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.
NetGalley (I broke and requested 4 books this week, I got these 2 lovelies and am waiting on a response for the other 2):
Library (I broke here too because I am getting some mild anxiety thinking of a new library and not knowing if they will have a good selection or not!):
Kindle Freebies: none
Kindle Unlimited (I needed this one for one of my challenges):
Book Mail: none
Bought: (as if I didn't have enough books to pack up 😂) I got really good prices though because I got them at Goodwill
Other updates:
I finished 6 books this week (I decided to read several novellas that I needed for my challenges, and used it to give me a boost, to feel like I am accomplishing something other than packing, LOL) and DNF 2. I still need
to post the review for 3 of them (hopefully tomorrow and Monday).
What you might have missed on the blog this week:

I always get in a lot of books from the library, but I don't feel guilt about them. I don't do any review books that are only e-books as I don't think I (probably just me) get the real experience of a book in e-book format. I did go crazy and visit six nearby libraries and their stores a few days ago...I came home with more than a hundred books, but those are for my Little Free Library and I only spent $30 or so.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are able to find a house you like soon, Cindy! Sending you some good house-hunting vibes.
Deb, I prefer the paperback experience too, not e-books, a lot of time the format is funky, which is a turn off! Thank you for the good house hunting vibes, I appreciate it! That's awesome that you were able to get so many books for your free libraries, at a great deal! Even better that it supports your local libraries as well. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI hope you like the new library. I have been reading ebooks from NetGalley and ignoring the library books I have. Luckily, I have the ebook and library book of the same title, so...no excuses not to get to that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Harvee!
DeleteGood luck with the house hunting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark!
DeleteThe number of books seems nearly infinite. I read a lot, but haven’t heard of your selections, mostly. I am really habituated to kindle books by now. Just an occasional printed book.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I agree, SO many books! I do like Kindle books but I STILL prefer to hold a physical book. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI have Authentically, Izzy. I requested it because you said the author is excellent. I hope we both enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWendy, I hope you agree with my assessment after you read it :) I do love everything I have read by her and have high hopes for this one!
DeleteGood luck finding a house, and with the packing!
ReplyDeleteThe cover for Every Secret Thing is so pretty.
Thanks Marg!
DeleteGood luck with the house-hunting - and enjoy the reading, those look like some fun books
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassie!
DeleteA good selection of books. I hope you have a successful house hunt! Fingers crossed that you find somewhere with a good library! My son still has another week at school then he is off 😊
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Thanks Emily! I hope you enjoy the time with your son when he is off!
DeleteLooks like some good reading in your future - good luck with your house hunting; that's always a stressful task along with the whole packing thing.

Thanks Terrie!
DeleteHere's to a successful house hunting experience, Cindy. A nice haul this week. I am looking forward to Authentically Izzy and hope we both enjoy it. I'm sure wherever you end up, you will find a great library and maybe even a good used bookstore. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla!
DeleteGood luck house hunting! that can be fun. Lots of books in your lineup :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina! Yes, quite a haul this week!
DeleteA busy book week for you! I also can't resist the library, but I don't fret too much about those ones because if I don't have time to read them I can just borrow them again later. Good luck with your house hunting! ♥️
ReplyDeleteSo true! Thank you!
DeleteGood luck with the house hunting! I hope you find a perfect place. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg!
DeleteAwesome haul! Good luck on the house hunting! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara!
DeleteI moved from MN to NC. The Wake County library in NC is not good. The one in Durham NC is much better. MN was better, my brother's library in FL is better. You can search your new area's library and check out the catalog even if you don't have a card yet. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks Anne! I am currently in Union County, NC and they are really good about getting the books I request and I love them!! They are building a huge new library in Waxhaw.
DeleteGood luck with finding a house! I hope you find one quickly so you can enjoy the rest of your daughter's break. Thanks for stopping by! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenni! Have a great week!
DeleteThanks Vicki!
ReplyDeleteI also broke and requested and bought a few!
ReplyDeleteSarita, sometimes we just need to, LOL!
DeleteWe take out stacks from the library when we go! Lol. I like to have a selection.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your new library will be wonderful too!
Thanks Erin, I hope so!
DeleteI hope you had great success house hunting!!!
ReplyDeleteJinjer, it was hard but we did find a house and have the offer accepted!
