Stacking the Shelves September 7th, 2013

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected.  I didn't really think I'd have too much to share this week, but then, today happened at the bookstore.  We had an author, a picture book author, but still.  I have an 18 month old niece, so picture books are on my list of things to buy now.  Without further ado, let's get to my new books!

E-galley from Edelweiss:

So excited to get permission for this one!  I'm a huge Andrea Cremer fan, loved the Nightshade series, and I can't wait to see what this new book is about.  I'm wondering if it is steampunk maybe?  Which I've never read before, so we'll see!

Books Purchased for myself:

The 2nd book is one I've already read, but since the author, Maggie Stiefvater, will be in town the day her 2nd book in The Raven Boys series comes out, I have to buy this and get it autographed too!  The first book is a picture book I hadn't intended to buy, but when I looked through it, and then the author was in my bookstore that I work at today, I had to get it.  It's really cute!  Below is the picture of me with the author.

Purchased for other people:

The first one I got autographed by the author in the picture above, and I will be giving it to my adorable niece, who I'll put a picture of her below too.  The 2nd one is for my step-dad's birthday in a couple weeks.  Although I need to find something else, as it was a bargain book at my store.

Isn't she adorable?  And I can just see her daddy, my brother, having fun reading her the book I got her.

So tell me, what are you adding to your shelf this week?
