Stacking The Shelves #44 & Sunday Post #7


I am combining two wonderful features:  Stacking The Shelves (hosted by Team Tynga's Reviews) and Sunday Post (hosted by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer).  Both of these features allow people to blog hop to dozens of exciting book blogs to see what books people acquired and what the buzz around the web is in the world of publishing.  

If you like my blog, please consider following it or subscribing to my email list.  Just let me know you are a new subscriber in the comments along with how you are following me (Bloglovin, email, GFC, or Networked Blogs), and I will follow you back.

As always, all book covers are linked to GoodReads, so if you find a book that you want to know more about, just click away...


This is my final week of vacation and I am reading and writing reviews at a break-neck pace (for me).  I had to work one day this week and I have been getting up early in preparation for school to begin.  While coffee is helping, I have a hard time getting up early.  But, I am excited to see my colleagues and the kids next week!
 
Read This Week:

Wow, these were some amazing reads this week!  I will be coming out with reviews of these books soon, but both The Cat King Of Havana and Tell Me Something Real were amazing! 

From NetGalley:

I am so happy that I got these approvals this week.  I especially looking forwards to reading The Bone Witch.  

For Blog Tours:

This was an incredible book!  There is music, travel, cyber-intrigue, and family drama.  I can't wait to share my review of this book.  
 
 From The Library:

Americanah is a book I am reading for the African Literature Book Club on GoodReads.  I had to wait a while to get the book from the library, but it was worth it.  I'm about 25% into it and it is really beautiful.  Rick Riodan's The Trials of Apollo is another fun book by the master of middle-grade fiction. 


 Bought:

My rest of my order from Book Depository finally arrived and I couldn't be more pleased.  I now have the complete four book set of the Clara Vine series.  I just need to make the time to read this series.  Oh, the dilemma! 
 
 Freebies for Kindle:

    1. yes, The Bone Witch looks fun! I am currently trying to hurry up and read a bunch of books before school starts. Once I start work, I will be lucky to read two books a week! So it may be a while before I can get to The Bone Witch. Have a good week.

  4. I have a Book Depository order which I hope arrives next week as well. I've been really bad about grabbing some books from there that I can't find in the US. I am also excited to read The Bone Witch. Great haul this week and hope you love them.

    1. Book Depository is the only place that I could find the Jane Thynne books, so I have no guilt in ordering these books! Although I will NOW be on a book buying ban ("sure", she says)...
