Stacking The Shelves #116/Sunday Post #48

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!

• Ruin and Rising (The Grisha Trilogy #3) by Leigh Bardugo

• Lifel1k3 (Lifelike #1) by Jay Kristoff
• Nevernight (The Nevernight Chronicles #1) by Jay Kristoff
• Godsgrave (The Nevernight Chronicles #2) by Jay Kristoff
• Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack The Ripper #2) by Kerri Maniscalco

So I've heard such great things about the Nevernight books and I've been dying to see why everyone likes them so much!! 

• The Case for Jamie (Charlotte Holmes #3) by Brittany Cavallaro
• Ash Princess (Ash Princess Trilogy #1) by Laura Sebastian
• Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron #1) by Ashley Poston
• The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons

So yeah, you know, my plan was to only get the 3 Jay Kristoff books when I went to the library. Obviously I found 5 other books. I have no self control at the library and should not be trusted with my library card. LOL.

So it's been a slower week. I read Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake. That ending! I'm going to be buying One Dark Throne and Two Dark Reigns this weekend! I need to know what's happening next. Ahhh. I also finished the audiobook of A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. Really interesting!! Definitely can't wait to read more. I'm also working my way through Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor. Ahhh. So many interesting things happening. I should finish it this weekend. 

So since Thursday I've been taking part in #DEARathon (Drop Everything And READathon) on Twitter. It's a fun random readathon hosted by the booktubers Little Book Owl and Little Red Reader! Readathons are announced a few days or a week or so in advance. This one is from the 6th-8th. It's been so fun! I've been doing a bunch of the Twitter sprints and making good progress. It's also fun cuz the two hosts are actually reading Muse of Nightmares as well (they are ahead of me) so we've been talking a bit with each other about it. 

It's been a week guys. Like seriously. Maintenance and pest control requests to our apartment management that have gone ignored. We haven't had issues getting stuff done for a while now but all of a sudden now it's been a week and both have yet to be fulfilled despite them saying "we're on the list." Usually they get shit done in 2 days and I've seen the maintenance people doing bullshit that could easily wait since it doesn't help the PAYING tenants. Like doing something in the laundry room NO ONE USES (all apartments have washers and dryers now). Or going into empty apartments (cough above me cough) just to do something with a broom. Not sure how that trumps the paying tenants that need stuff done but whatever. Also spend Wednesday evening in the ER with Ana having hip pain from falling on it. She's ok, nothing broken or sprained. She just landed wrong on it and needed a few days of children's ibuprofen to help with the pain so it could heal. She's back to her normal self again. But I'm tired. We were at the ER til almost 10PM Wednesday. Not to mention I've been getting up early in case maintenance shows but since they haven't, it's been for nothing so far and I'm exhausted. It's been a long week.

But on the bright side, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY (the 8th, Saturday). WOOT WOOT! I'm officially 25! James got me a cake and a bunch of presents (a few surprises). And he's gonna take me out for dinner after work. I think it's gonna be a good birthday!!! :D
