"Stacking the
Shelves" is a weekly haul meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality. It allows book
buyers to share their accumulation of books with the online book-loving
community.
So, it’s actually
been a really good book week. I finished three books, and, as you’ll see in
this post, I acquired way more than I’ll be able to read in the entire month of
July. But that’s the life of a book hoarder.
As for my life in
general, I’m in kind of a slump. A life slump. Not a book slump. I’m reading
all the things. I’m actually pretty proud of not only the amount of books I’ve
read this month, but with the titles I’ve read this month as well. I’ll talk
about that more in my wrap up (which should go up on Sunday, but no promises).
Basically, I just don’t want to do anything but watch Netflix and read. I feel
like a giant blob. I don’t even feel like going to the gym or blogging. That’s
why I didn’t post anything this past Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
I’m hoping that,
with a few days of rest, I’ll want to get back in the groove of things, but,
only time will tell.
Oh, I also found
out that my office has/had bed bugs. Apparently a couple were spotted on my floor,
and no one thought to email the second floor that the critters were there. The
building managerial people brought in people to take care of it before I knew
it had happened, but I’m so paranoid and grossed out right now. Ick.
But, happier news,
I’m going to see The Incredibles II
on Friday (I’m writing this post Thursday night). I’m also going to the dentist
on Friday, so that kind of balances out the fun. Boo…
Vicious by V.E. Schwab
Allied by Amy Tintera
The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich
City of Lies by Sam Hawke
So Vicious and City of Lies were books I asked a work friend to send me. So,
thanks work friend! The Love Interest was
part of my office’s Pride month book giveaway. They gave away different LGBTQ+
books, and this is the one I grabbed. As for Allied, I bought it at The Strand for $9. Its purchase made me go
over my budget by like forty cents.
Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf
Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills
The Queen Underneath by Stacey Filak
The Supervillain and Me by Danielle Banas
Caraval & Legendary by Stephanie Garber (ARCs)
So the first four
listed were all on my work’s Take Shelves. I was so excited to see some new
hardcover books there. Caraval and Legendary were in a recycling bin full
of ARCs, so I nabbed them, since I don’t have copies and everyone tells me I
should read Caraval.
Now I Rise by Kiersten White
Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios
What?! Blood Passage, the library edition, is
on another one of my Stacking the Shelves. How surprising! Not. But this time,
I’m actually going to read it. I checked it out of the library again because I’m
actually almost done re-reading Exquisite
Captive, and I wanted to dive right in to book two without forgetting any
major details. As for Now I Rise, I
finished And I Darken earlier this
month and LOVED IT! I couldn’t wait to buy my own copy of Now I Rise in July (because my book budget balance was too low to
get it in June), so I just borrowed it from the library. Expect to see
purchased copies of Now I Rise and Bright We Burn in a future book haul.
What books have
you bought/received lately?

I've heard such good things about Vicious. I really need to check out Caraval and Legendary. I've heard they're awesome.

Hope things start looking up. That's awful about the bed bugs. Make sure none followed you home - that would be horrible. Lots of good looking books so it looks like you'll have some great choices this month.
