Stacking The Shelves #9


From Tynga's Reviews:

We are all book lovers and the need to share our enthusiasm is sometimes overwhelming. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! 
If you’re anything like me, you are probably hoarding books and even though you are excited about your latest book arrival, it might be a while before you get to review it and Stacking The Shelves is a good way to express your undying enthusiasm for those titles!

I was walking in Barnes & Nobles the other day.  I had to pick up a technical book that I had purchased.  I wasn't suppose to buy anything else.  But somehow I ended up in the clearence section and somehow I ended up buying two books that I wasn't suppose to buy.

Both books were from authors that I have read before and whose books I enjoyed.

From Audrey Niffenegger:






I read The Time Traveler's Wife and cried like a baby at the end.  I also passed it on to my roommates.  One in which also cried and the other could not get into it and gave up.  I don't know if it is fair, but I have high expections for Her Fearful Symmetry.









From Yann Martel:






I read the Life of Pi and even though it did not make me cry and I did not enjoy the end.  I did enjoy the journey enough to remember the authors name and to pick up Beatrice and Virgil without hesitation.  









What did you add to your shelves this week?
