I am really excited to participate in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality.
We have spent some of the past two weeks getting our house back in order after the storm damage from our neighbors tree. The new siding is up, the gutters are repaired, and the work is finally done. Of course, it is never quite the way it was before but I am not going to stress over it since the damage was to the back of the house.
It is definitely feeling like summer around here and my husband has informed me that our pool is now ready for use so I am looking forward to some cooling off time in my near future.
My Life
I took a little break last weekend so this book haul actually covers the past two weeks. Honestly, most of these books would have been on last week's post since I only added one book this week.We have spent some of the past two weeks getting our house back in order after the storm damage from our neighbors tree.

Books Added
Wild Hunger by Chloe Neil (NetGalley)
Serpentine by Laurell K. Hamilton (NetGalley)
They Feed by Jason Parent (Kindle Purchase)
The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren (Kindle Purchase)
Cocktales by Various (Kindle Purchase)
I did add a couple of review books to the pile. I am very curious about Chloe Neill's new series so I decided to give it a try. I kind of surprised myself by requesting the new Laurell K. Hamilton. I am several books behind in the series and I hate books with snakes on the covers but I was talking to my sister about books and this one came up so I ended up requesting it. I bought They Feed after reading a review over at Bark's Book Nonsense. The Ones Who Got Away has been on my radar since it came out so I grabbed it while it was on sale. Cocktales really needs no explanation :)
Uprooted by Naomi Novik (Audible Purchase)
Hello Again by Brenda Novak (Audible Purchase)
The Bourbon Kings by J.R. Ward (Audible Purchase)
Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts (Audible Purchase)
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn (Audible Purchase)
A Study in Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas (Audible Purchase)
I bought this nice pile of audiobooks during the 2 books for 1 credit sale last week. All I can say is that I am a sucker for a sale.
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!
A big yes to They Feed which is resting on my ereader! I was all about horror and apocalypse this week which was fun. My ereader is bursting at the seams so I need to start getting stuff off the thing!
ReplyDeleteMy poor Kindle is loaded with so many unread books. I couldn't resist picking up They Feed when I read Bark's review!
Deleteis Serpentine by Laurell HAmilton part of her anita blake series? seems like it's been going on for ages!
ReplyDeleteIt is #26 in the Anita Blake series...it kind of has been going on for ages :)
Deletelad the work on your house is done. Storm damage is never fun. We just had our basement flood and what a pain! ENjoy all those new books and audios! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that you are dealing with basement flooding. Yuck. I hope you get everything fixed up soon.
DeleteGlad to hear the work on your house is good and done!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did good for two weeks! I really enjoyed Wild Hunger! I loved Chloe's Chicagoland Vampires and I feel like this new version is a great spinoff! It has that same Chicagoland flair but it still uniquely its own with a new cast of characters! Hope you enjoy all the new reads!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I have only read the first of the Chicagoland Vampires series so I hope that I am okay jumping in with this new series. I didn't realize it was a spin off when I requested it.
DeleteThat's how my book acquisitions go- big pile one week and none the next. Balances out. You got some real goodies. I liked the Roni Loren and the Sherry Thomas books. Happy reading/listening, Carole!
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to worry to much unless I add too many review books. I will get to most of these when I get to them. No real stress :)
DeleteEnjoy the pool and your new books!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks, Aj!
DeleteYeah I didn't buy anything for the first two weeks of May, well I only bought 3, but still! I hope June is better for you!
ReplyDeletehttps://justmeandmyblogreviews.blogspot.com/2018/06/stacking-shelves.html
I think June should prove to be a good month!
DeleteGlad you were able to get your house fixed. You had a great two week haul! Hope you enjoy them all! I am really curious about They Feed.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Stormi
It is such a relief to finally get everything put back together. Thanks, Stormi!
DeleteI also got Wild Hunger and Cocky Tales. I already owned Uprooted by Naomi Novik and it is one of my favorite audiobooks EVER. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Anne - Books of My Heart
ReplyDeleteI read Uprooted and loved it so I grabbed the audio for a re-read at some point. I am really looking forward to experiencing the story again.
DeleteSorry to hear of the storm damage. Nice mix of print and audio on your shelves this weekend. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deleteawesome books :D
ReplyDeleteAt least the tree did not do even more damage
It could have been so much worse!
DeleteI'm taking the weekend off! It might effect my reviews next week, but sometimes we just need a break. I've added Cocktales to my shelves, too! It's massive! I received Uprooted as a Secret Santa gift, but I haven't had a chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteL @ Do You Dog-ear?
Last week when I needed to sit down to write my post, I just didn't want to do it and allowed myself to take a break. Read Uprooted! It is such a good book, Lindsi!
DeleteYay for the pool! It was 90's around here the last few days (thankfully today it was cooler)so cooling off at the pool sounds good right now! Hope you have a great weekend! The new Chloe Neill does look good, and seems like I saw a good review for They Feed somewhere too. Happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteIt was cooler here today as well but I think I will be trying out the pool very soon!
DeleteAwesome haul of books this week. I hope you love them.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Thanks, Grace!
DeleteI am looking forward to getting our pool up so we can enjoy it now that the temperatures are turning warmer. I am so glad to hear the work on your house is done. It must come with some relief for you, but as you said, it isn't quite the same.
ReplyDeleteYour new books all look so good! I hope you enjoy Uprooted. I read it and liked it--hopefully the audio will be good as well. I am really curious about Wild Hunger too, and am looking forward to that one. I'll be waiting to hear your thoughts on Hamilton's latest. I gave up the series quite a while ago, but I was quite fond of the series at one time.
I hope you have a great week, Carole!
I love Uprooted and am looking forward to a audio re-read at some point. I am a couple of books behind with the Anita Blake series but I still decided to try this new one....we shall see how that works out!
DeleteSounds like house stuff is keeping you but hopefully it's all settled now! A pool sounds heavenly. Perfect for this hot sticky weather. You had quite an audible haul! Whiskey Beach was one I really enjoyed and I hope you do too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that you enjoyed Whiskey Beach. The story sounded great and with Luke Daniels narrating, I just couldn't resist.
DeleteI did read serpetine and A Study in Scarlet Women . I haven't tried the others though bu heard about them. happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed Serpentine, Melliane. I feel like I took a chance requesting that one.
DeleteI hope you love A Study in Scarlet Women - it's one of my favorite series. Sadly, I gave up on the Laurell K. Hamilton series a long time ago!
ReplyDeleteI did remember how much you enjoyed A Study in Scarlet Women which was one of the reasons I decided to pick it up.
DeleteGlad to hear you're able to get things cleaned up and there wasn't more damage than that. I haven't read anything this week so far because I've had a stomach bug and haven't felt well.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well.
DeleteI got Cocktales too this week cause gotta support the Romance World. And I grabbed Uprooted this week as well, I've heard awesome things about that book. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure when I will be able to read Cocktales but I just had to buy it to support the cause.
DeleteI got Cocktales and forgot to add it. I loved the Bourbon Kings series and hope you do as well. Glad the homestead is repaired. Enjoy your new goodies
ReplyDeleteI have seen a lot of good reviews for the Bourbon Kings series so I am excited to give it a try. I just had to add Cocktales :)
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of your books. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on LKH. I don't remember the last book of hers I read, but I gave up a while back. Glad you have your house back to rights, even if it isn't the same. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
It has been a few years since I last read LKH as well. I hope my gamble with that one will pay off.
DeleteGlad you managed to get your house back in order!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Thanks, Nicole!
Deleteah shoot!! I completely missed out on the 2 for 1 sale D: you got some awesome titles up there
ReplyDeleteI love it when Audible has their 2 for 1 sale. I can almost always find a few things I need to have.
DeleteI don't want summer to come. I am not a fan of the heat, but I guess for those who enjoy the pool/beach it's a good thing. The whole idea behind Cocktales is unreal, but I love many of the authors involved in that project. I really liked The Ones Who Got Away. I have the second book, and need to get it on one of my weekly TBRs. I listened to The Bourbon Kings and loved it, but my library never got the other books. =/ I do want to finish that series though.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to The Ones Who Got Away. It sounds like one I will really like.
DeleteYay for everything being fixed and it being pool-worthy weather! It must be nice to have a bit of sun and to be able to enjoy the warmth and relaxation. I have Uprooted but haven't read it yet. I hope you'll enjoy it x
ReplyDeleteUprooted is such a great book! I hope to get some good use out of the pool this summer :)
