Stacking the Shelves (8): Becky & Randi's huge haul

This meme is hosted (and was created by!) the lovely Tynga at Tynga's Reviews to share any new books we procure - from purchased books, review books, library books, gifted books, and ebooks! We're excited to be participating! :) As always, all titles link to Goodreads.

For Becky this week!

These are all books I'v purchased in various forms over the last few weeks! The Little Giant of Aberdeen County, by Tiffany Baker I read this two years ago after seeing as a staff-pick at the West-Des-Moines Library.  I remember loving it and the general plot, but it's definitely about due for a re-read. I purchased it in hardcover at a giant library booksale on Thursday in Bloomington, IN. 
The Sister, by Poppy Adams I read this three years ago and did not see the twists coming.  The gothic atmosphere and meandering descriptions really appealed to me.  Another purchase from the giant booksale on Thursday.  Hardcover, of course :)
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski This was a daring purchase for me, since I never buy books I haven't already read and loved.  I've seen this in several reader's advisory tools at different libraries and couldn't resist the hard copy for 2 dollars at the library on Thursday.
The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield I very nearly died when I saw this in hardcover on the booksale shelf.  I snatched it up!  The rich language and gothic atmosphere is amazing!
The White Darkness, by Geraldine McCaughrean I bought this online (hardcover) for a class discussion in youth materials. I LOVED it.
The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern This was purchased as an audiobook in a moment of desperation.  I had an 18 hour car ride and the library was closed.  I'm going to have to buy the hardcover later as well.
World War Z, by Max Brooks This was also bought for the car ride, and I liked it significantly less.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to sell it on ebay or give it to a friend.
Gossip Girl, by Cecily von Ziegesar I got the ebook version of this one,which I had to read on my computer to finish it in time  for my youth materials class.  If I knew how to resell an ebook I'd definitely do it.  This was a fun read but not one I'm really interested in owning.  Maybe I'll get a Kindle someday and feel like it's actually a real book and not something I just read on the web.    30 Days of Night: Rumors of the Undead, by Steve Niles & Jeff Mariotte I thought this was the actual 30 days of night book (shakes fist at hidden subtitle).  I'll probably read the others before I try this one.

Randi's new books! These are the books I've gotten in the past few weeks, so they are NOT all from this week! We save up our books to make a big post when we have lots of them to show you! :)
