Stacking the Shelves #153

Posted January 12, 2019 by Carole in Stacking the Shelves / 52 Comments

I am really excited to participate in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality.

My Life
This was a pretty normal week.  It was my turn to take my daughter to her jazz ground on Monday night which put me behind on comments and I still haven’t been able to catch up.  One highlight for the week was receiving a letter announcing that my daughter had been awarded a nice scholarship.  We both worked really hard getting everything together for this scholarship and it feels really good to be rewarded for the effort. 

Right now, St. Louis is in the middle of a snowstorm so my plans are to stay in and get some reading done. 

Books Added

Recursion by Blake Crouch (NetGalley)
Cowboy, Cross My Heart by Donna Grant (Purchase)
The Passage by Justin Cronin (Audible Freebie)

I added one review book this week.  My first ARC of 2019!  Anyway, the premise of Recursion was just too good not to request.  I had a credit to use on Amazon so I decided to pick up Cowboy, Cross My Heart since I loved the first book from the series.  I love it when something from my wishlist is offered for free.  I was excited when I saw the audiobook for The Passage offered for free on Audible.  http://www.audible.com/passage

I did a little shopping at Book Outlet during their Boxing Day sale.  Take a look at all of the beautiful books I added to my shelves.

    Congratulations on your daughter getting that scholarship! That must be a relief and cause for celebration! Ooh check out that book sale haul! I bet that gave you a book buzz!

  5. Jessica @ a GREAT read

    Congrats for your daughter! That's awesome! And omg, this snow is a killer! Driving home was a nightmare yesterday and I even got to leave a little early. Basically when the whole mess was starting. The lane to get on the highway from my work was backed up two whole stoplights, so I made a quick Uie to go in the opposite direction, though I didn't know where I was going exactly and my GPS took FOREVER to find a signal! But I made it home in under an hour when normally my drive is like 10-15 minutes.

    Nice new reads! Hope you enjoy them all and have a nice reading day on this snowy day!

    My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!

    Have a GREAT day!

    Yay for bagging the scholarship. Stay safe for the storm. I was just checking weather and saw you guys are getting hammered in places. But looks like you got a good stack of books to keep you busy. 🙂

    Congrats on the scholarship! How exciting. What a busy time of year for you guys huh? That's a great book haul and I'm about 350 pages or so into The Passage. I've heard the audiobook is 40+ hours. Good luck!

    YAY for your daughter – that is awesome. Wow look at all those books. I already feel overwhelmed with books after setting up a bunch of posts today. Enjoy! Thanks for letting me know about the Passage. I think I will love it when I can get to it. Have a great week! We're getting cold and rain, maybe freezing rain or snow, so we are going anywhere tomorrow. Anne – Books of My Heart

    I just started reading The Passage and it's interesting although a bit slow for me. I see Undivided there on your haul! Loved that conclusion to the Unwind Dystology! Also, can't wait to read your thoughts on Recursion 🙂

    Congrats on the scholarship! That must be a good feeling! And stay safe with the snow- I heard that Missouri was getting dumped on.

    Recursion looks really good. I loved his last book Dark Matter, and this one sounds amazing too!

    The Hazel Wood! ? I bought a hardcover from Book Outlet last month. I loved the story. The author posted the first page of the sequel galley on Instagram yesterday. I am really excited for it. I hope the cover is as gorgeous as the first one. ?✨

    Yat for the scholarship! Have a wonderful week! ?

  24. Rachel @Waves of Fiction

    It's been pouring at our house, but not complaining because we need the rain here. Congrats on the scholarship! They must feel really good after all the hard work you put into it!

    You got some really great books there! Loved Jenn Bennett's YA!

  25. Olivia's Catastrophe

    'I did a little shopping on book outlet' so many new books! 😀 I hope you enjoy them all. I haven't read any of them myself but I have a few of those titles on my shelves as well. And congratulations to your daughter for being awarded that scholarship!

    Yay that's great news about the scholarship! I saw some photos of the snow storm in St. Louis, it didn't look like fun.
