*Stacking the Shelves* 9 December 2017

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!

It's week five of my thrift store detox, and I went to my thrift store twice this week (to drop off donations, I didn't actually set foot inside the store, which takes way more willpower than just not going to base in the first place!) I even managed my one-clicking a little bit better this week. There were a few good sales I couldn't pass up, but just a few. 

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

The Twelve Lays of Christmas: Part 1 by Veronica Vixen - I'd already pre-ordered part II so I figured I should go ahead and buy part I. And I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm probably going to need these short reads to achieve Santa Status in the 12 Books of Christmas reading challenge. 
180 Seconds by Jessica Park - I got this audiobook on sale for $2.95 (it was the audible daily deal a few days ago). I know a few of the Platypires really like Jessica Park, so I figured I could give one of her audiobooks a shot for that price. 
Claiming Bailey by Susan Stoker - I snagged this as a freebie (no longer free). I'm not sure where I saw it posted, but I decided I needed it. 
Guardians of Time by Sarah Woodbury - I snagged this book for 99 cents (still 99 cents) because it's set during Christmas time, at least it better be with that Christmas tree on the cover. It's the 11th book in the series, and you're apparently not supposed to read them out of order, but I'm going to anyway because that's how I roll. 
Holiday Spice by Samantha Chase - I snagged this holiday themed read on sale for just $1.99 (no longer on sale). In case you think there's a pattern here, there is. 
The 12 Slays of Christmas by Various Authors - This is a set of 12 holiday themed novels or novellas WITH recipes for just 99 cents. I couldn't pass that up when I found it. 
Eve of the Pharaoh by R.M. Shultz - I got this book as a freebie (no longer free). I don't remember why. 
Earthseed: The Complete Series by Octavia E. Butler - I got this on sale for $1.99 (no longer on sale). There is an author that often shares Ms. Butler's books when they're on sale and I usually one-click based on her recommendations (this one I actually found by checking the Kindle Daily Deals though). 
Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller - I snagged this book on sale for $1.99 (no longer on sale). I actually read an ARC copy of this book and just need to get my review posted, but I've been having trouble putting my feelings for it into words. I liked it enough to go ahead and buy the book on sale though. 
Jacob T. Marley by R. William Bennett - This was the Audible Daily Deal on Thursday and I was able to snag the audiobook for $1.95, which was great because it got me another holiday read in while I was baking cookies this week. Now I've just gotta' get the review written. 

And that is all of the books that I picked up this week. It's a super short list for me because I was exercising restraint, a feat I accomplished by simply not having much time to spend on the computer this week as I spent most of it baking. 

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