YES! Finally, this week my number of books on my shelf to-be-read has dropped instead of climbing! Unfortunately, I have a lot of ebook reviews to do, so hopefully it doesn't get too high before I can get back to my physical copies.

Sorry about the sound, I'm not sure why it's being weird. I think I may need to invest in an actual webcam instead of the built-in one. And if you're wondering why I smile a lot in the beginning, my kitten was nibbling my toes while I was recording this!

Reading Through My Bookshelf

 I reassessed my bookshelf and realized I'd included a number of my boyfriend's books. So I re-adjusted by original count, although after this week, it's still way to high!

Oh dear, my bookshelf is getting fuller instead of emptier! And it's only going to get worse, as I have a bunch of ebooks to review coming up PLUS I'm making an effort to complete at least one more 2012 challenge, which also includes a number of ebooks. But I'll keep working on reading more of my physical copies and I don't know of anything else coming in the mail!

Another week of moving backwards. Unfortunately, I'm in the midst of midterms, so there hasn't been a lot of time for reading. Midterm craziness ends Oct. 24, so only a few more weeks, then a mini-read-a-thon!

I skipped a couple weeks, but I've also instituted a (conditional) book buying ban (see below), so I haven't had much to share. But this week I received a few things, plus it was my birthday on Thursday. So here's what I got in the past 2 weeks.

Books:
The Diviners (ARC) - Libba Bray - A big thanks to Jenni @ Alluring Reads for giving me this one!
Adaptation - Malinda Lo - This one is from Jenni as well.
Lullabies for Little Criminals - Heather O'Neill - A big thanks to Kristilyn @ Reading in Winter for giving me this one!
A Song of Fire and Ice box set (Includes: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows) - George R.R. Martin - A big thanks to my wonderful boyfriend for giving me this one for my birthday and sharing my Game of Thrones obsession!

Swag:Origin bookmark, signature sticker and fridge magnet - Thanks to author Jessica Khoury for sending me this!
The Dark Unwinding bookmark - Thanks to author Sharon Cameron and blogger Lauren @ The House Work Can Wait!

I'm not sure what I was thinking, but somehow I let my boyfriend talk me into a book buy ban (I think it has something to do with my overflowing bookshelves). Basically, I'm not allowed to buy any more books until I've read all the ones I currently have. It sounds reasonable, but I hope you fellow book bloggers can understand how hard this is for me! I weaseled in a condition that allows me to buy books if they are a continuation of a series that I already have. But that it! Until I read all the way through my bookshelf!

Oops, starting off by moving backwards. I guess that means no more library books! But at least I didn't break the rules!
