IMM/ Stacking The Shelves/Haul Post
So it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these post, but I got some really great deals and I just have to share them !
Fountain Bookstore (Richmond, VA) is having a Supernatural Sunday Spectacular Event on March 24th with Kim Harrison, Jeaniene Frost, Vicki Pettersson, Pamela Palmer, all adult Urban Fantasy Authors. Now while this isn’t my usual genre I’m really fascinated by it. Since I really enjoy Fountain’s events I’ve decided to do some pre-reading in preparation
Just my luck 2nd & Charles was having a buy 5 get 5 free Mass Market Paperback sale. Kat and I stopped by on our way back in town from a signing, we found a lot of the author’s books for 3-4$ each.
Kami Garcia had a signing at Barnes and Noble this Saturday in Bethesda, MD. Beautiful Redemption is the only book in the series I don’t have. I’ve only read the first two books. More on the event later !

- L-Shaped Brackets (Home Depot, shelving aisle)
- Screws/Nails
- Hammer/Screw Driver
Since there are brick walls in my apartment I had to use screws with a masonry bit. I’m sure you can use a nail and hammer depending on the surface. This is how May December Home set hers up….

It’s a great Urban Fantasy, Jess and I have listened to all three audiobooks in the series multiple times and here’s a few lessons we’ve learned from the Curseworker’s Series:
