Stacking the Shelves #75, Sunday Post #72, Sunday Salon #66

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? Today is my husband's birthday, so we spent the morning going to a bookstore, for a nature walk, and having lunch out. I am still out of routine and trying to catch up on things.

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: None.

Bought:

Other updates:

I finished 2 books this week (low side for me!) and still have to write the review for one of them. I started a Christian/clean reads book club and we had our first meeting on Thursday. It was just a get to know you/talk about expectations type meeting and we had a blast. There were 5 of us, two I knew as acquaintances, so I am looking forward to getting to know them all better. Here are a few pictures that I took before the meeting, I completely forgot to take any of the actual meeting. The book club book (I bought them for each person because I caught a 99 cent sale!) and swag from Susie Finkbeiner for her upcoming book. There was also a literary pencil in each bag 😀

  4. Wow - that's a lot of prep (in a fun way) for a book club group. Hope it works out for you. I haven't belonged to a book club for years but I remember enjoying the variety of books that members suggested. I get that now from my online reading buddies! :)

    1. Terrie, I started the group as a way for social interactions too. We have lived here 6 months and I really haven't made any friends, although I have gotten together with a few ladies. I love books and am excited to start a new group. Thankfully, not every meeting will be labor intensive ;)

  6. How fun! I'm excited about your book club for you and hope it is a big success!

    Happy Birthday to your husband. Your day sounded like the perfect way to celebrate. My husband's birthday is this week. While we both are working the actual day, we'll probably have cake in the evening and then save the celebration for next weekend.

    Have a great week and happy reading!
