Stacking the Shelves #74, Sunday Post #71, Sunday Salon #65

Hey bookish friends! I missed you all last weekend! I unintentionally took a blog hiatus. I was in TN, at my sister's house, and didn't have a moment of free time. I was off the blog for almost a week! I have been home since Tuesday, but I am still trying to catch up on ALL.THE.THINGS. 😂 I am exhausted, but hope to get back into my routines.

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: None.

Kindle Freebies: None.

Book Mail: Won in a Giveway 😀


Bought: 


If you are ever in near Knoxville, TN, I highly recommend McKay's Used Bookstore (they are also in NC and VA). I took some books I no longer wanted, and used the store credit that I was issued and bought the first 5 books, and had a few dollars left that I gave to my mom. The other book and the two crochet magazines I bought new.

Other updates:

My reading has taken a major hit the past two weeks. I have finished 4 books in the last week and a half (one I had been reading for a month). I still need to write the review for one of the books.

What you might have missed on the blog:

Book Review: Dare to Love the Guy Next Door

Book Review: Sold on Love

Book Review: Dare to Love My Fake Husband

First Line Friday #92-Counterfeit Faith

Book Review: Counterfeit Hope

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 just started teaching myself crochet this year - I'm finding it a great thing to do with my hands while I'm watching TV so I don't feel so much like I'm wasting time. :) Hope you enjoy your reading. Those first 4 books look like an interesting series. And the Paper Ghost book recommended by your friend sounds really good - off to take a look. Have a terrific week.

    At least your blog hiatus was for a fun reason! :D And those crochet magazines sure have some fun animals on the cover.

    Henri Nouwan is an author whose books I've always wanted to read. I hope you will report back to us when you read and finish his book. Wait and See sounds interesting, too.

    I haven't taken a blog hiatus since I started blogging, and that will soon be exactly fifteen years ago. Maybe I'll do one to celebrate!

      Deb, I didn't want to do it, but I don't normally get posts up very far in advance and I was expecting to have free time on my trip. I had none at all.

    Travel is great. Glad you got to spend time with your sister, but it's so hard to get caught up once you get home! Happy Memorial Day!
