Stacking The Shelves #147 & Sunday Post #111



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!


In Real Life: 
The time seems to be flying by as we prepare for my daughter's graduation.  SHE is doing great, with her two AP classes essentially finished.  I am starting to realize I have so much to do!  But I am really happy for her.  She and her friends have worked so hard.

On The Blog:
I was really fortunate to have received an e-book ARC, and an audio ARC of Aurora Rising, by the dynamic duo of Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.  As expected, I loved it!    I also reviewed a historical fiction called Blackberry and Wild Rose by Sonia Velton.  So good.  Click on the covers to see my reviews:

New Books:
I actually bought some books this week!  I have found Book Outlet to have really great pricing, and the quality of the books (overstocks and returns from stores) to be fine.  Here's what I got (spending about $40!):

As usual, all these wonderful books came in all at once!  Now I'm scrambling to read as fast as possible.  But what a dilemma!  So many wonderful books.

For all the Moms out there, have a great Mother's Day (hopefully relaxing with a book!).
