Stacking the Shelves #60


Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews
Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! Click on the link under the book to find its page on Goodreads or Smashwords.
                  
Please note that I always leave a message on your STS/SP if you visit me, but if you use DISQUS or a similar third party I will not be able to leave a comment on your page. And sometimes, I have problems leaving messages on blogs hosted by Wordpress. 

Well, this was a busy week for me so I didn't get much time online. In fact I haven't posted anything on the blog since Monday. Erk! I had a lot of stuff to do around the house and plenty reading so that's my excuse. So I need to get a few reviews done today!

Yesterday of course was Black Friday and seeing those manic violent scenes made me very happy that I was sitting safely at home, browsing Amazon for deals on my computer! My dad and I managed to spend close to £100 on dvds and book bargains so we were pretty happy. Doing it the online way was MUCH safer than what I was seeing on the news! So who got some good bargains then? Planning to do more shopping this weekend?
 
My books this week are a bit of a mixture. I've been looking to get a copy of Jimmy Anderson, my favourite cricketer's book for a while but I've stopped buying full price biographies as I only read them once. I got this for less than a pound on Kindle which is a good deal! I love the film Heavenly Creatures and I've been searching for 15 years to get books about the murder. This week I finally found two on Amazon though they were quite expensive. One of my other interests has always been the Bigfoot legend so I treated myself to a pile. The rest should arrive in time for next weeks STS hopefully!

    Ooh, interesting picks! I avoided Black Friday too -- completely, really, since I don't have the money. Alas, alas, etc. Bet it's going to be awesome getting all your new books in the post, ha!

      My dad and I aren't going to be having a Christmas celebration so we kept our money just for this, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford it either. I know my dad would love a PS4 or a XBox One but even at discount prices it's a bit too expensive!

      I guess you could say that I'm indulging a few interests that I've had for a while!

      Thanks Grace. It was one of those dodgy stomachs with the bad cramps and it just appeared with no warning. Feel a bit better today though so I hope it was just a mild viral thing.

      Thanks! Feeling better and ready to go back to browse the sales. Don't have much money left but maybe enough for a few Kindle wishlist books!

    Nice haul this week, I hope you enjoy them all. As for Black Friday, didn't find any deals that I wanted so didn't buy anything. The news was shocking to watch, maybe they should keep Black Friday in the US. Or stick to ONLINE deals ONLY. I hope people were embarrassed about how they acted. Here's my STS.

      Our nearest big Tesco had to be closed because people were fighting. I can't believe the shops were saying that they underestimated how many people would come! There's no way I'd put myself through that kind of shopping-online is much easier!

      I really loved the film so I'm super curious about the real story behind it!
