Stacking the Shelves #222 Sunday Post #219 Sunday Salon #213

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? I am thrilled to say that we FINALLY found a house and signed a contract last weekend!! It is a new build and should be finished in a few weeks (the couple building it were not able to sell their house). It has been a week of paperwork, trying to process this news, and yes, I have already started packing a few things. The agenda for this weekend is to relax before things get crazy. What are your plans for the 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.

Other updates:

I finished three books and one short story this past week. I also started a new crochet project. It's been a while since I have had the mental capacity to do crafts, so I am thankful that I have started crocheting again. Here is the details of how our new house came about, with a few pictures if you are interested: New house

  4. (I can't seem to log in, but this is Deb Nance at Readerbuzz!) I'm so glad that you found a house. It's been so long since we moved that I'm not sure I know how to pack and prepare. I do remember it being a lovely way to cull.

    1. Deb, yes, we get rid of stuff with every move. When we moved into our rental last year I had gotten rid of over 200 books, some clothes and misc things. I have been getting rid of books all year, recently got rid of more clothes, and I am sure it will continue, LOL!

    1. Becki, I am not the best at the amigurumi type crochet, but I do enjoy trying. I love making blankets, scarves and things of that nature.
