I am really excited to participate in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality.
My Life
This was a much better week. I didn't have too many extra things to try to squeeze into my schedule. I did have an eye appointment and ordered a new pair of glasses and contacts. On Friday night, my daughter performed in her school's variety show with her jazz ensemble. Other than that, it was my normal schedule of work, household chores, blogging and reading.Books for Review
The Secret Ingredient for a Happy Marriage by Shirley Jump (Publisher)
Sandpiper Shore by Debbie Mason (Publisher)
I was thrilled to get a surprise package this week with these three books from Forever (Grand Central Publishing). I am really looking forward to reading all of these!
Nights at Seaside by Addison Cole (Author)
I always enjoy Sawyer Bennett's Cold Fury Hockey series so I downloaded Marek as soon as I saw it listed on NetGalley. I have been saying how I to read Melissa Foster's work so I am eager to listen to one of her books written under the name Addison Cole.
Books Purchased
I added these beauties to my collection this week because I am planning to attend the book signing for Obsidio tonight. I cannot wait!

The book signing was a lot of fun. I am really looking forward to reading Carolyn Brown's book.
DeleteI really enjoyed Illuminae and I'm so curious to read the others as well! happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI do need to get busy reading the rest of the series but I am thrilled to have signed copies for my shelf.
DeleteNice! Quite a few new to me ones! Except for Obsidio of course!! Cannot wait until tonight!! So excited that they are coming here!! See you there!!

Old Follower :)
Good to see you at the book signing :)
DeleteGlad it as a better week. Hope you have fun a the signing!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun at the book signing. I was honored that my 17 year old spent a Saturday night with me :)
DeleteI was so excited to see Marek on NG, and JUMPED on it. I was even more excited to get immediately approved. I think his story is going to be fabulous. The last book had me wanting it right away. I hope you have fun at the Obsidio event. Kaufman and Kristoff were as funny and charming as I had hoped. I laughed so much!
ReplyDeleteI am auto-approved for Loveswept so I downloaded Marek right away. For some reason, Reed, was always hidden from me so I couldn't get a copy of the last book in the series. The Obsidio event was a whole lot of fun!
DeleteI’m glad you had a good week. You got Obsidio! I need that book. Have fun at the signing!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
The signing was a lot of fun. I can't wait to get to Obsidio.
DeleteHave fun at the signing! I read Illuminae last month, and while I didn't love it, I still thought it was good. I think I'll buy the whole series in paperback at a later date. They're too heavy as hardcovers.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Illuminae but haven't read the other two yet. I have heard that the audiobooks for this series are amazing so I think I am going to grab those to listen to soon.
DeleteAwww the new Brown!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward that one.
DeleteI have to get my hands on Obsidio. I've not read the others yet but they will all look awesome on my shelves waiting for me.
ReplyDeleteThey are all such pretty books, Barb!
DeleteYay for a good week. Neat on the surprise pack. I've got the Carolyn Brown for review.
ReplyDeleteJust finished my copy of Obsidio. Loved this trio. Have fun at the signing! :)
I have my fingers crossed that the new Brown will be a good one.
DeleteYay for the Grand Central surprise. It was fun to get that one for sure :) Glad yall had an easy week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna!
DeleteIt's always fun to get surprise books in the mail.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?!
DeleteARGH don't tempt me with Marek LOL! I love the Cold Fury series but I'm already booked all the way to June.
ReplyDeleteNice haul! Hope you had fun at the signing!
WEEKLY WRAP-UP
Marek is such a short book that I know I can squeeze it in pretty easily.
DeleteI caved. LOL.
DeleteI hope you enjoy it :)
DeleteThe trilogy looks nice in hardback form! I'm glad this week was less stressful for you!
ReplyDeleteThe Illuminae Files is looking really nice on my bookshelves :)
DeleteI really need to read Gemina! Thank you for the reminder. I hope you love your new additions. My haul!
ReplyDeleteI need to get busy reading that one myself!
DeleteObsidio! Jealous :) I won't be able to haul mine soon. Enjoy :) they look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI felt like I had to get a copy right away since they were coming in town for a book signing. I am not sure when I will get to it though.
DeleteI need to go to the eye doctor. I dislike it but I'm almost out of contacts! Glad this week was a bit calmer and great book haul! I really want to try Sawyer Bennett and Addison Cole. I didn't realize she was Melissa Foster. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI don't really like going either. It is expensive and takes forever. My eyes have really been bothering me so it was time. How I wish I had my younger eyes back!
DeleteHave fun at the book signing. How cool. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteMary #SundayRoundup #10
Thanks, Mary! I had a great time!
DeleteWOW! You got a copy of Marek already? I can't wait to get my hands on it - I absolutely love the Cold Fury Hockey series!
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to Gemina in the car these days, and have the audio for Obsidio on my iPod already :)
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

I was really excited to get my hands on Marek especially since I wasn't ever able to get a copy of Reed.
DeleteYeah for book signings! I got Obsidio on release day, but will be waiting to devour it after Take Control. Glad this was a good week with a nice surprise from Grand Publishing.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure when I will get to Obsidio but I am happy that it is here waiting for me. I might grab the audios for the series.
DeleteCarolyn Brown and Sawyer Bennett are always great authors to grab up. Hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to both of their new books.
DeleteI love book mail surprises! Enjoy all of your goodies :)
ReplyDeleteBook mail surprises are the best!
DeleteI'm so excited for Obsidio!! Hope the signing was awesome, and that you enjoy all your new books!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time at the signing, Cyn!
DeleteI am glad this was a more normal week for you, especially after the last one! And wow, a book signing. I would love to go to one of those one day. I hope you have fun :D
ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance to go to a book signing, they are a whole lot of fun!
