My Fit/Walking Goals:
I'm trying to work on getting back into shape, and I am a walker. I've got a Fitbit and so I'm using the steps on that until I get better/more time to walk. I'd like to get back to my 20 miles of walking a week. For now I'm walking when I can, and trying to get about 10,000 steps a day. Starting next week I'm going to post a daily update of steps on this post, as well as how many miles I walked. My 20 miles a week is separate from how many steps I get a day. While those steps from the miles count towards my daily step goal, the normal daily steps don't count towards my 20 miles. Does that make sense?
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected.
HI, my name is Lisa, and I'm a bookaholic. (I'll pause while everyone reading says "Hi Lisa"). I sometimes can't believe how ridiculous I am about books. It's like a serious addiction. There is no way I will ever get to all the books I have sitting in my house to read, yet I keep adding more! Anyway, here's the past week's additions.
Physical copies of books:
-->
For Book Tours:
Free ebooks:
I haven't read either of these series, but this novella was free, so I thought maybe I'd try reading it and see if it got me interested at all in the two series.
E-galleys:
-->
Both are from Edelweiss. I've still asked the publisher for a physical ARC of Persuasion, because I got an ARC of the first book last summer at BEA and would like to have a matching set, but we'll see what happens!
Those are the things I added this week. What about you? What are your plans for the week? What have you added to your shelves? And don't forget while you're here to enter my month long giveaway that goes with my A to Z Challenge below!
So many lovely books :). I always love to see your new books.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love to look at them as well!
DeleteSo many great books this week. I've stopped doing Blog Tours, and am only trying to do 1-2 blog tours a month, because I need to catch up on my e-galleys. I have way too many, so I know the feeling. Great haul of books this week.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
I know! I finished two books really quickly this weekend, so I'll get the hope that I'm going to get ahead on the egalleys, but then I'll probably end up with one that goes slow, or I'll be too busy to read and right back to feeling behind again. thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat books this week! I need to slow down on blog tours as well because my NetGalley count is getting scary but then I see notices for blog tours for really great looking books and all willpower goes out the window. I need to schedule a just say no month every once in awhile! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSame here. I'm trying to just sign up for occasional book blitzes so I don't feel bad when I do find one I want to review. I like the idea of a Just say no month! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI am a walker too, and eager for sunshine so we can venture out. Ah yes the ARCS. I am still ahead but my pre-posts have dwindled down to two weeks..I am hoping to build them up in May.
ReplyDeleteMy pre-posts are kind of behind at the moment. Mostly because I'm spending my time getting my A to Z April posts set up. Once May gets here I'm hoping to get back on track with others. I've set my plan to try to get up and go early this summer with a friend that I didn't walk with in the past because it was so early in the morning. But I have to do it, and this will hold me accountable. Plus I might try a Walk, run, walk program again. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYour books look like fun...and so tempting. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get to them! Thanks for returning the visit!
DeleteControl sounds good, hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've been interested in that one for awhile!
DeleteNice haul! I know what you mean about NetGalley. My percentage is horrible. I need to go through and leave short "reviews" or let them know about issues with the eGalley. I've been putting it off. I should also make more of an effort to get to all the ARCs, too. I was actually saved the past two weeks by blog tours and cover reveals. I was so sick and couldn't get much done but I had scheduled posts to go up, thank goodness. I need to catch up now with all the books I've read while I was sick. Have a great week, enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteMichelle @ Michelle's Minions
I need to do the short/mini-reviews if I can, although there are many of them I never got to. It is nice when you have the scheduled posts and are really busy. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI need to start walking more too, at my old job I did quite a lot in a day but after I lost it I just haven't. I need the motivation or something though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really gone on NetGalley much lately, that percentage thing kind of drives my crazy to be honest.
You've got some awesome looking books, especially Illuminae! I'll have to check Edelweiss for it. :)
Have a great week!
I have some days where I get more walking in than others, but as a librarian I never know what day that will be. Unfortunately I can't seem to help myself from checking Netgalley and Edelweiss daily. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat haul! They all looks so good. Love the cover for Vivian Apple! Hope you enjoy your books :) Here's ours: BiblioJunkies Cheers! ~ Bel
ReplyDeleteI love the idea behind the Vivian Apple book, hoping I get to it soon. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteSounds like you had a busy week! I need to get on with a lot of stuff in the house and garden but I seem to lack energy and motivation! Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI need to clean and do laundry so bad! But then there are books that I want to read, and blogging to do, so it doesn't get done. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou got a lot of great books this week! I really hope you enjoy the Double Crossed novella. Ally Carter is one of my favorite authors, and I think Double Crossed is a great introduction to both of her series. Also, Illumine looks so good and I can't wait for it to come out.
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment here once before, and it didn't post. Hopefully this works!
I've read an Ally Carter adult novel, but none of her teen books, so thought this would be a good way to check it out. Your comment seems to have worked this time! Yay! So glad you visited me!
DeleteI need to go through and leave tiny review on the books from Netgalley that I just couldn't get into. My percentage isn't horrible, but I would like it to be above a 90 at least.
ReplyDeleteI tried to do that today. There are so many though that I downloaded, but then never even got around to starting. I'm trying to keep up with everything from now on, and stop requesting so many! :-) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow, nice haul... Ally Carter is a great author... I just finished All Fall Down and really enjoyed it. Lauren Oliver, Lynda Kang, Amie Kaufman, you did awesome with this collection. Enjoy Reading...

I've only read one chick lit book of hers, an adult novel, so need to give her YA a chance. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat group of books and giveaway. New follower by email here. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Hope I don't disappoint you in the following. Glad you stopped by.
DeleteGreat haul this week. Persuasion looks awesome! I loved compulsion
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy :) Happy Reading!
Here's my Weekly Wrap Up
Michelle @ Book Briefs
I loved Compulsion as well! Can't wait to read Persuasion. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteSeeing Persuasion reminds me that I haven't read Compulsion yet. I was really looking forward to it but just didn't get around to it.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog design! You don't see many with orange. I like it!
You should get around to that! Maybe you can read them both at the same time. :-) Thanks for the compliment on my blog, orange is one of my favorite colors!
DeleteGreat book haul! Recently I also got a copy of Control and the sequel Catalyst from the publisher, so I am hoping that I will be able to dive in and enjoy them both. I am looking forward to it, and hope you like them too!
ReplyDeleteThey sound good. HOping to get to them soon! Thanks for visiting!
