Exploring My Bookshelves (#11)

Exploring My Bookshelves is a weekly meme created over here at Addlepates and Book Nerds. For more info on how it works, have a look here

This week I want to know…

Books you bought the instant they were released

I thought I avoided this pretty well. But as I was going through my shelf, I realised I do it too often! These are only some of the books:

They’re all books that are the last (or nearly the last) in series I adore.

Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex by Eoin Colfer

Silver Shadows and The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead

Last Stand of Dead Men and Armageddon Out Of Here by Derek Landy

I also forgot the Deathly Hallows, which I remember having to get two copies of (one for a friend) and reading just behind my mum so she could check that it wasn’t too violent for me. There’s a great picture of us both cuddled up in bed the day it came out.

ALSO, I am so sorry about last week! I posted the thing a week early, and I got confused and panicked last week. Oops 😛 But we’re back on track now, don’t you worry! 🙂

Anyway, there are mine! What are yours? Are you a book orderer, or a spontaneous buyer? Don’t forget to add your link!
