Hey
bookish friends! How are things going for you? I am supposed to be at the lake with my family and youth group today, but I have another stinkin' viral infection. The doctor said I could go if I wore a mask whole time. Not thanks, that is not fun in this heat.
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,

Shelves meme is hosted at Reading Reality.

Library:
The Peter Swanson book is our book club book for July. I had Finding My People on reserve for three months and it came in this week. I am supposed to be reading my own books, which I will be, but I wasn't going to pass on this opportunity either 😉
Kindle Freebies:
Bought:
None.
Other updates:
I added 11 books to my Goodreads shelf this week.
I finished 8 books
this week, several I had been reading for several weeks. I still need to post the review for 2 of them, but one I can't post until later in the month, the blog tour date got moved.
Are you joining in the 20 books of Summer Challenge? I am and hope you will as well, you can see my post here.
My May reading wrap-up is here.
Also, personal updates that I share once a month on my family blog are here if you are interested.
I am also linking up with the Sunday Post. The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted at Caffeinated Reviewer. I will also be joining Deb at Readerbuzz for the Sunday Salon.
What
books have you added to your physical or virtual bookshelves? I would
love to hear from you. Click on the icons below to join in on the fun. Have a great weekend!
I hope you enjoy Eight Perfect Murders, Cindy. It was not my favourite of his books. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteUgh, Carla, I hope I do too! I have not read him before but it did sound interesting, and it's for book club so I will give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSounds as if you will be reading busily! I'm on a reading slump at the moment. Finding so much else to do. The book about Mr.Darcy wouldn't make my list: I'm a Jane Austen purist. I like to reread her books but never read modern travesties.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, LOL, I didn't love some of Jane Austin's works, but am willing to try other stuff, don't hate me, LOL!
DeleteSorry you are suffering with another viral infection. There are plenty going around. I love looking at 20 Books of Summer lists. Looks like you have some good reading ahead of you. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gretchen. It could definitely be worse, on the bright side I have had plenty of time to catch up on some reading/blogging!
DeleteOh no- sorry to hear about the infection! Hope you still have a good weekend in spite of that. Your books look fun- I especially like the look of that thriller!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. Making the most of a slower pace.
DeleteThat’s really cool – a cozy mystery based on a puzzle! I’ve not seen one like that before! Yes! Once those “on hold” books come in they shoot straight to the top of the list!
ReplyDeleteI saw the mystery on someone else's Net Galley book haul last week and I HAD to try for it, and got it :) Yes, if I can squeeze the holds in with my other obligations, I will :)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon. I've heard Marrying Mr. Darcy is very good. I hope you enjoy all these books!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy!
DeleteNice list of books! This is my first week at Stacking the Shelves (and I'll be joining the Sunday Salon/Post with a different post too). I've noticed that many bloggers write one post for all the memes - since I'm new this week, it didn't occur to me to do that but it seems like an efficient way to go. my stacking shelves post this week: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/TBR-may-2022
ReplyDeleteYes, as you can see from my #'s at the top I didn't start them all on the same week ;)
DeleteI am jealous of your copy of 8 Perfect Murders! I love Peter Swanson.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are not feeling well, I'm rather under the weather myself today. Stomach bug or something.
Have a good week and take care or yourself!

Yes, 8 Perfect Murders came from the Library, they have book club kits where we get 10 books in the kit :) I am sorry you are not feeling well either, I hope you are feeling better soon.
DeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat haul Cindy! I’m sorry your not feeling well and hope you’re healthy again soon. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodie!
DeleteI'll be interested to see what you think of Eight Perfect Murders. I have a hold on that book. Just finished Swan's book Nine Lives and I loved it so, that's what led me to request another of his. If I lived near you I'd ask if I could join your bookclub!
ReplyDeleteIf you lived close, Tina, we would love to have you! Right now there are four of us who meet regularly, but with the library kits we can easily have 10. I have a few who have said they are interested but haven't come to a meeting yet. I have not read Swanson yet, but I am hearing mixed things.
DeleteI’m sorry to hear you are unwell, I hope you recover quickly.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Eight Perfect Murders, I hope you do too
Wishing you a great reading week
Thanks so much, I hope we enjoy it as well.
DeleteI got Marrying Mr. Darcy this week too! Find Your People looks good. Have a great week!

Thanks Lisa, you as well!
DeleteI loved Eight Perfect Murders...and I'm curious about Missing Pieces. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you too!
DeleteThe cover of Missing Pieces is too cute!
ReplyDelete"I had Finding My People on reserve for three months and it came in this week. I am supposed to be reading my own books, which I will be, but I wasn't going to pass on this opportunity either." -- Yah, no. You can't pass on those kinds of opportunities.
So sorry you're sick and missing out on all the fun. :-(
I know, when I saw it, I had too have a chance to read it! My books will always be there, right?? Yeah, I hate to be sick but it was a bad weekend as I missed stuff each day, but hopefully will be out and about again soon.
DeleteI'm sorry you're sick and you're missing out on the fun. :( I wouldn't have gone either. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenni!
DeleteI enjoy Pride and Prejudice re-imaginings. I hope Marrying Mr. Darcy is a good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, me too!
DeleteFrustrating to have a viral infection that necessitates wearing a mask in the heat of summer. I hope it passes quickly.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to find our people, I think. I've found mine here in the book blogosphere.
Deb, yes, I'm not hanging outside in a mask. I also feel I have found my people in the blogosphere but do wish I could find some people that live close to me as well, LOL! I do get lonely at times. I have great friends, just none that live near me.
DeleteYour books look really good. The Missing Pieces has my attention. I'm going to have to look for that one. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, if you are on Net Galley try and grab it! I am looking forward to it!
DeleteEight Perfect Murders sounds like it might be a good read for summer. I am impressed at reading eight books in one week. I read more than that but most of the books where children's books. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnne, only because several had been started in weeks prior, and I traveled last weekend so was able to listen to 2 audiobooks!
DeleteSo sorry to hear you're missing out on a trip to the lake. Hopefully you can get some reading done instead. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteSo sorry about the infection! I agree about not wanting to wear a mask all day outside in the heat! I don't mind them so much in the winter but it's tough when it's really hot. I hope you enjoy your new books and have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteFind Your People sounds interesting. That's something I struggle with as a shy introvert who is, improbably, drawn to people who are even more shy and introverted.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon and congratulations on a successful home school career! Oh, and I hope you get the job!
Thanks Jen, I appreciate the encouragement. I found out today I did not get the job, a bit crushed, but I will find something else. I really struggle with finding my people too and hope the book will help.
DeleteYour new books look great. I especially love the look of Eight Perfect Murders. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen!
