The week started out just fine. On Tuesday night, I had a migraine start with visual involvement. It stuck around for a couple of days and was really not a lot of fun. I had a hard time focusing on anything and just felt lousy. I did feel okay enough to watch a little TV so I started Season 1 of Game of Thrones. I have only watched the first two episodes but am looking forward to more soon. I also watched Midnight Texas this week and thought it was a lot of fun.
Digital Books
Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas (Kindle Purchase)
Outlaw Hearts by Rosanne Bittner (Kindle Purchase)
Do Not Forsake Me by Rosanne Bittner (Kindle Purchase)
I stayed off of NetGalley and Edelweiss this week and that is a big accomplishment for me! I bought Queen of Shadows when I saw it for sale on Amazon for $2.99. I now have the whole series…I just need to start reading them. I plan to start reading Rosanne Bittner’s Outlaw Hearts series in the next week or so. I found my paperback copied of the first two books this week to get them ready to go. I opened them to take a look only to see that the print is so tiny that I am not going to be able to read it comfortably…so I checked Amazon and bought the kindle versions. Do Not Forsake Me was on sale for $0.99 so it wasn’t a huge set back but it is frustrating to be forced to buy a book a second time because of tiny print. I can read normal size print but when publishers start moving to super tiny font, I am going to have issues.
Print Books
I was asked by the publisher to review this book. It sounds great and I am looking forward to it. It did take a while to get here and to be honest, I had kind of given up on it and took it off of my reading calendar. Now I need to squeeze it back into my reading schedule.
Audiobooks
Wildfire by Ilona Andrews (Audible Purchase)
I don’t usually remember to include my audio additions. I pre-ordered this book a few months ago and can’t wait to immerse myself in this wonderful story yet again.
What books do you add to your shelves this week?

oh you added some good ones to your shelves. I am so thrilled that you will be reading the Outlaw Hearts series soon. I have noticed that Sourcebooks has made their printed books print smaller lately.
I just can't do the tiny print anymore. I would have such a headache.
Oh man sorry about your migraine. GoT is so good! Hope you like it as it goes on. ENjoy your new books and have a great week!
Thanks, Grace! I hate migraines. Looking forward to watching more GoT soon š
Ugh, migraines suck. I tend to get headaches more than anything, but I still feel your pain! Nice new reads! Totally new to me ones! Hope you enjoy them all!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

Headaches are no fun either. Thanks, Jessica!
I hope you feel better soon so you can watch more Game of Thrones. Iām kinda obsessed with that show. Enjoy your new books!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Everyone has been saying how good GoT is so I had to give it a try. Hopefully, I can watch more episodes soon.
Really hope you love Game of Thrones! It just gets better as the seasons go on! My dad has finished watching season five so he's getting there! I was blubbering at the end of episode two in season one…I'm such a soft touch!
I enjoyed the first two episodes but have heard that it just gets better. The end of the second episode was tough.
Wonderful stack of books this week. I hope you love all of them.
Grace @ Books of Love
Thanks, Grace!
Bummer about the migraine. Oh hey… didn't know Midnight Texas is on. I loved the trilogy.
Neat that you got the Rosanne Bittners, but yeah, I can't do tiny print anymore, either. Wildfire!!! Now that will be fun, too.
Have a migraine-less week, Carole! š
I really want to read the Midnight Texas series and thought about trying to work it in before the show but it didn't happen. Maybe soon.
Oooh! You got Queen of Shadows! I need to continue reading the Throne of Glass series!
Hereās my STS!

I haven't even started that series. I do hope I like it!
I loved wildfire! I need to try the Maas one! happy reading!
Wasn't Wildfire a great story? I am already thinking about another re-read!
I just finished The Address and loved it! I loved all the historical details for both periods. I hope you like it.
I finished The Address and liked it but didn't love it. I should have my review posted later this week.
Migraines suck!
But yay books
Yay books!
Looks like a great haul of books. I hope you enjoy Game of Thrones. I need to go back and rewatch it, just because. – Katie
Here's my STS –> http://justanothergirlandherbooks.blogspot.de/2017/07/stacking-shelves-29-july-2017.html
It might take me a while to get through it but so far so good!
I also stayed off NetGalley and Edelweiss for the whole week! I know what you mean. It truly is a big achievement š
Exactly!
Oh my! Those are lovely books you've got there Carole
And did you just said you started watching the Game of Thrones?! My! I've been following that series and it gets better in every episodes. I'm still sad about my favorite character's death but overall, this series is aha-mazing!
Everyone seems to love Game of Thrones. So far so good for me.
Wow, amazingly well done for staying off of both! I barely ever go on netgalley now but Edelweiss… is still my biggest temptation. I am sorry to hear about your migraines and how much they bothered you though š
I am seriously tempted by both but I am so far behind and it is causing me stress.
Oh man! That stinks on the migraine. I've been getting headaches from the heat but nothing that severe. I hope you're feeling better and have an easier week! Yay for Bittner! Such a pretty read š
The worst part was that I had just sat down to read and suddenly couldn't see the book. Grrr…
Hope you're faring better. Sooo behind with reading the Maas series. Have a good week.
I haven't even started reading her books but I pick them up anytime they go on sale. Hopefully, I like them š
I'm so sorry to hear about your migraine! I hope you're feeling better now. It's awful how debilitating those are. I keep forgetting about Midnight! I'll have to check and see if it's On Demand or Hulu so I can catch up. Congrats on staying off of NetGalley and Edelweiss! I was not as well behaved! Have a great week!
I am enjoying Midnight Texas so far. It is something fun to watch over the summer!
I love the covers of Rosanne Bittner's books! That purple one is SO gorgeous. I love sales!
I hope you are migraine-free this week! Enjoy your new books!
Have a lovely week, Carole. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I think that the covers are really well done. Gotta love a sale š
I have seen Wildfire on a few blogs. I need to check it out. ToG is one of my fave series. . I am excited to get new books in the series soon.
It is such a great trilogy, Sam! Make sure you read them in order starting with Burn for Me.
I'd say wait for the entire Throne of Glass series to be out before starting it. Then, you can just binge the entire thing. š
Sounds like a plan….then I won't have to feel guilty about not reading them.
I really need to read Project Pandora as well. I was approved late, like you and am finding I have to make time for it. I hope we both enjoy it.
They offered to send me a copy but it ended up taking a couple of weeks to arrive. I hope to get it read this weekend.
