I am combining two great blog hops: Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer). Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about. I really enjoy seeing everyone's version of these features! All book covers are linked to Goodreads, if you want to check them out. If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription. If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back!
On The Blog:
Monday: ARC Review: The Little Shop of Found Things by Paula Brackston
Tuesday: ARC Review: The Spy With The Red Balloon by Katherine Locke
In Real Life:
I've been trying to eat healthier and get more sleep. While I have lost weight by cutting out carbs, I don't know how sustainable eating no rice or pasta is for me. But, my goal for this health journey is to prevent diabetes, so I am highly motivated to get my weight down. But honestly, I am crabby right now!
Thankfully I acquired several wonderful books in the last two weeks to take my mind off of food. I have gotten back into the joy of reading.
I've also been able to go to some wonderful outings with my friends and my daughter in the past two weeks. Besides a fun book event, I also went to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to see the Magritte exhibit. It was so great to visit with a group of friends (and my teenager), and view stunning works of art.

I was so fortunate to attend a book event for Victoria Schwab!!! I went the extra mile and bought her a travel sized bottle of whiskey and some dark chocolate, which she seemed to appreciate. I read Vicious a long time ago (from the library) so I wanted to get both books and have her sign them.
That's it for this week. I hope you have a wonderful week of reading ahead.
Oh nice! It's always a great week when you get to meet an author! I've got an author signing tonight that I am excited about! Hope you enjoy all your lovely new reads!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

I love author events! Most of the real big signings take place in the South Bay near San Jose. That's a bit far for me, so I felt very fortunate that this was in Berkeley. I hope you enjoy your event.
ReplyDeleteI love Author events! I'm so jealous you got to meet her! Being International we don't get as many Authors come through.
ReplyDeleteI've also received my Collector's edition of Vicious this week, and received the numbered, signed with limited edition covers of Vengeful from my Illumicrate box. Can't wait to read it 😁
