Busy week this week, in terms of things I’ve received in the mail (not all of them book related). First off, my Book Depository order arrived, and I was super excited because I’ve been wanting a copy of this book for ages. Then I had ordered a couple of book-related t-shirts (LotR-themed), picked up some children’s books for possible library purchase from NetGalley, and also received my Disney order. My very fun mail week was even more enjoyed because I had to stay late at work all week for Parent-Teacher Conferences, so this was a nice pick-me-up (not that conferences didn’t go well, because they did, it’s just exhausting!).
Purchased:
- Tales of the Greek Heroes by Roger Lancelyn Green (Puffin Hardcover edition – so cute!)
E-books/E-Galleys:
- Me, Him, Them and It by Caela Carter (NetGalley)
- Ariel Bradley: A Spy for George Washington by Lynda Durrant (NetGalley)
- That Time I Joined the Circus by J.J. Howard
- The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson (NetGalley)
- Grave Mercy (His Dark Assassin #1) by R.L. LaFevers (Kindle Daily Deal)
- Something to Prove: The Great Satchel Paige vs. Rookie Joe Dimaggio by Robert Skead (NetGalley – review HERE)
- Lament: The Faerie Queen’s Deception by Maggie Stiefvater (Kindle Daily Deal)
Thank you to Bloomsbury Kids, Lerner and Scholastic for the e-galleys!
In book-related, non-book items, I picked up these two shirts from Spreadshirt.com. Both are Lord of the Rings-themed and I ♥ them!
And then I picked up some Disney items, because I adore Disney everything, and Valentine’s Day always makes me think of Disney (happily-ever-afters, you know):
I also picked up a cute “it’s a small world” bag (London-themed!) and a Cinderella’s glass slipper necklace. Love!
So that’s what I received this week! What about you? Please link me!

I adore the Disney shirt with the balloons; so cute!!! :)
Thanks! I saw it on the site and just HAD to have it. :)
I enjoyed Carter’s book and hope you do too.
Brandi @ Blkosiner’s Book Blog
Thanks, Brandi!
Lovely books! I loved Lament, so I hope you enjoy it too!
The Book Monsters
I’ve already read Lament but didn’t own a copy for myself, so jumped on the Kindle deal. I still want to get a copy for my shelves, though, because I really loved it a lot. A faerie book done right!
What a great haul! Seriously I hope you enjoy all of your books.
Here’s mine

Thanks for stopping by!
I love the Snow White top, I do love Disney! :)
Looks like a great haul. I’m jealous, you have The Summer Prince. I want to read that one. Looks lots of fun! :) Hope you enjoy your books.
I am a giant Disney fan. Disney World is probably my favorite place I’ve ever traveled to. ♥
The Summer Prince is up on NetGalley from Scholastic. I don’t know if you have to live in the US to request but it might be worth checking out if you’re interested!
I got rejected from NetGalley.. :( Still, thanks for the suggestion. Yes, Disney World is amazing.
I LOVE the Disney stuff, I am a sucker for Disney too. (There is a company that makes fun Disney running gear I love Here) I really enjoyed Lament, hopefully you will too!

Thanks for the link! Not that I need to blow any more money, of course, but I am always looking for Disney-inspired gear!
Those shirts are awesome! I’m going to go check out that site now… I love printed tees :) I hope you enjoy all your books Merin!
They have TONS of stuff on there! I could have spent hours just browsing. I initially went for the “You Shall Not Pass” tee, but saw the other one and couldn’t resist getting it, too. :)
I totally missed that Kindle Daily deal with Grave Mercy. Oh well. It’s been on my to read list for a while, and it will probably stay there for a little while longer. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by Tynga’s Reviews!
I loved Grave Mercy, but the book is enormous and heavy, so I jumped at the Kindle deal. :)
Disney is totally the best!!!! Do you have a favorite Disney movie? Mine is definitely Beauty and the Beast, but The Little Mermaid and Aladdin are close runners up. I love those Disney Renaissance movies! :)
Beauty and the Beast is my favorite princess movie, but I actually really love The Sword in the Stone. They never have SitS merchandise, though, which is a shame; I’d scoop it up in a heartbeat!
That’s frustrating. A few years back I was searching for an Ariel t-shirt for women (not little girls) and could not find it anyway. I was so frustrated!
When I was perusing their site for this order, the only shirts they had for females were some Villains-inspired stuff and lots of Snow White shirts. There was a super cute Belle shirt, but it was out of stock; I was bummed, because I totally would have gotten it!
I would have totally been all over that Belle shirt, too. Come on Disney, adults like your stuff too! :)
I LOVE your disney t-shirts! :)
Thanks! I can’t wait for it to get warmer so I can wear them!
I’m sooo jealous of That Time I Joined the Circus and The Summer Prince! *requests those immediately* I hope I get approved too! Enjoy your new books. :)
My Stacking the Shelves
I hope you get approved! I’m really excited about both of them. :)
Grave Mercy is really a good read, you’ll definitely love the kick-ass heroine! And I love your disney shirts!
Oh, I already own a print copy of Grave Mercy (and also had an e-galley). I adored it, but the book is so huge and heavy that I went ahead and picked up the Kindle version just for easier transport. :)
Oh the Greek Tales look amazing! Did you caress it and call it precious because I totally would have!
Haha, close to it, yeah. :D It’s a smaller-sized book and the cover is textured, and I just really really love it. ♥
I love the Disney shirts! My copy of Grave Mercy has been sitting around for ages, and I really need to get to it, especially with the sequel coming out soon. I hope you enjoy all of the awesome things you received this week!
Grave mercy is really good and I love your LOTR & Disney shirt :D
Happy reading!
Haul – Mel@thedailyprophecy.
What a great haul! I love the t-shirts. I really need to read Grave Mercy before the next one comes out. The covers in that series are so awesome!
