Stacking the Shelves #180 Sunday Post #177 Sunday Salon #171

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? I did a lot of relaxing last weekend, and walking (almost 6 miles), so I did not get any packing done, oops. But, I did get some done on Tuesday. On Wednesday the contract on our house fell through, so it is back on the market again. We had two showings last night (Friday), and we will see what the weekend brings. While our house was being shown my husband and I went to Barnes and Noble 😁. On my agenda this weekend is some packing, my daughter is coming home to spend the night this afternoon, and will leave first thing tomorrow, more relaxing, hopefully some walking...

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.

Johnny Tremain is our book club pick for August.
  

Bought: The three romcoms I have already read, but wanted for my keeper shelf, so I bought them at Barnes and Noble last night.

 
 

Book Mail: None 

Other updates:

I finished two books this week and DNF'd one. I also did an update on my family blog this week as well.

    That is some good walking you got in, I'm trying to get more walk time in too. So sorry to hear about that contract falling thorough. Will you keep it on the market or take a break and try again in a few months? Fingers crossed for you.

      Tina, we will keep it on the market. I am listening to audiobooks when I walk and it helps keep me going.

    I bought Some Like it Scot, too. Such a fun romance. I'm sorry your contract fell through. Hopefully the showings this weekend go really well! And good luck with the packing.

    How disappointing that the offer on the house fell through. Let’s hope next time there are no subjects. Have a wonderful week ahead Cindy.

    Johnny Tremain was a book that I read as a kid, repeatedly, because I owned a copy. It gave me a good grounding in American history.

      Joy, another lady in our book club read it as a child and loved it, so here we are.

    I love browsing in B and N bookstore and trying hard not to buy too many books! Enjoy your new purchases.

    A good load of books. Sorry that the house fell through. The house buying process is so stressful!

    Have a good week ahead! I hope that you manage to sell your house soon.
