Stacking the Shelves & Week(s) in Review 12/20/14


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's all about sharing what I've added to my shelves this week whether it be physical books or eBooks purchased, books won, ARCs from publishers or eARCs from Edelweiss and NetGalley.


Aaaaaargh! Last week and the week ahead are the two craziest weeks of the year. I'm working longer hours, I have tons of shopping and wrapping to do, family is coming in from out of town and of course, it's Christmas time. I also woke up Friday morning with a cold. I feel like such a busy mess! I'm trying to read, review and post as much as I can, but I feel like I'm failing miserably. I didn't post a Stacking the Shelves last week because I didn't buy anything and there was nothing from Edelweiss or NetGalley. Nothing. Seriously. I did post two reviews, so I'll include links to them in this post. This past week was a little better for stacking my shelves. Unfortunately, I was so busy (or I fell asleep because I was so exhausted) that I didn't get any reviews posted... that has never happened! I hope I get this post finished before I pass out. Since it's now after 2am, I'm sleepy and I can't breathe through my nose, I'm going to post this without Goodreads links to all the books. I normally put them in, but I just can't do it right now. I'll get to it, I guess...zzzzz..... no....I can stay awake.....

  5. I just recently listened to The Madman's Daughter on audio and I really enjoyed it. Just bought the second book. I've been dying to read Loop. I love time travel. Great Edelweiss haul! I want The Summer of Chasing Mermaids, After Hours, and Last Year's Mistake! I haven't been requesting any though because I get behind and don't review in time and it stresses me out. LOL Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Reading & Happy Holidays!
