Hi, everybody! Today’s Stacking the Shelves is a short one, but I’m super-duper excited to read both of these books! (You have no idea!) I’ve heard fantastic things about both of these. I have high expectations. In case you’re not familiar with Stacking the Shelves, it’s all about sharing the books you’ve gotten this week – physical, e-book, from the library, or book store, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.
the stack
There’s the stack! Like I said, pretty short, but I got a lot of books from the library last week that I’m still not through with. Fish in a Tree, by Lynda Mullaly Hunt, has been recommended to me by several of you, including Miss Erin E. Moulton, who I had the pleasure of interviewing last month. And after reading Miss Hunt’s first book, One for the Murphys (which I rated five stars!) I’m sure I love Fish in a Tree. As for Better off Friends, I’ve heard several bloggers say they enjoyed it, and it sounds like a really cute contemporary book. I finally get to cross both of these off my TBR list!
books i read this week
I read three books this week: The Wish by Gail Carson Levine, Rapunzel: The One With All the Hair by Wendy Mass, and Ship of Dolls by Shirley Parenteau. You’ll be getting reviews of both The Wish and Rapunzel this Monday, along with Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. The first two books I read this week were great, but I LOVED Ship of Dolls! It’s based on a little-known true event in 1926 – and the story was incredible! I just happened to find this book in the library, and it was fantastic! I’ll probably be posting this review on the 20th. Keep your eye out for it. 😉
what happened on the blog
- On Monday, I shared pictures with you of my family’s last-minute trip to Florida
- Wednesday, I talked about book slumps – something I’ve been meaning to talk about for a while.
- And on Friday, a wonderful commenter and my favorite pen pal, Brooke, shared some tips for organizing bookshelves
what to look forward to this week
- Not one, not two, but THREE mini reviews this Monday
- The ULTIMATE book tag, which I’ve been tagged to do by Daisy!
- And I’m not sure what’s happening on Friday… I guess I’ll leave you in suspense! 😉
so what exciting things did you do this week? (online or off?) what books have you read/are going to read?
Your so lucky!! I’ve haven’t got any money for books! I’ve only read 3 books in the past 30 days. I can’t wait to read your tag post! I’m sure it’ll be great!
Better off friends is good but there are a couple of things you should be warned about, here’s the link to my review: https://abookishflower.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/book-review-better-off-friends/
If you don’t mind those things then I think you’ll enjoy Better of friends. Just thought I should say something! Bookworm’s gotta help a fellow bookworm out. 🙂
Oh, no! Well, I don’t have much money either – that’s why I rely on the library, or ARC’s. 🙂
Haha, thanks! I’ll either post it on Wednesday or Friday.
Thank you so much for warning me! Yes, we’ve gotta stick together. 😉 I think I can handle it… I did get through that one part. Gross! But it was kind of hilarious, what Macallan called it. Lol!
Yay! Better Off Friends! I really liked the book, but there were some flaws for me. I can’t wait to see what you think.
I just got an idea! I’ll email it to you.
I’m liking it, too! A very fluffy contemporary book. 🙂
I saw your idea and loved it! I just emailed you back.
