Stacking The Shelves #24

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  Go their blog to see the complete list for all the blogs that do this post (there's usually around 100 blogs!).  It is a lot of fun to blog hop and see what's trending in books!


I am finally feeling back to normal after being sick for weeks!  It was a rather slow week in reading (only two books), but I did get a lot of blogging done!!  After last week's tremendous book haul, I only have a few new acquisitions.  But I have such a backlog of books, I am not unhappy about his week's light load.  

I have this coming week off (Whoo hoo!!!) and I plan on reading as much as I can.

Each book cover is linked to GoodReads, if you want more information.

Read This Week:

I loved The Storyteller, by Jodi Picoult.  It has so many layers and nuances to it.  I will be posting a review of this soon, but I must say that any book strong enough to make me cry is going to get lots of stars from me.  I do not cry easily.

Borrowed From A Friend:

I don't know much about this book, but my co-worker recommended it to me and I trust her judgement in these matters.  She is the one who got me to read The Nightingale, By Kristin Hannah, which was amazing!

Bought - Kindle:

I loved the first Aurora Sky novel so much I bought the next one!  I am really looking forward to this book!

I also went on a buying spree on Amazon and pre-ordered a bunch of books that are coming out soon.  There are so many books coming out in April & May, many on the same day!

 What books did you get that you are itching to get to?  Let me know in the comments.

  1. Ooooh Jodi Picoult. I love her books but I haven't read The Storyteller yet. I bet it's going to be amazing though! :)

    Happy Reading!

  2. Hi Stephanie! Yes, The Storyteller was a 5 star book! Very tough , at times, due to the subject matter (The Holocaust) but ultimately, very satisfying.

  4. I'm glad you're feeling a lot better-there is nothing as bad as feeling horrible for an extended period of time. It's good that you feel better in time for a break and I hope you get lots of reading done!

  22. At least you're not sick on your week off! Lots of reading! *throws confetti* I keep seeing Dorothy Must Die and I don't know why, it's not that appealing to me. Maybe in the future. I hope you enjoy!
