Goodie Basket (22): Book Haul & Blog Recap



Goodie Basket...is a weekly feature hosted here at Word Spelunking that showcases all the goodies (books, bookish things, reviews, interviews/giveaways/guest posts, blog tours, etc) that popped up in the Goodie Basket that is Word Spelunking each week.

(This meme is inspired by other book haul memes such as Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits & Tea and Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer )

In my Goodie Basket this week...

Just like their Halloween Promo books, Harper Collins has started their Holiday Books Promo by sending out YA/MG/Childrens books to bloggers that make great holiday gifts. This week I received their box of middle-grade books, which included...



Charlotte's Web (60th Anniversary edition) E.B. White
This was one my favorite books as a child and the hardcover anniversary edition is so gorgeous!


by Colin Meloy
I've had my eye on this series for awhile and am excited to finally get to read them!

The Harper Collins MG box also included:


My 16 year old sister claimed the One Direction book as soon as I opened the box and proceeded to read and fangirl over it! Now I just need to find someone with Bieber Fever who I can gift the other book to ;)

From Simon & Schuster:


I had never heard of this series before but I'm excited to start reading the spooktacular books!

Yay! You can't really go wrong with Charlotte's Web.

I'm drooling over the Days of Blood and Starlight. I'm still listening to the Daughter of Smoke and Bone but I'm loving it.
