Bookshelf Tour!! ~Catch-up & C~

Okay, folks. If you've been following my blog since January, then you might remember The Post In Which I Said I Was Temporarily Discontinuing The Bookshelf Tour. But that has changed. B-) If I can sort through those boxes of books to pull out stuff for book tags, I can do this. Besides, I was really enjoying the bookshelf tour and I hope y'all were as well. :) 

If you missed any of the previous posts, here's the links. :) 

First off we have some catching-up to do. :) I've got some 'A' and 'B' books since I did those posts, so I'll give those books to you now. ;) Because y'all really want to see them...right? *doesn't accept no for an accurate answer* 

Anchored: Finding Hope in the Unexpected by Kayla Aimee -- You can read my review for this book HERE. 
The Good Fight: How World War II was Won by Stephen Ambrose -- I read this book for school, and to be a 'children's book' it is really informational and I love it. :)

And, lastly, my Time-Life World War II books by Ronald H. Bailey. I love these books sooo much. I haven't read them all cover-to-cover, but they're so great for research. 
The Home Front -- I got this one last summer, but it somehow got excluded from the tour. :-/

Christmas Books!



***I apologize that this post is late (again...) But we got home late last night after caroling and I didn't have time to finish this post. :) 

You all knew it was coming, didn't you? You knew that sooner or later during this 12 Days a post would appear here that wasn't much more than a bunch of pictures of books. ;) I don't know what it is but I enjoy taking pictures of books. Don't ask why, but I do. It's photogenic. :) (Yeah, my mom doesn't get it either... xD) 
So anyways, on with the introduction. I went around the house collecting all our Christmas books. Wow-sie! We have a lot more than I realized! 

 All our Christmas books...and movies. However, since I took these pictures we've gotten at least one more book and movie :) (more on that at the end of this post...) 

So, I'm going to list each book and the author(s). Okay, I have to ask something first. How many of you aren't even reading this? How many just skim over all my senseless rambles? *no answer* Yeah, that's what I thought. ;)

Have you read any of these? 
If so, did you enjoy them?

Bookshelf Tour! A's

Hello everyone! 
 After seeing this post on Shantelle's blog, I knew I wanted to do something similar. However, I knew I'd never find the time to take pictures and type out the titles and authors of all my books at once. So I thought of an alternative. :D My books are organized by the author's last name, so I'll post each letter separately. For example, today I'll post all the books whose author's last name starts with A. Get it? Sound fun? Then let's get started! :)

Y'all know how over-obsessive I am with stickin' in lots of pictures so hang with me. :) 

Here's the top three shelves of my six-shelves bookshelf. Any comments about all the clutter (especially on shelf-3) is not accepted. B-) 

I spread the books out on my rug beside the bed. Ain't it a pretty rug, by the way? ;)

- Your A-Z Guide to Trying New Things

Let me stop here and explain before I go on. I have lots of American Girl books (AG). Instead of putting them on my shelf according to author's last name, they're all on there as "American". :-) I've did this with a few other sets, but I'll add that in when the time comes.  :)
