Stacking the Shelves #100


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 so you might get a double message sometimes! Blame them, not me!
    
Firstly I can't believe that this is my 100th Stacking the Shelves post! That is pretty exciting stuff! I have to celebrate with a nice book haul! Since I reached my goal of reducing the tbrs to 500, I haven't picked up a single book! I've just sat in front of the TV with old reruns of Masterchef which is lazy but has been fun. But not getting anything read is disappointing so this week I need to find a way out of my reading slump. I'll be taking a few days off the computer just to try and relax, sleep and read so replies to any messages you leave on the blog might be slower than usual so bear with me! I will respond to everyone before next weekend!

I've sneaked up over 500 books due to a few purchases but that will come back down if I get some reading done this week. So I'm still happy enough with things. This week we have zombies, vampires and shifters-YES! What more could a girl want on her book list? I have read the first two Mountain Man books and liked it enough to buy the series in paperback. Mountain Man and Safari are in one volume under the name Mountain Man book 1 but I've listed them seperate the way they are on Kindle just to show off the covers! I was also pleased to get my copy of the Mercy Thompson anthology which has just been released. I'll be reading that asap. 

I've also done a few book trades on RISI which helped me get rid of some unwanted books. I decided to trade them for some books in genres I don't normally read just for a change. I'm not sure how I'll get on with them but at worst, I can trade or bookcross them.

    Ooh, nice haul. I've been avoiding The Fault in Our Stars, it just sounds... soppy. Just not my thing at all. And I haven't enjoyed John Green's work before. But hopefully you'll enjoy it!

      It really isn't the kind of book I would pick up but I plan to see the film eventually and thought I better read the book first. I'm not filled with confidence but I'll give it a try!

    I'd be interested to see what you make of The Fault In Our Stars. I hope you enjoy your books and get out of that book slump!

      I HATE reading slumps! It feels like you are wasting so much time that you could be devoting to a good book!

    Great haul, Chuckles! I ended up loving The Fault in Our Stars, and I found the movie to be good, too. I hope you'll enjoy both!
    I'm not familiar with any of your other books this week.
    Happy 100th Stacking the Shelves!!
    Have a great weekend and happy reading.

      I just felt like trying some different stuff this month. The experiment might not last long if I hate the books!

    Awesome haul. I hate book slumps. They suck quite frankly. I'm sure a good book will get you back in reading mood.

    You always seem to dig up some interesting titles - I need to look into Keith Blackmore.

      Gus is the complete anti hero with a drinking problem who does dumb stuff. Grab the free prequel 'The Hospital' which is pretty good!

      There's nothing like a book haul to cheer you up...well, that's my excuse!

      It's different from my normal reads but the story sounded intriguing. Hopefully I'll enjoy a change of genres!

      There can never be too many zombies in your life! Well, unless the undead are chasing you down the street! Glad you were able to grab them! More zombies on my STS tomorrow!

      I have a holiday haul to post which is bigger than usual so that will not help the tbr especially as I haven't read anything in two weeks! Erk! This haul is good and it's exciting to try something different like The Shock of the Fall.

      I used to read a lot of this kind of book and true life stories of abuse but the true ones made me so depressed I stopped reading them all! I think having something different to read occasionally can be good-I hope so!

    Hey! Hope you are doing well. Enjoying your time and reads. :) Sorry I've been a bit MIA. Life has gone for a drive over the hill at a rather fast speed these last few weeks. I'm hoping things will calm and I'll get back on track here. Take care and have a great week!

      I blubber at the slightest thing so I expect to have a box of tissues handy for this one! And I think the film will be even worse!
