Stacking the Shelves #33, Sunday Post #30, Sunday Salon #25

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? Things here are pretty good. I have another quiet weekend before traveling again later this week 😊

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! And audiobooks. The Stacking the Shelves meme is hosted at Reading Reality.

You guys, a while back, Kimmie from travelerswife4life, offered to send me Undistracted by Bob Goff. I hemmed and hawed a little bit from this unexpected gift and felt bad about receiving it, so made sure she was sure about her offer, she was! I got the box on Monday with ALL of these lovely books (plus 2 not shown that I already had!). It was such a sweet gesture and totally made my week! Plus, Tuesday was my birthday, so it really did feel like an expected gift!

Katie Powner and Terri Blackstock's books have been on my TBR for a while and I hadn't had a chance to get them, so I was super excited about them as well. I am already reading Undistracted and it is wonderful!

Bought

None. 

Other updates:

I added 9 books to my Goodreads shelf this week. With the ones I have finished, and taken off, I am holding steady at 588 books on that one shelf 😂 I am trying to get it down, but at least it is not over 600 again!

I finished 5 books this week (one was a children's book and one I had been reading for several weeks). I DNF one book. I still need to post two of my reviews. 

I also did another post from our trip if you'd like to pop over and read about it and see the pictures.

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!

  5. What a nice bunch of books you got! I will have to look for Undistracted. I have liked Bob Goff's other books and that one sounds interesting. I am also intrigued by In Pieces - I have not heard of it, but looks interesting. Have a good weekend!

  7. that is a huge reading plan! I am unable to use Goodreads because it insists that a person be so organized and forward-looking. You certainly are that! Not me!

  8. I understand about stacking your shelves with books! I've been adding ARCs from NetGalley and gotten approved for so many that I wonder if they realize I'm a slow reader, lol. Have a great reading week.

    1. Harvee, I had to cut back because I felt like all I was doing was reviewing for Net Galley and I am a hard and fast rule follower, so deadlines, LOL. I love Net Galley, but we are on a small break, LOL!

  9. What a lovely box of surprises you received! I've read a couple of Bob Goff books---Love Does and Everybody, Always---and I found both of them to be inspiring. I've just put in a request for the new Goff book. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    I keep a list of books I want to read in a Google Doc, but I don't add them on Goodreads. I don't know why.

    1. Deb, Goodreads is easiest for me...I used to have lists in multiple notebooks and stuff, so it was easier for me to consolidate to one spot! I am sure you will enjoy Undistracted as well, I hope you get it soon.

  15. Happy belated birthday! Another blogger reached out to me on my birthday and offered to send me an extra ARC she had for a book she knows I'm excited to read. Don't you love our thoughtful community?
