I work about 44 miles away from where I live. So when the weather is bad, I can’t always make it home. This was the case last week. Monday morning before work, I packed my bag with 3 days of clothes. Luckily, that was all I needed.

Monday night I got a hotel room, the other two, I stayed with a coworker.

Knowing me, clothes and toiletries weren’t all I packed. Of course, I packed books. 5 to be exact. I was almost finished with one when I left for work on Monday and I wanted to be prepared.

Here’s my stash:

I actually didn’t get as much reading done as I thought I would. Monday I finished one and started another, but all week, I was battling a runny nose and scratchy throat. If I could’ve spent as much time reading as I did blowing my nose, I probably would’ve finished two or three.

Progress: I finished One Amazing Thing and started Definitely Dead which I plan on finishing today.

We’re supposed to get another round of snow starting tonight, so I’ll have to pack my bags again. I got The Time Traveler’s Wife this week, so I’ll probably start it and take all the ones pictured above… just in case!

For the Holiday Swap this year, I got Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty. So, I decided I needed the rest of the series. I got Sloppy Firsts, Charmed Thirds and Fourth Comings.   I decided not to get Perfect Fifths yet because I always carry a book with me and I like carrying paperbacks better than hardbacks. The paperback for Perfect Fifths comes out in March. That gives me enough time to get through the rest

I also got LA Candy by Lauren Conrad. I feel like I watched Lauren grow up from Laguna Beach to The Hills. I quit watching the show when I got out of college, but I was really excited when this book came out. But, like already mentioned, I wanted to wait until it came out in paperback.

Now I know I said I got 5 books, but only mentioned 4. The other was a gift for someone that they aren’t getting for a couple of weeks, so I’ll wait until I give it to them to post it, just in case they happen to stop by

This week, I got a lot of presents, to me, from me. Borders.com had a special where you could buy 4, get one free. So, of course, since I had tons o’ gift cards, I took advantage. I got 5 books using gift cards and still have a few dollars left.
