Stacking The Shelves #109/Sunday Post #41

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!

Stalking Jack The Ripper (Stalking Jack The Ripper #1) by Kerri Maniscalco
A Study In Charlotte (Charlotte Holmes #1) by Brittany Cavallaro

So we finally went and checked out the Indie bookstore right next to one of the used bookstore locations we frequent. Lol. It's called Mostly Books (if you'll notice by the bookmark. They give out bookmarks with the store info with purchases!) Anywhoozles. I found these two lovely gems I've been wanting to read. Which is awesome because the Barnes and Noble near me hasn't had copies of these in. And even more awesome, this bookstore also has a great variety of signed YA books. Unfortunately practically every signed book they had this time I already own. But good to know for future releases! :)

The Vicious Deep (The Vicious Deep #1) by Zoraida Cordova

I also picked this up for kindle. It was available to buy for free one day last weekend I think. It's free to read with Kindle Unlimited but I don't have that but I've been really interested in this book. So when I saw it was free for like a day to actually buy I jumped on it.

So this week I read Renegades. Despite the fact I wasn't sure I was going to be into the superheroes/villains plot, it grew on me. Overall, a 4/5 star read! Same with Throne of Glass. My other read this week. I really enjoyed finally starting the main books in the series! A lot of the events have me pumped to read Crown of Midnight. So another good read for me.

Unfortunately, this was the extent of my reading. After I finished Throne of Glass I just couldn't get into anything. I tried picking up Furyborn. I literally put it down after a page. Then I tried to pick up my advanced copy of Ignite The Stars and only got a chapter in before putting that down. I decided to take a small reading break after that since I wasn't getting much to hold my attention. Instead I've just been trying to relax and got back into playing a game on the Xbox 360 that I haven't played in a while. That being... Fallout: New Vegas! I love the Fallout games but I've been dragging my feet on New Vegas since it's so open ended and I wasn't sure what way I wanted to go with it. Now that I have an idea of the end game I want I got back into it and its been great fun.

This upcoming week should be interesting. Ana has another eye appointment. So we're gonna see if the patch treatment has been helping. We also get to find out where her eye doctor is moving to. She's moving to a different practice in town so we should be able to find out where and maybe, if she'll be able to take our insurance at the new practice (one can hope right). It doesn't matter though. She's so good with Ana we'll still see her regardless of whether we still have to pay out of pocket. Lol.

We also might go to the shelter and look at the cats. They are doing a $5 feline event through the end of the month, so we might take a look and see if we find another cat to add to the family.

I've also decided to do Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon on the 28th. I decided why not since it's actually starting at 8PM on the 27th and I do a lot of my reading after 8PM. I think this will work perfectly!!!

On top of that, I'm also thinking about doing ARC August and I know I'm already going to do Bout of Books in August. I'm looking to make August a big push month for me to read a lot and get a lot of reviews up or scheduled!
