Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. I did bad with e-books this week. Oops! Better with physical though.
Physical books:
I had to order this one print on demand about a week ago. You see the author, Tessa Gratton, came to speak to the young writers group at the high school where I am a librarian on Friday. So I had to have something she'd written for an autograph since every other book I have of hers is already autographed. :-) She was great! I think the students had a great time and got a lot of good tips from her!
E-galleys:
Only downloaded one egalley this week. Yay me!
Free or cheap ebooks:

The top two were free, not sure if both were from Amazon or not. The bottom two cost 99 cents each, the one on the left from Amazon, and the one on the right from Barnes and Noble.
So that is what I got this past week. What did you add to your shelves!
Mahgosh, I received (and devoured!) Wrecked just the other day...SO. MUCH. ACHY-NESS! Which is tooootally not a word but suffice it to say, that book literally shattered me. Into about a trillion tiny pieces. I hope you're "enjoying" (because that's so not the right word, again, but.....eeeeeh, what even are words right now?!) it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Sunday Post; I hope you have a great week coming to you! Happy book-ing!
I can't wait till I can get to it! It seems like it will be a total emotional read. Thanks for the heads up about it, and thanks for stopping by!
DeleteIt has just come to my attention that the house we purchased in December does not have a/c. Growing up in FL, I just take a/c for granted, everyone has it right? I am in Connecticut, so I was hoping it wouldn't be such a big deal. Today it was 78 outside and I am rethinking this house now. lol
ReplyDeleteGreat job on blogging ahead, that is awesome.
It shocked me to know houses didn't all have A/C. Like when I went to visit family in Seattle, I learned that. Craziness! :-) Here in Missouri, if you have allergies, your AC starts as soon as your heat is turned off. :-)
DeleteThat's awesome you were so productive this past week and got to the gym a few times. I need to go more. I am going tomorrow afternoon though, so that's a start! haha
ReplyDeleteI really like your header, and your angel doggy looking down is a really sweet touch.

I went to the park on Sunday, that was nice to walk outside. The time actually goes by faster when I'm walking outside it seems.
DeleteI couldn't leave my Sydney out when I put my new dogs on there. :-)
Thanks for stopping by!
I like your new header, and the angel dog too. Sorry to hear about the A/C, I don't like to sleep when it's super hot either. Your discussion post this week sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till Friday! Thanks for visiting. Hope you stop by for the discussion later this week!
DeleteSounds like you had a really busy and productive week. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good one for sure! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHey, Lisa, looks like you had your plate full (of books) this week, but you did a great job! I adore the cover of Gratton's book, 'The Weight of Stars' and how exciting for the students (and you!) to meet her! I'm just a wee bit jealous. :O)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Stacking the Shelves!
Is there any better plateful? :-) I love Gratton, have been able to meet her a few times now! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI love that cover on Tessa Gratton's book! I'm not familiar with her so I went ahead and hunted it down. Sounds like a great book too! Thanks for sharing! And I really like your header!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! I love discovering new blogs and glad I found yours!
Have a great week!
That series is such an original series! I loved it! And Tessa is so great at world building. Thanks for returning the visit, glad to have you here!
DeleteWrecked looks good. I love that your doggies are in your header :) Glad the week was a good one and hope this week delivers more of the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read it! My dogs are such a big part of my life, they have to be a part of everything! :-) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYour header looks fabulous. The dogs make it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love them, and the guy who made them for me was great about fixing the little details I asked him about! Now to just get my new button figured out the way I want it. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYes, I like the new header. Cute :-) Based on comments, I'm interested in Wrecked. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm liking it, just have to figure out how to re-do the background to go better with the colors. Wrecked does sound really good, can't wait to get to it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYaaasss, I love Katee Robert's books. Her book Wrong Bed Right Guy is $0.99 (on sale). Also I think some of Tessa Bailey's Brazen novels are on sale right now for $0.99. Both authors are two of my favorite romance authors! I hope you enjoy all of your new books, Lisa. :)
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yay! Great to hear a good opinion on the book. It sounded good! I rarely pay for books though, not sure why I jumped in for some $0.99 ones this week! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteOooo. You are reviewing some of my favorite audiobooks, Lisa! I listened to On Dublin Street and FELL in love with Scotsmen. haha. Then I listened to the rest of the series, which is one of my favorites. And Rule, while I think I only gave the audio a 3.5 star, I give the series as a whole five stars. I love Jay Crownover now, and have read/listened to all of her books to date!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I might be a little more into Scotsmen now, although an Irish accent is really the one that gets me. :-) I plan to listen to all the rest too! I have to buy the first one though, so that I can take it to get signed when I go meet the author in September. Along with the Crownover ones. I loved Rule. But hearing you like the whole series even better, well now I'm more excited to read the rest! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteIt's great when you can get some posts scheduled in advance, isn't it? I love your new blog header, it's fab. I hope you enjoy reading all of your new books and that you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice. Although then it sometimes leads to slacking off and getting behind. :-) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteBefore I forget... Ashley at Nose Graze has on her site a Grab button generator thingy. Since I don't want to put links here and get it dinged, just go to her site (Google Nose Graze) and then search her site for "Button Grab Code Generator" - her search button is a tiny little magnifying glass up in the top right of her header. It's kind of hard to find.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the feeling of blogged ahead! OOOOO, I wish I could do that right now... *sigh*
I'll go look at it! I've got her page bookmarked now. Thanks!I know I've done it before, but can't remember how I did it. :-)
DeleteNice haul. The Weight of Stars looks compelling. :)

It's about the Norse mythology that the rest of the series is, just some novellas, but I'm glad to own it! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI really like you header! Did you make it? I love the way that it looks. Hope that you have a lovely reading week!
ReplyDelete~Anna
I wish I was able to do that! I wouldn't have to keep paying people then. :-) I had a friend who is an artist tweak my old one so that it included all my dogs and more books. :-) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI know I'm late to the game here, but I had to find the post where you talked about your new header - I love it! So very cute!!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Thanks! I love the new header! Just have to figure out what to do with the background now. Thanks for stopping by to let me know what you think!
