It's a Christmas edition of Stacking the Shelves!!

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews. This is where we talk about the books we have acquired over the week, whether they be physical or ebooks, borrowed, purchased or ARCs.

Today is a magnificent, huge edition of Stacking the Shelves because of Christmas!

I have received so many books over the last month!! I have a monthly book buying budget, but with the exception of Winter, I have not purchased any new books since September. Crazy, right?? So I had four months of book money saved up and I got more than a few Amazon gift cards as gifts. People know me, right?? And I got more than a little ARC happy. My TBR is officially out of control once again. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks to Edelweiss for these ARCs:

Thank you NetGalley for these ARCs:

These are ebooks that I purchased (some with my money and some with gift cards):

These are physical copies that I purchased for myself:

Yes, 95% of all my book purchases are ebooks. I had to buy a physical copy of The Book Thief because it is my favorite book ever (only had to go to two bookstores to find a non movie cover one!) and I purchased Illuminae because it is beautiful and it seems like the format is better with the physical copy than the Kindle version.

These books were gifted to me:

I am so happy to have the physical copy of The Princess Bride! The hardback edition is beautiful. I also received the movie, so I am pretty happy. The other book I received was The End of The Affair. That is a classic I have wanted to read, but it is not available on Kindle. Boo!

Funny conversation with my husband:

Me: "The Princess Bride is my favorite book ever. I am so glad I have the physical copy now!"

Husband: "I thought The Book Thief was your favorite book ever."

Me: "I can have more than one favorite book ever."

I am really surprised that my husband didn't know that. Duh.

And here is a bookish non-book item that my parents gave me:

And YES, it does smell like books!! It smells freaking amazing.  You can buy one for yourself here. 

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas/Hanukkah/Holiday season! 

What books have you acquired lately? Any exciting bookish gifts that you have received?
