I’ve got so many books on my hands! Today, I’m linking up with Stacking the Shelves, where I show you all the books I’ve acquired this week – be it virtual or physical!
Sometimes, I don’t know which is better – having no books at all, or the stress of having too many books. But hey, lots of books count for a good stacking the shelves. (And I love doing these posts!) I’ve also got some polls at the end of this post, so keep reading!
the books i got this week
Here’s the stack for this week. Three of them are school required reading, but I’m excited to be reading all of them!
- Defeating Darwinism by Phillip E. Johnson: School-required, but still ecstatic to read it!
- The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest by Melanie Dickerson: I won this in a giveaway on Goodreads, and I’m super excited to be reading Melanie Dickerson’s new book. (I’ve reviewed The Captive Maiden and The Princess Spy; go check them out!) It sounds a lot like Dauntless by Dina L. Sleiman, but I can’t wait to see how it goes.
- The Phantom Tollbooth: School-required – I’ve been meaning to read it for sooo long! Glad I’m going to finally get to it!
- The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom: Another school book that I’ve wanted to read for a while, especially because a lot of my blogger-friends love the book so much. I know for sure this one’s going to be a favorite.
Which book should I read next?? (I’ve got a handy-dandy poll for you here.)
the books i read this week
- Chasing the Milky Way by Erin E. Moulton – there is some language in this book, which I did not like. However, I gave it four stars, and I’ll be having Miss Moulton over for an interview soon!
- Finding Ruby Starling by Karen Rivers – OMG, I LOVED THIS BOOK. Ahem. Excuse me. SERIOUSLY THOUGH FIVE STARS. Ahhhh it was just so cute!
- The Romeo and Juliet Code by Phoebe Stone – the cover is SO misleading. It was not what I was expecting, but nevertheless, I loved it, and give it five stars.
i want to hear from you!
I’ve got some questions for you all regarding For the Bookish! I need your advice, so go here to help me out with that.
Sorry this is a bit of a short post – hopefully I can make that up next week. 😉 I can’t wait to hear from you all in the polls and in the comments! Happy weekend!
I love the Phantom Tollbooth. I actually read it in one sitting :)!!
My birthday week is coming up! I can’t wait, especially since I know I’m getting a gift card for Barnes & Noble. I really need some new books.
You did? Wow! I bet I’ll like it, too. 😉
Fun, fun, fun! I can’t wait till my next birthday. (Still four months away, but it goes faster than you think!) Let me know what you end up getting!
Ooh. Fun. I did all the polls :). I hope I somewhat helped! Did you get my letter yet? I red the Phantom Toolbooth a few years ago. I remember likinbg it though I thought it was a bit weird. I haven’t gotten much reading doen since we have guests but I am having a lot of baby time :). Tell me if those books are good! Also I have a few books to add to the book list I sent you( I forgot to write them down). Well, the baby is calling!
Good! Thanks. I’m glad I put up some polls. I’m getting a lot of the same answers, which is good.
Yes, I got it! I’ll put it in the mail Tuesday, since the mail doesn’t come on Memorial Day.
Yeah. I haven’t heard much about it, but I still want to read it.
Ooh, you’re so lucky! I wish we lived closer to my aunt and uncle, so I could see Abbie more often. 🙂
I love your book list! There are several books I’ve already read, like Emily Windsnap. 🙂
Hey you won a giveaway on From the Mixed-Up Files! 😀
The Hiding Place is such an amazing book, and it definitely deserves a spot as one of my all time favorites. When I read the book, I was so amazed by Corrie ten Boom’s life. Throughout her whole life, she radiated compassion and bravery and faith, and that helped her through so many obstacles. I guess I’ll just let you find out yourself, but basically her whole life story is beautiful. I need to reread that book soon!
