I am really excited to participate in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality.
My Life
It was a pretty calm week at my house. Work was pretty busy which made the work days move pretty fast. It was my turn to take my daughter to her jazz group on Thursday which meant my night was as busy as my day. I did manage to get a couple of good books in this week including my first 5 star read of 2018.Books Purchased
Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day by Seanan McGuire (Kindle Purchase)
I saw this one on sale for $1.99 so I decided to grab a copy with my gift card balance. I am looking forward to reading it.

A few months ago, I signed up for a promotion at eStories that gave me 3 months for $0.99 each. I received my third credit this week so I decided to pick out which books I wanted. I already have a copy of the first audiobook in the Iron Druid Chronicles so I decided to add the next 3 books to my collection.
What books do you add to your shelves this week?
Let me know in the comments and be sure to leave a link to your own STS post!
I always admired all the young people, like your daughter, who are so dedicated to their craft. My daughter danced competitively, and I remember thinking, that I never worked that hard at anything when I was her age. Our kids are very impressive!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much some kids are able to get done!
DeleteOOh nice! I need to get caught up on the Iron Druid series! So behind! Like 3 books now? Lol! Hope you're enjoying them!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I haven't started the series yet but I am pretty sure that I will enjoy it. If not, I haven't lost too much since the books were only $0.99 each.
DeleteYay for your first 5 star read! Enjoy your new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have had a few that were really close but I am happy to finally give a book 5 stars.
DeleteI've been wanting to read this series for so long! I need to just give in and buy the first book.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy!
I have the first one so now I should be set for a while.
DeleteYou can never have too much Oberon!
ReplyDeleteI am ready to start this series very soon!
DeleteYou got some great books this week! I have wanted to try the Iron Druid series!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to starting it!
DeleteI've seen this series around but haven't read any of it. Sounds like a good audio pick. The Jazz group sounds fun despite the extra driving for you. Sounds like you'r week has been super busy. I hope you're getting some relaxation in this weekend! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI like the narrator and have heard great things about the series. I like the week's that my husband takes her to the jazz group. I am a very good dog sitter :)
DeleteOhh Iron Druid!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it!
DeleteI am glad that you got your first 5 star read of the year. i am yet to get that :)
ReplyDeleteAnd nice haul. All these books are new to me but I hope you enjoy all of your new books :)

I have actually had a few book that have really close. It has been a great reading year so far.
DeleteOoh nice- yay for the 5 star read! I've had a few come close so far but not quite there yet. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
I have been lucky enough to have a few close ones. I don't give 5 stars very often.
DeleteGlad you had a nice peaceful week! Hope you enjoy all your books!

Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
Thanks, Ronyell!
DeleteGlad for a quiet week. Those are much needed. Oh yay for the eStories stock up sale.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't really a stock up sale. I just got a great 3 month deal and decided to use all 3 credits at the same time.
DeleteYay for pretty new reads. I hadn't heard of estories before.
ReplyDeleteI like eStories. It is very similar to Audible but the audiobooks do not have DRM. My headphone work better with the Audible app which is the only reason I prefer Audible.
DeleteSounds like a nice quiet week and you grabbed some good book. I LOVED that Seanan McGuire book. It's odd but in such a beautiful way. Man, I sooooo need to start Iron Druid. Maybe in February I can make time.
ReplyDeleteYour review was one of the main reasons I decided to buy the Seanan McGuire book. I hope I like it as much as you did.
DeleteI am glad you were able to find time to read among the busy-ness. Yay for your first 5 star book of the year! I hope you enjoy your new books, Carole!
ReplyDeleteI am very lucky to be able to listen to books at work. I wouldn't get nearly as many done if it wasn't for that.
DeleteCalm weeks are good weeks in my opinion. Love 99cent books. Lately though I've been going crazy with Audible daily deals. LOL. Hope you have a great week and enjoy your new reads! ~Aleen
ReplyDeleteI am always happy to get a calm week. If only they could all be this way :)
DeleteCalmer weeks are always good.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
Deletegreat deals, now you have heaps to read for awhile
ReplyDeleteAt least a little while :)
DeleteCongrats on the first 5 stars read of the year! Great haul!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHaven't heard of any of those, but they are good bargains :) enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely great deals!
DeleteI have heard great things about Kevin Hearne's books! A blogger friend of mine is a huge fan. I personally haven't read anything by him. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week, Carole. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I haven't read him yet but am looking forward to starting very soon.
DeleteThese are all new to me, but I hope you enjoy them :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Here is my STS
Thank you!
DeleteI am seeing that Kevin Hearne series everywhere. If only I didn't have such a backlog . . . Glad you had a quiet week. Those are always good!
ReplyDeleteYou don't even want to know how bad my backlog is right now. I just keep adding books to it. If they are books that I paid for, I feel like I can get to them whenever. I only stress over review books.
DeleteYay for your first 5 star read! Sometimes life is just busy busy busy and there is nothing we can do about it! Hope you're de-stressing from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI was ready for a 5 star book! I have had a couple that came close but it was nice to finally get a 5 star read.
DeleteI really love the Iron Druid series, especially on audio. You won't regret that purchase. I'm so sad to see that series ending.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
I am definitely looking forward to starting the series so that is good to know.
