In My Shopping Bag (16)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag".  (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)
Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag from the past week....

Well, after last weeks haul....had to take a break on the pocketbook this time....

Hey, I just saw "The Roving Reader" on Juju's blog. I think it is a great idea! I will try it sometime, I will have to keep a look out for good covers while at the bookstore.

Bri Ahearn said...

Lovely books you received. What, you don't want ICARLY?! That's so cute you received that as a survey prize. Donate it to the library!

What's the Alice book? I want to read that!

Gina said...

inthehammockblog: It does, doesn't it? Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the kind words regarding my site...I'll be stopping back through yours from time to time as well! =0)

Bri Meets Books: GASP! Is it true? Bri is back on the blogosphere! (LOL) iCarly is cute, but alas, I probably won't be keeping it. The Alice book is Stickfigurtively Speaking...a stick figure illustrated version of Alice in Wonderland. It looks really cute....will be reading next.
