Stacking The Shelves #149/Sunday Post #81

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!

• Children of Virtue and Vengeance (Legacy of Orïsha #2) by Tomi Adeyemi
• The Queen of Nothing (The Folk of the Air #3) by Holly Black
• Kingdom of Souls (Kingdom of Souls #1) by Rena Barron
• Girls of Storm and Shadow (Girls of Paper and Fire #2) by Natasha Ngan

So obviously I had to get the B&N edition of The Queen of Nothing to go with my B&N editions of the first two! I also stumbled upon 50% off books when I went to buy Children of Virtue and Vengeance. So I might have indulged myself a little. I had some extra money from all the OT I did during peak. 

• Lie To Me by Kaitlin Ward
• The Night of Your Life by Lydia Sharp

Thank you Scholastic!

Ok, so this is more like a month recap. Lol. I kinda disappeared again once OT started for peak at Amazon. Guys, it wiped me out. They constantly changed my shifts schedule (they only messed with certain shifts, not everyone's). I was doing 11 hour days with only one day to recoup before more work. It was exhausting. I literally just passed out after work most days cuz of how tired I was. I made some great money with all the OT, but it drained me. But I survived my first peak season with Amazon! But thank god schedules are back to normal. I still feel like I need a solid week off to fully recoup. 

But some good things happened. I finally got my own apartment again! God, I missed having my own place. I'm so happy! And its in the same complex I used to live in that I really liked and felt comfortable in. I moved mid December, yeah, that was fun to fit into my work schedule. Lol. But its so nice. I have a two bedroom apartment that's mine again. Ana has her own room again. I have a kitchen I can use more. I missed this. I feel like I can get back on track with how I used to get things done again. And I'm mostly unpacked. The biggest task I have still is organizing Ana's room.

How was everyone's holidays? Mine were good. Me and Ana had a great Christmas! She got some awesome toys, coloring books, puzzles. She was very happy with her gifts. And we built a paw patrol gingerbread house and made Frozen themed brownie bites. It was a blast! And New Years Eve we just had a quite evening watching the Ball Drop on my laptop. It was nice. We had a really great time over the holidays! 

Now that my schedule is back to normal, I'll be working on reading and blogging more. I got a bunch of books I've been looking forward to so I'm super excited to have time to read again. And I'll be updating my challenges page over the next few days for 2020's challenges. The page is already started, its just a work in progress so far. Lol.
