Added to the Bookshelf - 6/9/12 (Special #BEA Edition)


Sharing the books & bookish goodies that I've bought, borrowed, won, or been gifted and have added to my bookshelves over the past week!
(Inspired by Mailbox Monday, IMM, and the like)






OK, so I am going to apologize in advance as this post is going to be long.  I was at BEA this week (my first time) and picked up a ton of great books. I can't thank all of the wonderful Publishers and Authors enough for the opportunity to preview these titles. I also picked up a few at a yard sale and won a few this week in addition to one review book. Therefore, pictures and no summaries..only links to Goodreads this week... 


 So here we go!
