Stacking the Shelves #144, Sunday Post #141, Sunday Salon #135

Hey bookish friends! These past couple of weeks have been busy. I am currently sitting in a hotel in Downer's Grove, Illinois waiting on my husband to get ready so we can head back home. We got here on Wednesday and yesterday was the JustRead Rendezvous event. More than 50 Christian fiction authors were here, with 150+ readers. It was AMAZING and exhausting and I will be devoting an entire post to the event sometime this week. Tomorrow will be church and a whole lot of relaxing. Are you doing anything fun this weekend?

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 Treasures: None, but I have 5 ready for pick up.

Kindle Freebies: None

Bought: I did buy books at this event (how could I not?!) and I got some free book swag, but I will share next week. Between bringing books to be signed by the authors, buying books for me and some for Christmas gifts, and then free swag and giveaways, I need to sort it out.

Book Mail: for review

Other updates:

I finished three books this week. I have not had much time to read since Tuesday. My husband and I went on a hike here in Illinois and I will share a few picks from it. We hiked last Saturday and Monday as well, so it was amazing to be able to get in three hikes this week! Hidden Lake was pretty but there was a lot of road noise.

  3. I smiled at the 5 books to pick up. That happens to me at the library, too. Fortunately, they do give me a little time to get there.
