Giveaway Winners and Bookshelf Pictures

By: Meradeth Houston on 4:00 AM

Before anything else, I want to shout-out a giant THANK YOU to all the awesome people who helped out with my Travelers giveaway! Seriously, you have all been amazing! And making my giant spreadsheet of who shared posts and pictures and everything else just made me all the more grateful. Travelers has been doing really well and I have all of you to thank for it. And as I said in my earlier post, I'd give a $5 giftcard to Amazon to one person who helped spread the word, and random.org has spoken: William Kendall is the winner! Congrats!! (And you should check out his blog--it's hilarious!)

On another note, whew, has it been a crazy couple of weeks! Awesome, for sure, but definitely a little nuts :) Between moving, and the release of Travelers, I also had a really fun road trip with my bestie--we made it to Bandlands and Mt Rushmore, and a ton of sites in between. (If you really want to see some pics, check out my Instagram...yes, that's a shameless plug.) It's been a wonderful time and I'm sad to see if pass, especially as that means the school year is about to start, haha!

So, between it all, I managed to get my books all unpacked and into my new bookshelves. They are still in need of a bit more organizing, but they're all out of boxes for the first time in 3 years. And I am rather happy about that! Granted, I totally ran out of space and still have to figure out where I'm going to put my music and videos, but that's something I'll worry about later :) But, as I promised a few weeks ago, a few pics:

Okay, so some of those photos aren't the best, but you get the idea. And yes, that is 4.5 bookcases full. I think I have too many books ;) This isn't even counting my work books, which are in my office on campus. But, yeah, lots of books, and lots of reading!!
