Sunday Post #29 and Stacking the Shelves June 7th, 2015

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted  @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. See rules here: Sunday Post Meme. 

Last week on the blog:
  So I got three reviews in last week, not the four a week I'd hoped for this summer, but I've been having trouble getting as much reading done as I want.  But I have still been listening to a book in my car, so that is nice.  I got one post each day, which is another goal of mine.

This week on the blog:
  • Review and Blog Tour:  An Absence of Light by Maradeth Houston
  • Waiting on Wednesday
  • Review:  Get Dirty by Gretchen McNeil
  • Book Blitz:  Fabled by Vanessa K. Eccles
  • Possible Reviews:  Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella, The Rules by Nancy Holder
 Not sure what all will get read this week.  I also have some reviews coming up for tours that I need to get finished in time for the dates I'm scheduled to post.  If I get more walking done like I need to, then hopefully I can review the audiobook I'm listening to.  But it will be a busy week working at my part time job, so that will cut into reading time probably.  





Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected.  Employee Appreciation Days ended on Saturday, so of course I had to make one more purchase.  And I got an ARC in the mail this week as well.  There were also a few egalleys and free ebooks that joined my TBR this week.


  • Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut -  I thought I had read this, but I was wrong.  When I heard what it was supposed to be about, I realized I might need to go ahead and pick it up to read a classic. 
  • Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And other concerns) by Mindy Kaling - I am a huge fan of her tv show, and have grown to just be a huge fan of her!  So sad I missed going to BEA this year when she was there! 
  • Calorie Accounting:  The Foolproof Diet-by-Numbers Plan for a Skinnier You by Mandy Levy - This author is coming to speak at the bookstore where I work part time, and so I grabbed it during out special 40% off discount because as I read it, it was funny and I thought it would be worth giving a try. 
  • The Martian by Andy Weir - This is one I've been looking forward to reading for a long time.  With the movie coming soon, and my special discount, I just couldn't resist.  Just have to get to reading it now! 
  • On Writing:  A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King  - I've been told by just about everyone I know who is a writer that this is the book to read. So once again, with the discount, I couldn't resist buying it. 
  • I also got a new Pop figure, so not a book, but it is King Bob, one of the minions from the new Minions movie coming next month.  I love the minions!

 
I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Awake by Natasha Preston from the publishers, Sourcebooks, in the mail this week!  So excited!!

E-galleys:



  Both of these are from Netgalley.  

Free Nook e-books:



  I haven't read either of these authors before, but I recognized their names, so grabbed these free ebooks last week.

So those are my new additions, what else did you add to your shelves this week?
