Stacking the Shelves

Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks! The meme is now hosted by Reading Reality.


Well it was another week. It started out fine. Monday I woke up with a sore throat but thought, okay, hopefully nothing more will come of it. I went to a signing that night and it was fun. Then of course, Tuesday I woke up with a cold. Guessing I got it from my excursion to the mall the previous weekend as I went to Build a Bear with my niece and then was watching her play on the playground in the mall surrounded by tons of children. So yeah, pretty sure that's where the cold came from! The rest of the week was a blur...a sickness endured blur. I was incapacitated for the rest of the week. Friday when I got off early I had hoped to read some but found myself falling asleep and I gave in eventually and took a wee nap. My reading suffered greatly this week and it brought me to tears. Otherwise there's not much else to note.


Here's what I got this week:




The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor
Rebel Witch by Kristen Ciccarelli--
SIGNED



Then I got my Fairy Loot book for this month. This was a book I was curious about so I decided to get it, but I have to say I was pretty disappointed with the cover jacket appearance of the book. It was just very plain and meh. I feel like this isn't up to Fairy Loot's usual standards. 




That was it for me this week! This was the second week in row where my B&N order came on a Friday! I don't know what's happening but I like it! I feel like this can't last long though! Getting my preorders the week they release? I feel like when a signing comes up and I am depending on them to deliver on time, that will be the time it won't show up until the following week...after the signing!

What all did you get this week?

CHALLENGE 1: 2025 Discussion Challenge





Only 4 discussions this month, which isn't too bad. February was rough! I couldn't think of things to discuss as often! That I fell 1 short of last month's amount was amazing though! I'm currently at 9/25 of my goal!
