stacking the shelves #5 (and a visit to starbucks…)

Stacking the Shelves in a book meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews. It’s all about sharing the books you’ve read/gotten this week, virtual or physical. This week, I read two historical fictions (both I loved!) and two YA Contemporary that have been on my TBR for awhile. Actually, yesterday – Friday – I posted this thinking it was Saturday!! I was slightly confuzzled… I couldn’t find any other bloggers’ STS. Then I looked at my calendar and remembered it was Friday. Silly me! đŸ˜€

The first one I read, Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana De Rosnay,was… incredible. It made me cry more than once. I was really impressed with it =) The Red Umbrella, by Christina Diaz Gonzales, was okay. It was MG, which is fantastic, but I thought the the plot and conclusion was kind of cut short. It could have gone on a bit longer, in my opinion, but I still enjoyed it.

I’m currently reading To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, by Jenny Han, (on my Kindle) and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t at all what I had expected it to be. But I really like it thus far =) I also bought The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr yesterday morning, and I’m going to take it with me to summer camp next week, after I finish the one I’m currently reading.

So, on a random note, when my mom and I went to Barnes & Noble Friday morning, we also stopped at Starbucks!! I’ve recently discovered the Starbucks Secret Menu, and decided to try the cotton candy frappuccino – which is a Vanilla Bean frap with rasberry syrup. I just showed the barista the recipe on my phone and she said “Oh, sure!” I was slightly surprised at how easy it was to order it – but it was delicious!! Next time I want to try the cookie dough kind…

Until tomorrow! I’m going to be making a post and nominating some fabulous bloggers for my second Liebster award =)

  1. I really want to read Sarah’s Key after I finish the stack of books that I am currently working through right now. I haven’t had much time to read what with the school year coming to a close, but once summer vacation starts, I should have more time to read. I’m looking forward to a summer full of books!

    1. Oh, I hope you do! I had the same problem, but I got out the third week in May, so it’s already summer vacation (and has been!) for a while now for me đŸ˜‰
