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.

Another ugh week. It was only 4 days so that helped, but then a lot of people at work took off so we were short staffed a few days which just ended up being crazy naturally! Our busy season is fast on the horizon, so not really looking forward to that, but it is what it is. We're a good team, so it'll be okay, but work has just been crazy lately as it feels like the people we help on the regular have forgotten all of the processes we have put into place the last 2-3 years! So it's been nuts in some sense! I did attend a signing this week to see Rachel Moore! I read one of her YA books and liked it enough that I wanted to meet her. Plus her new adult rom-com thriller sounded entertaining, so I splurged on that! It wasn't too bad a of a week all in all.

Here's what I picked up this week:

A Curse of Beasts and Magic by Jeaniene Frost--keeper copy!
The Astral Library by Kate Quinn--so for B&N's big Memorial Day sale I bought this one and the next book in the row!
Thistlemarsh by Moorea Corrigan--this was the second book I picked up at the B&N sale! It came out last month and I somehow missed it! It sounds sooo intriguing and I loved just finding it on my own at the store as it reminded me of those early days of searching the shelves for a new book to read and finding one based on a captivating cover or title!
A Shadow in the Reaping by Brynne Weaver--I liked her bloody thrillers enough that I wanted to see her take on paranormal romance. So we'll see how this goes! Lol.
Safari Murder Party by Rachel Moore--SIGNED!

Then here's the fun swag I got from the Rachel Moore signing:

a bookmark and a postcard map of the island the book takes place on

Then on my trip to B&N I impulse purchased this throw...I keep wanting to find a nice lightweight blanket for those summer days where the AC is perfectly chilled and I just want a little bit of coverage on top of me as I read and this one was so pretty I had to buy it! I still need to open it, but since I am still fruitlessly house-hunting I decided to keep it intact.

And then I was eligible for my free tote from B&N and I thought their newest color was fresh and fun looking so I decided to get that. Although I really keep hoping they'll make a new design as I've like 4 other colors of this same one. I like the colors for sure, but a new design would be nicer. Maybe next year.

I had to use their image from the website as my picture turned out orange. My camera did not want to truly capture it's pink-peachy color which is so fun for summer I feel like. lol. So this is the best I can do even though it's not even perfect either.

And that was it for me this week! What all did you get?
