Stacking the Shelves: The Hobbit Edition

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews! It's a chance to share all of our bookish goodness with the blogging world. Yay! :D

So these past few weeks have been kinda crazy. Between finals (okay, I only had one final but it was intense so cut me some slack!) and work I haven't had much time to blog, but now I am free for two whole weeks so YAY!!!! You should be seeing a lot more of me this coming semester. Good news right?

Anyways, I titled this one The Hobbit edition because I spend most of the vlog fangirling about The Hobbit and Tolkien in general. In fact, I edited out almost 10 minutes of extra fangirling. It was getting a bit much but I just love The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings so much that once you get me started, it's hard to get me to stop. Be sure to watch the vlog to see all my awesome Hobbit swag (POSTERS YES!) but if you're just here for the books I got you can just scroll down to the list. :)

Have any of you guys seen The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey yet? DID YOU LOVE IT?!?! If you have seen it let me know what you thought and be sure to say who your favorite dwarf was! In case it wasn't obvious in the vlog mine is Kili. Bofur is a close second but Kili is just such an adorable badass I cannot help but love him. BEST. DWARF. EVER. Peter Jackson and Aidan Turner win all the awards  for bringing such an awesome character to life.

Stacking the Shelves: Black Friday Edition (sort of)

I'm joining up with Stacking the Shelves for the first time today! It's hosted by Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews and is a chance for us to share our awesome books and other bookish related things that we got this week!

It's been MONTHS since I did a book haul and a vlog. IT FELT SO WEIRD. I worked through it with minimal awkwardness though! Haha. If you wanna watch the vlog version it's embedded below and if not you can just scroll down for the full list of goodies.


Library Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson Nerve by Jeanne Ryan The Opposite of Hallelujah by Anna Jarzab Bought Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-Ray ($4 each. Yay black friday deals!) Rolling Stones The Hobbit Ultimate Guide Collectors Edition Hunger Games Band-Aids For Review The Panem Companion by V. Arrow I actually braved through Black Friday this year even though I hate crowds and shopping. My family convinced me to go. :P Fortunately, no one got hurt and there was minimal insanity (there were some line cutting issues near the end resulting in a lot of yelling) so ultimately it wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. I really don't think I want to do it again though. :P What new things are stacking your shelves this week? Let me know in the comments below and be sure to link me to your post so I can check it out! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a safe Black Friday! Julia :)
