I have had the worst weekend ever! I was in bed all weekend with a stomach flu that, needless to say, sucked really bad. Even worse than that, I can't read when I'm sick. I don't know why, but I just can't concentrate long enough to really understand what's going on so I didn't get much reading done either... urgh.
I've decided to incorporate my version of the popular Mailbox Monday into my Manic Monday Recaps posts... it's more like Countertop Monday's since that's where I keep my books throughout the week so that I can stare at them in all their glory until the weekend when I finally grab them and stash them in my shelves. So from now on there will be a picture of their awesomeness along with where/who/how I acquired them.

And there you have it. Although I did read 7 books last week - I had the chance to read at least 1 even 2 more over the weekend, but I just couldn't focus on them, so blah. Hope you all have a lovely week.

You got Alice!
I can't wait to see what you think!
Glad you're feeling better :)
I'm the same way when I get sick. My brain refuses to focus and it just sits there taking up space. I hope you feel better!
Some awesome books acquired this past week. I really enjoyed The Book of Lost Things and I'm loving the cover for Alice In Wonderland. I hope you enjoy your books!
Hope you feel better soon.
I can't read when I'm sick either but always get sucked into mindles hours of reality TV.
Love the new cover of Alice in Wonderland and I can't wait for your review on Shutter Island-the preview on TV seriously creeps me out!
Get well soon!
Wow, 7 books. You have some great titles on your list. Some of them I am not familiar with so I will watch for your reviews!
Did I mention how jealous I am of One Amazing Thing?
Interesting cover on Alice! I am reading One Amazing Thing right now. I hope you feel better soon!
Hi Nely! So sorry to hear you've been under the weather with the stomach flu ... that's gotta be just about the worst flu ever!
Now I'm sitting here sick with ENVY over all the yummy books you've got LOL - enjoy & hope you are on the way to feeling much better =D
Feel better!
The Alice cover looks awesome. Oh, and I can't wait to hear your op on The Strain. I have it in my pile too!
Cool, Shutter Island! I had no idea that was a book. I want to see the movie, but now I'll have to read the book first.

I hope you feel better soon. I can't read either when I am really sick. It stinks. :)
