Well! This week has certainly been a busy week for me. I spent the first part of the week in London with my partner, laying waste to Forbidden Planet, Waterstones Piccadilly and Foyles… not to mention the British Museum’s bookshop. (There were some museums, too, yes!) Then I spent the latter half of the week (re)acquainting myself with the libraries local to my parents, since I’m going to be staying here almost all the time I’m not with my partner in Belgium.
Fiction purchased
I’m looking forward to quite a few of these. And thanks to Forbidden Planet, my copy of Newt’s Emerald is signed.
Non-fiction purchased
A fairly random selection, all from the British Museum’s bookshop. I love getting my hands on new non-fiction.
Library
Another interesting mix, of course! I have no idea when I think I’m going to get round to all this, but it’s fun anyway.
How’s everyone else doing?
Oh WOW, Nikki! That’s a nice and big selection you got this week! I hope you’ll enjoy them all 🙂 Are you staying close to London while your partner is in Belgium? Is it easy to visit so you guys can still see each other quite often?
Have a wonderful weekend.
She’s always lived in Belgium, actually! I’m not close to London at all — up in Yorkshire — but it’s only a two hour journey by train to get there and then a couple hours on the Eurostar to Belgium, so it’s not too bad. Thanks for dropping by!
Great haul! I haven’t heard of any of these but I hope you love them!
Danielle @ Life With Two Boys
Thanks!
It looks like you’ve grabbed a nice selection this week! I hope you enjoy your books! Have a great weekend…
A nice BIG selection, too, haha. Thanks for dropping by!
Great haul! I have the Accident Season on my TBR and have heard so many amazing things about it this week that I’m hoping to read it very, very soon. Hope you enjoy reading all your new books 🙂
Here’s my weekly wrap up & stacking the shelves post:

I enjoyed it, though I wasn’t quite sure what to think when I finished it! Thanks for dropping by.
I hope you enjoy The Accident Season, it’s a good read. Miss Peregrine’s is a series that I really need to pick up, they sound amazing.
What a wonderful haul 🙂
Novel Ink’s STS”
I did enjoy it, but I don’t quite know what to think of it! And yes, the Ransom Riggs books are fun.
Yeah, I enjoyed it but rated it 3 stars. I wasn’t as blown away as I thought I would have been…
I think I gave it four stars… it’s good, but the ambiguity of some of it was frustrating.
Yes, I totally know what you mean. Some things were wrapped up, but a lot was left to our imagination and I didn’t like that aspect.
Awesome haul. Nice big selection to keep you busy. It looks like it was a great week for you.
Grace @ Books of Love
Yep, it was awesome — and I went to another new library this weekend…
I must get around to Hollow City at some point so that I can read Library of Souls. I hope that you enjoy these books.
They are fun, you totally should. I need to start Library of Souls ASAP.
Yes, nice mix. Radiance looks interesting! Happy reading.
I normally enjoy Valente’s work, so I’m very hopeful about Radiance!
What a great haul and a very diverse selection. I am excited to see Radiance and Our Lady of the Ice!
I’m excited about them too! I saw them in Forbidden Planet London and couldn’t leave without them. (Radiance at least isn’t on sale here yet except in ebook.)
I keep meaning to read more of the Ransom Riggs series. Happy reading!
Tsuki’s STS
Doooo, it’s interesting!
Tanith Lee, Peter Watts, and David Weber. Nice!
Yes, it’s a great haul!
