*Stacking the Shelves* 11 November 2017


(Titles link to Amazon via Amazon Affiliate links)

Stacking The Shelves is a feature/weekly meme created by Tynga’s Reviews in which you share the books you are adding to your shelves, both physical and virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical stores or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

So I mentioned last week that I'm making some changes to this post because of our upcoming trans-Atlantic move. I'm currently banned from visiting the thrift store, which means I'm not adding nearly as many books to my collection anymore. But I have a one-click addiction, so I'm going to start focusing on my new ebooks which I've largely ignored these past few months. 

On that note, here are the books I picked up this week.

New Hire by Veronica Victorian - I learned about this book in the Queer In Color grand opening event on Facebook. It sounded really interesting, and for just 99 cents, I decided I couldn't pass it up. 
Precious Bones by Irina Shapiro - I was able to get this one for free (no longer free). But I already had it in audio, so I'll probably be able to get it reviewed sooner than otherwise expected.
Kissing Tolstoy by Penny Reid - I just can't resist a new Penny Reid book, so I had to buy this one on release day.
Real Friends by Shannon Hale - I won an ebook copy of this on Goodreads, but because it's the kindle version that they giveaway, it qualifies as an order.
The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See - This is another ebook win from Goodreads. Not going to lie, I really like how my reviews on these wins count as verified reviews on Amazon.
Sweet Hollow Women by Holly Tierney-Bedord - I got this one for free (maybe still free). I don't remember why I got this one, but it might be because I saw the author share the promotion on Facebook.

So that's all the ebooks I've added to my collection this past week while still managing to avoid stopping in at the thrift store. I'm not sure how much longer my willpower will last though.

So what books have you added to your shelves this week? - Katie

    1. Well the good news is that other people will be packing up all my books and hauling them for me, the bad news is that getting that arranged is stressing my husband out, which is stressing me out.

      And it is so hard to not go to the thrift store. I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

      And I'm so happy to have you on board for the Christmas Challenge! Thanks for joining! - Katie

    1. Yes. That's nice too, except when I forget that I won a kindle book and don't remember buying the book either, so then I wonder where the book came from for a bit. :)

      Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
