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: None.
Library: My library hold for Chautona's book came in and I happened upon the one on Anne of Green Gables while I was grabbing books for the kids I nanny.
Kindle Freebies: None.
Book Mail: None 😢
Bought: None.
Other updates:
I took some books off my TBR list that I am no longer interested in. I also realized that books from a particular author I had on my physical shelves had words in them that I did not want to read, so I have cleared 3 books off my physical shelves as well, plus 2 I read and didn't enjoy. I finished 4 books again this week.

Anne of Green Gables is my favorite series from my childhood. My friend Amy and I used to play Anne of Green Gables at recess in elementary school. I was Anne and she was Diana.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I loved it too, which is why I grabbed this book :)
DeleteI am definitely getting this one for Eleanor. I can't wait for her to start reading my old dog-earred copies of the whole series!
DeleteSarah, that is super fun!! I hope she enjoys them as much as you did!
DeleteSadly, I am having to clear my shelves even more now that the basement will be an office. That means taking my beloved books to used book stores and library sales, etc. Since I read mostly library or ebooks these days, I should let them go gently into that good night. Oh, well....Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteOh Harvee, that makes me sad too!! I am so sorry! I hope you have a good week as well.
DeleteLove Anne of Green Gables! I hope you enjoy both of these books when you get the chance to read them. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodie!
DeleteHow did such objectionable books make it onto your shelves in the first place? I thought adults could manage to read bad words without horror, if they were in an intellectually good place. You should tell us what books you are so offended by.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mae, curse words are triggering to me, even mild ones. I try to avoid them as often as I can. I have heard wonderful things about the author, and I am sure her books are fine, they are just not for me.
DeleteOh no, I hope your son's feeling better. Anne of Green Gables seems like a series that has been beloved by many people growing up! I never read them but kind of wish I had!
ReplyDeleteGreg, thanks. It's never too late to read Anne of Green Gables, but I do wonder if I would get the same enjoyment as an adult?!
DeleteI like how you cleared off books you are no longer interested in reading. That is my plan for the books in my TBR Challenge at the end of the year---if they are unread and I don't feel interested in reading them in the near future, then off they will go.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to read and relax this week. And, hopefully, your son will feel better soon.
Thanks Deb.
DeleteI love Anne of Green Gables. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your son is feeling better!
I love your plan of doing nothing - that is sort of my plan too!!
Erin, sometimes we just need those days, LOL! I am going into another long week, with travel, so I am resting while I can.
DeleteI often go through my Goodreads shelves and remove books I no longer want to read or those not available at my library. There are too many others to fuss much over the ones which are hard to find. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnne, so true!!
DeleteIt's past time for me to review & edit my extensive TBR list. I think if it's been on my list over 5 years, I'm probably not going to get around to it. AND, I'm in the process of trying to read from the 100+ books on my shelves but keep getting distracted by the new release shelf at the library. Well, I guess I'll never run out of reading material!! :) Thanks for the visit....
ReplyDeleteTerrie @ Bookshelf Journeys
Terrie, LOL, the struggle is real. I went in the library yesterday to pick up my hold. I saw the new releases and turned my head away, I have too many books out on loan to grab any that only have a 2 week time frame to read in, LOL!
DeleteI hope you're having a restful weekend and that no one ends up sick!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jinjer.
DeleteI periodically clear my shelves of books that no longer interest me and donate them to the library book sale... usually end up buying another title or two in the process!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, yep, just making room for the new books that will eventually come, LOL!
DeleteI am a book hoarder through and through but I admire your efforts to curate your shelves.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week.
LOL, I used to be, but we have moved too often for that. Now, i try to pass on the ones I will not read again so someone else can enjoy them.
DeleteI hope your son is feeling better. Big plans to do nothing sounds like my kind of weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteMeezan, mine too, LOL!
