Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. I was pretty good about not buying books this week. But we had the big 40% off all DVDs sale at the bookstore, and I got sucked into that by the other employees who spend a lot with that, and I spent a little bit on DVDs. Which I never seem to have time to watch. But I have them now, in case I do want to, and do have time. Here are the movies I got:

I've seen the Monkees and The IT Crowd, but not Caprica. I've heard that I will really like Caprica since I liked a series by Robin Wasserman, so for the 40% off and a couple member's coupons I had, I bought them.

Since no one else had grabbed the ARC of Armada at the bookstore, and I was in the middle of listening to Ready Player One at the time, I had to take it. The other book I saw in our bargain books. It was $4.98, plus my 30% off, it was the only in the store, so I had to buy it. Should be a quick fun read.

These are pretty much all free ebooks. We Are Watching was for review. The last one, Voice of Gods, is only a preorder, it comes out in August.
So that is all I got this week. Oh yeah, I guess I did download an audiobook of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling. But it was a free download through my 30 day free trial of Scribd.
So, that's my week and what I got. What did you add to your shelves this week?
That's a pretty nice haul. I love The Monkees! It's been a long time since I've seen the show, though. I'm looking forward to reading Armada. I was going to give COYER a try, but I have so much going on right now. I'm already behind. Happy reading!

I haven't watched the Monkees in a long time either. But they keep advertising one of the antenna tv stations that shows it, and I don't get it. So I have been thinking about the show for a long time. I'm hoping COYER will help me clear out some ebooks, but I don't know how much I'll actually get to the scavenger hunt if it doesn't fit my already planned reads. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteKudos on a having a post for each day of the week! I enjoy audiobooks too. My husband and I ride together to work, but if I was by myself I would listen to audiobooks more. Hope you enjoy your new books!

Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
Yeah, being in the car alone is perfect for audiobooks. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've had my eye on After the Ending for awhile! It looks really good! I hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Weekly Recap!
Same here, I was excited when I saw it. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI can't believe no one grabbed Armada - you are so lucky. Enjoy your books and good luck with COYER!
ReplyDeleteI know! I was shocked! Of course I don't know if I'll read it, or want to listen to it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteAlready had Moon Dweller and We are Watching and just got the others! thanks a lot for the tip :) Yesterday's is Gone looks really good! Can't wait to read it :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the audio books. It is a fairly new experience for me and I also get cranky when I can read them. Now off to read your review of Fallen and to enter your June new release giveaway :)
Yay! Glad you're entering. Maybe you'll win. Thanks so much for visiting!
DeleteOooo, Voice of Gods! I can't wait to read more Herman :) I hope you enjoy all of your new books when you read them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a fabulous week :)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I don't think I've read Herman before, so excited to read this one. Thanks for returning the visit!
DeleteWow, great haul! Loved Moon Dwellers, so I hope you do too! And please don't worry about your weight in a bathing suit! I know, easier said than done, but at least you're getting out there and having fun! Plus, you've been walking that much, so that is phenomenal! I hope you have a really great week, and happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
It's frustrating to be walking and not necessarily eating as much, but still not losing weight. GEtting older is not fun. Thanks for the boost though, and glad you stopped by!
DeleteGreat haul this week! Armada is my most anticipated book of the year so I'll definitely be looking forward to your thoughts on it. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Not sure when I'll get to Armada, but am excited to have it for when I am ready. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteDidn't even know about Armada, and Ready Player One was one of my favorites! I'll have to get my hands on that one. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI think Armada is out next month. And I don't own Ready Player One since I listened to it, but it will be one that I have to buy and have on my shelves. Thanks for returning the stop!
DeleteGreat haul. Hope you enjoy the Monkees; they were so funny. Yeah, as for walking, it would be crazy for me here in SC to walk outside with > 100-degree temps nearly every day. We do go to the gym, so any walking for exercise has to be done there. :)

I used to love watching the Monkees when I was a kid and the reruns were on. I don't know what I'm going to do with it getting so hot and me trying to go work in my library this week. Guess I need to find a gym that is a cheap enough fee that I won't feel bad if all I do is go use their treadmill. That way I can walk in the winter too. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteCongrats on meeting your walking goals! I have recently started listening to audiobooks in the car as well, and I really enjoy it. It makes my long drives more bearable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the The Local Muse
I don't have many long drives, but even a 15 minute drive and listening to the audiobook is fun I think. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteCAPRICA! I can only remember watching the first few episodes, but I really liked it. And then, as usual, I got super behind and now here we are years later where I haven't even thought about it. I'm even worse at continuing TV shows than I am at continuing series.
ReplyDeleteI never watched it, didn't even know about it until someone told me it was like a book series I liked. And of course, it didn't last but one and a half seasons, so I should be able to get through it pretty quickly. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI unfortunately haven't heard of most of the stuff you got, but I hope you enjoy all of them, books and movies both!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And glad you stopped by!
DeleteLooks like you have plenty to watch and read. Some of those covers are really great. Hope you enjoy them all. Thanks for stopping by my Sunday Post.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental Sherry's Shelves
Oh yeah, like most of us, I have a TBR list that I'll never finish, yet I keep adding to it Thanks for returning the stop!
DeleteYou've kept really busy, Lisa! And your new books this week look really good!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll find some books that can be used for the COYER scavenger hunt, it's fun to try to grab some extra 'points' while reading.
Have a great rest of the week and happy reading.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Yeah, I think the one I'm reading now, that I started with, even counts for one of the scavenger hunt books. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI haven't read any of those books myself, but I hope you enjoy them. I wanted to watch Caprica but I only made it two episodes in before my to watch pile got out of hand and I had to dump some shows. I tried to catch up on Battlestar before I restarted Caprica but Netflix took it off before I could finish.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
Dreams @ Once Upon A Dream Books
I know, I bought it, but have no idea when I'll get to it. Too much to read! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThe Girl in Between and We Are Watching are both books we have in common! I hope we like them both ^^ And Armada, as far as reviews go, sounds like it is going to be just as good as Ready Player One. Enjoy it x
ReplyDeleteI've actually heard some mixed reviews on Armada. We'll see how it goes. Just realized I have a review of We ARe Watching due tomorrow! Have to get to reading!
