Stacking the Shelves
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where you showcase all of the books you received for the week, whether it be physical or electronic books!

 Happy Saturday 🙂 How was everyone’s week? Mine was busy and fairly uneventful other than the fact that this weekend I will be very busy most likely. My sister is coming next Friday for ten days and I am OVERJOYED! I haven’t seen her in two years, since my last visit home, and we are going to have the BEST TIME EVER 🙂 haha. This week I have to buckle down and get the spare bedroom/book room finished as that is where she will be sleeping, so it will be a fun time arranging all my books! I also went back to yoga last night since I have injured my feet and… it sucked. My toes still don’t bend properly and I’m clearly a bit out of shape from not doing it in a month and a half, sigh. I just need to stick with it though because I HATE not doing it! I’m slowly getting things back to normal on the blog. I anticipated being finished with the backlog on Tuesday but we had a bad storm on Tuesday and it did something to the internet tower in my area and the only thing that wouldn’t work was my BLOG, argh haha. Anyways since yesterday it’s been working so I will be playing a bit of catchup again today also.

I didn’t get a lot of books these past few weeks which is perfect as I am really taking this “ban” seriously. I didn’t get a single review copy, which that in itself is fantastic. I’m slowly getting caught up with the review backlog… hopefully in July I will be caught up (ish)?

Anyways on to the few books…

Ruin and Rising  A Game of Thrones
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
*Purchased at Indigo Spirit
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
*Purchased at Indigo Spirit

Well I have been waiting for Ruin and Rising so I can finally read Siege and Storm! I have noticed that Chapters/Indigo is constantly putting out books a week early and this was one of them. I got it a week before release! Is that even allowed? I was super shocked when I seen it but I needed to snatch it up immediately haha. I also picked up A Game of Thrones because I have committed to reading this series now 🙂 I am currently watch season one of the show so please no spoilers, but I am going to start this hopefully Sunday night when I am finished season one!

 Ebooks
None this week!

None this week 🙂

audiobooks 
All Our Yesterdays  Code Name Verity  I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You  Anne of Green Gables
All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill
*Free on SYNC
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
*Free on SYNC
I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You by Ally Carter
*Free on SYNC
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
*Free on SYNC

I grabbed four of the SYNC audiobooks that were available! All Our Yesterdays has been on my wish list for a while so I was excited to see that up there. Code Name Verity I have already read and loved but I have wanted the audio book since I finished it. I just think this is one that really, really needs the voice and I have already started it. Phenomenal already. I also had previously started the first book in the Gallagher Girls series but my audiobook borrow expired before I could finish it. I’m glad it was on SYNC because I did really enjoy it so I’d like to start it again! And Anne of Green Gables… and old favorite and I’m interested to see how I like the audiobook!

What books did you get this week? Have you read any of these yet? Are you a GOT fan? Link up!

  1. Aww, that’s awesome you get to spend some time with your sister! My mom is coming own in a few weeks and I am so excited to see her!!

    I just discovered that SYNC site, how awesome is that? lol love it. And it seems like everyone got Ruin and Rising this week!

  2. Nice haul! Ruin & Rising is everywhere at the minute. I have the first two books but haven’t read them yet, something I really need to hurry up and do. I hope you have a great reading week and enjoy all of your new additions 🙂 Here’s my STS.

  3. I hate getting back to pilates after skipping for even a week – it’s always twice as hard those first few days. I hope your toes feel better soon!

    Barnes and Noble let out Ruin and Rising three days early for me, and of course I wasn’t going to say no to that! I have GoT too, but I keep putting it off just because it’s so BIG.

  4. New Feedly follower!

    I really enjoyed The Gallagher Girls series, it was a fast, fun, read/listen. I actually have listened to a majority of the series and thought the audio versions were well done. I really need to start Bardugo’s series, everyone seems to like it!

  5. Have a great time with your sister! 😀 The books from Game of thrones are amazing, even when I prefer some of the changes they made in the TV show (like the ages) and some of those actors aren’t bad to look at 😉 Haha.

    Happy reading!
