Stacking The Shelves #151 & Sunday Post # 115




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 Last Week:
I reviewed two new books, both of which were great but for very different reasons.  Paris, 7am, is about the young adult life of poet Elizabeth Bishop.  I found it to be both beautifully written, and a sobering reminder of what gay people endured during the 1930's.  

Happily and Madly is a YA Thriller that had me staying up late to finish it.  I couldn't put it down.  Below are links for my reviews.

In "Real Life":
School ended and I began my search to find a job that would be year-round (not getting paid in the summer has been challenging).  With the encouragement of my husband and my brother, I updated my LinkedIn profile and started applying to jobs.   I also had an interview and...

I will be working at our school district's office!  I am so grateful to be able to work with wonderful people in a setting where I am valued.

You know I had to celebrate after getting that job offer, right?

  No new ARCs this week.  I am furiously trying to read the ones I already have.  I feel the need to read all ARCs before rewarding myself with books for my own amusement.  

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
