Stacking The Shelves #98/Sunday Post #30

Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality as a way to share all the books we got during the week!

The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. Its a weekly post to showcase what books you got, recap the week, and talk about what will be coming up this week on the blog!

• An Ember In The Ashes (An Ember In The Ashes #1) by Sabaa Tahir
• A Torch Against The Night (An Ember In The Ashes #2) by Sabaa Tahir

So I finally bought these books! Because I've seen them on so many blogs! And I even took an actual picture of my books for the first time since Christmas! You know why? Because they are beautiful! The picture doesn't do it justice. The titles and weapons are reflective. The colors look amazing! Seriously! Beautiful! I'm so excited to have these finally! I'll also be following the re-read for these so I can get them read before A Reaper At The Gates comes out!

So as you can tell, it's been a busy week! Lots of cover reveals happened! I got more than one review up! Guys! I read three books this week! Two are linked to reviews above, and the other will be reviewed this upcoming week! I'm feelings good with my reading! Also, I'm super proud! I haven't requested a book on NetGalley for over a month now! Woot! And I'm working my way through the Galleys I already have this month! YES! 

Ok guys, kitty picture time! We found this cute kitty collar at Walmart for Brodie with a bowtie and he is ADORABLE with it on! Look at this handsome cat!!! :D :D 

I also got the Instagram for the blog set up! This blog template came with an Instagram widget built in, I just have to activate it. So that'll happen soon. Until then, I've linked it in the follow section! 

Its been a busy week outside of blogging and reading as well! James is working his butt off on finals and papers. And of course I'm helping him! I've always been strong with writing so he trusts me to help him proofread, edit and help him reword things. Two papers down, one more to go! We also toured the Waldorf school here in Tucson this week. We're seriously considering sending Ana to it instead of a public school since the Waldorf way of teaching seems like it would be better for Ana based on her development. We also have family pictures scheduled this weekend. Its been busy. And we'll stay busy until about mid next week. I'm tired! All this extra stuff is wearing me out!

As always, there's plenty of time to sign up for the Dystopia Reading Challenge! I'd love to have you! 

I also introduced to you July's Read-Along book! Please make sure to check out the read-along page and fill out the interest form if you want to take part (or tell me in the comments and I'll remember to remind those who showed interested when the sign up goes up)!  This will be July's Read-Along book:

I'm very much open to hosting more read-alongs (outside of the Dystopia Reading Challenge ones) since interest in them has been shown! If you have suggestions, let me know! I'll pick a book at random from suggestions and some of my tbr books mixed together to pick books for upcoming months. So if there's a book you wanna add to the mix, drop it in the comments! :)
