Stacking The Shelves #110/Sunday Post #42

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!

No New Books This Week! Woot!

So I read 3 books this week. The first half of the week I struggled with a migraine so no review for Monday. But I finished Champion on Wednesday. And if I can admit it, I'm getting frustrated with Marie Lu's endings. Both The Young Elites and the Legend series have had not so great endings and I'm genuinely getting frustrated with it. Makes me wonder how Wildcard is gonna end with the way its going. I also read Pacifica. I really enjoyed it! I thought it was such a realistic potential dystopian world. I mean it dealt with real issues. Oil running out, ice caps melting, trash in the ocean. It was a good read. I also just finished The House of One Thousand Eyes by Michelle Barker as part of Deweys 24 Hour Readathon. That review will be up sometime in the next 2 weeks. I'm currently listening to the audiobook of American Panda by Gloria Chao. I checked it out from the library to test the waters with audiobooks and so far I'm enjoying the it! I'm excited for this upcoming week! I finally got to order 2 books I wanted to read this past month and I'm dying for them to come in. You'll obviously see in next weeks StS but gosh! So excited for them!

So we saw Ana's eye doctor. And good news! She's seeing a difference in how much Ana's eye turns in! The patch is helping. She wants us to continue it for another 2 months and then see how she does with just her glasses after that until we see her again in December. I'm so happy there's progress! And we did get other good news. She should be able to take our insurance at the new practice! So that's awesome!!

James also got some potential good news. His post office might potentially be converting a contract route or 2 into rural routes. If this happens he might finally get to move up and have his own route instead of just being a sub. So we're really hoping it actually happens. We won't know anything for a few weeks on if it'll be approved but we're hoping!! **Update** So after James went to work Saturday, its been confirmed 1 of the contract routes is being converted. But now James has to talk to boss man. The senior sub doesn't want that route and James should be next in line with seniority but someones spreading a rumor that the sub under him will get the route. So he's talking to boss man Monday and finding out if he is next to get it and not who the other sub is rumoring to get it.

Also, James got a letter Friday from his college congratulating him on making the honor roll for the second semester in a row! I told you guys he passed with straight A's this spring. So he got a 4.0 GPA this past semester! I'm so proud of him! :D

We decided to put off the looking for another cat for a week or two. The one we had our eye on is being adopted by his foster and after the 30th of this month, the shelter is going to do a Clear The Shelter event which means free adoptions. This is the same event we took advantage of last year to get Brodie so we're gonna wait til the event starts. Plus since a lot of cats get adopted during this event, they are able to move more cats in and out of the kennels, so we'll probably have a better chance at seeing more of the cats they have.
