I am really excited to participate in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality.
My Life
This is a busy time of year around our house and this week was no different. Last weekend, we went to Mizzou to see a football game and meet one of the professors. The visit went well except for the fact that I left my sunscreen at home. My face ended up getting incredibly sunburned and was quite painful for a bit.
I am off at another marching band competition today so please be patient if it takes some time to return comments.
Books Added
The Mortal Word by Genevieve Cogman (NetGalley)
Instauration by Sarah Lyons Fleming (Kindle Unlimited)
I am really excited to get an early copy of The Mortal Word since I have been a huge fan of the series since it began. I was very excited by the fact that Instauration was released this week. I had planned to wait for the audiobook but when I noticed that the book was available on Kindle Unlimited, I downloaded it right away and set all other reading material aside. I am about halfway through with this 900+ page book and am loving every minute of it.
What books do you add to your shelves this week?
Let me know in the comments and be sure to leave a link to your own STS post!
I'm doing nothing but reading and watching stuff this weekend! The phrase '900 pages' scares me!
I don't mind long books as long as they are what I want to read. I was really excited to start this one and wanted it to last as long as possible so long was good!
Glad your Mizzou visit went well!
Nice new reads too! 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!

Thanks, Jessica!
I’m glad the visit went well! Sorry, about the sunburn. Hopefully that heals quickly. Have a great week!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
Guess who got another sunburn? You would think that I would learn!
Sorry to hear you got sun burned.
It seems like it might become a weekly thing.
Sorry about the sun burn. I hope you remembered the sunblock today (if it's needed). Enjoy your new books!
Of course, I forgot the sunscreen and got burned again!
Yikes about the sunburn. Have a good time at the competition. Enjoy your new books and have a great week!
Thanks, Grace!
900!!!!!!!!!
It was 900+ pages of awesome!
I confess that they're new to me! Happy reading!
Thanks, Melliane!
Ouch on the sunburn, but glad you had a pretty decent week. Woohoo on getting the new one.
Have a good week, Carole!
Thanks, Sophia Rose!
Oh I sunburn terribly too. One time in Florida for a vendor conference I went to the beach and used sunscreen except I forgot my feet. I actually had to have a shot to reduce the swelling so I could walk. Another time I was spring skiing, again I wore sunscreen, and ended up in the hospital overnight with ice packs on my face (Colorado) So I feel for you!
I'm also excited for Mortal Word. I haven't heard of he city series but that is one long book. Anne – Books of My Heart
That sounds terrible, Anne! Thankfully, my sunburn was not nearly as bad as your experience.
I do like reading those longer books sometimes, hope you are loving it.
I don't mind longer books every once in a while.
I am so excited about The Mortal Word. I cannot wait to read it! I might have let out a squeal when I was approved. I hope we both love it. 🙂 Enjoy all your books! Have a great week, Carole! I hope the competition went well!
Yes! I am so excited about The Mortal Word. It has been a great series so far!
Great list of reads! Too bad i have a wedding to attend
I hope you had a good time at the wedding!
Sorry about the sunburn; that's the worst!! This is a really busy time of the year for me too.

I think this whole school year is going to be busy!
Oh I hate sunburns and I'm notoriously bad about sunscreen which given my coloring is close to tragic. I go tomato pretty quickly which isn't flattering given my red hair! Another Invisible Library book! I got the first one for Christmas (okay 2 Christmases ago) and really meant to read it! Have a great week!
Sunburns are just not any fun. I do enjoy the Invisible Library series so I hope you get a chance to give it a try soon.
Oh no, sunburn is never fun for anyone! I hope it got better really quickly. Also, that is quite the mammoth of a book at 900 pages!! I am glad you have been able to dive in and start enjoying it right from the get go though 😀
I don't mind long books as long as there are good one. I ended up loving this one!
