Stacking the Shelves #191 Sunday Post #188 Sunday Salon #182

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was long. More work and appointments this week. I ended up going to bed early every night, I am just completely wiped out. I am SO thankful it is the weekend!! I am not sure what we are doing, and that is okay. I will take it as it comes. I am hoping that time change doesn't mess us up too badly, LOL!

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.

Net Galley: None

Library Treasures: None

Hoopla: 

 
I am currently listening to Five Stolen Rings, then will listen to Christmas Baggage.

Bought: Bought with my FETCH points!

 
I LOVED Waiting for Gilbert when I read it last year. I immediately wanted to reread it. Well, now I can since I bought a copy! I can't wait to reread it before diving into Planning for Nickie. Edited to add: I just found out the ebook for Waiting for Gilbert is $1.99 on Amazon this month if you are interested in it 😀

Book Mail: None (except what I just mentioned above)

Kindle FreebiesNone

Other updates:

I finished 3 books this week, two physical and one audio. I am currently caught up on reviews. I have a few more ARCs to finish, and then I plan to start on that stack of library books I have checked out.

My other blog if you are interested.

  3. Great to find out what you've been reading and such a big Blue Jays fan. I’m trying not to hurry the season and read "Plant You," a cookbook review to get ideas for Thanksgiving here in the U.S. Visiting you from Sunday Salon and wish you a lovely weekend. Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health.

  12. My week was pretty productive probably due to fewer doctor appointments! LOL! I'm glad you went to bed early, it takes time to recover from an illness. It sounds like you have some romantic Christmas reads in your future!

  19. I am jealous that you are caught up on your reviews. I counted today and think I'm six to eight behind. Sigh. I always put them off thinking I will find the energy or interest to write them tomorrow.
