The Secret

Stacking The Shelves #119/Sunday Post #51

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!


Ahhhhhh!!! Guys. I don't know if I've expressed my love for the Uglies series but I LOVE THOSE BOOKS. And Impostors is the first book in a continuation of it! I LOVED THIS! LOVED!!!! This book stayed so true to all the ideas and events that happened in the first 4 books, while introducing such a fantastic, new, invigorating story! This is 100% one of my fave reads of the year! :D :D My review will be up on the 10th.

So this week ended up being a much better reading week for me! First I finished The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro. Enjoyed it! I gave it a 4/5 stars. The I read Impostors by Scott Westerfeld (AKA the aforementioned book I fangirled on). Absolutely loved it! 5/5 Stars! Then I read The Case for Jamie by Brittany Cavallaro. My favorite of the Charlotte Holmes novels so far! 4.5/5 Stars! And finally I finished Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas! Really enjoyed that! I haven't solidified my rating yet. But it'll be either 4.5 or 5/5 Stars. I also started the audiobook of Royals by Rachel Hawkins but I'm only about 2 chapters in. I'm aiming to read Always and Forever, Lara Jean by the end of the weekend (and the month) so I can have an even 12 books read. So that's my reading plan this weekend. 

It's been another quiet week. Finally got over the sickness on Monday. So I'm happily feeling much better than last week. I got to making a physical calendar for October so I can write out my planned reviews. I know I could use google calendars but honest to god I suck at checking digital ones. LOL. I'm doing good with the one I made though. And I have the first 2 weeks of October filled with reviews already! Woot! On the flip side, I have no idea what I'm putting on my TBR for October. Tune in Monday to find out what I choose! LOL. But for real. Only know for a fact like maybe 4 books I'm gonna read. Other than that, its up in the air. I'm trying to do a themed month. So I need to see what I have that would fit into a spooky/paranormal/halloweenish theme. 

Also, on the topic of Halloween, is there any Halloween themed content you want to see? I love October so I'm all for fun Halloween themed ideas! :D I do have a recommended reads post ready for this week filled with books you should read in October (cuz Halloween theme, duh). LOL. 

Also, REGULAR SEASON HOCKEY STARTS AGAIN THIS WEEK!!!! I'M PUMPED!! The Sharks recently acquired Erik Karlsson from the Senators and I am thrilled to see what he's gonna bring to the team!! And OMG. I just checked the app and hell yes, first Sharks game of the season is gonna be on NBC Sports Network. I'm thrilled we actually get to watch the game instead of just listening to it!!! :D :D :D Can you tell I'm excited for hockey guys??? :D

90% Raw

I have been working on going raw for over a week now. Seems minimal, but I feel pretty good. So far. I did experience a HUGE day of food withdrawal. Sadly it was at work. LOL My poor boss. I lost it before lunch knowing I was going to have to eat my healthy lunch and all I wanted was crap. It was horrible. I was literally nuts for 20 minutes. Him pushing me to eat crap is what helped me choose to eat my healthy lunch. Ironic, huh? About two hours later, I felt the relief of normal again . (well semi-normal) So far I have struggled the most with making my lunch for work. I have to start making it the night before because I keep hitting snooze til I am running late. Damn. I have to get to sleep earlier. I am trying to leave leftovers in an easy to sort out container that I can just grab and go. My favorite part is grocery shopping. lol And enjoying my meals once I sit down. I am realizing that I am eating much slower and really tasting my food. I still read while I eat, but I notice I am...

Book Review: Unseen by Stephanie Erickson

Title: Unseen The Unseen Trilogy Book 1 Author: Stephanie Erickson Publisher: Pickles Press Publish Date: November 19, 2014 Goodreads Amazon It has been quite the ride this week with fantabulous book after fantabulous book!! Stephanie Erickson kept me in the book hangover with The Unseen. Mac has always been odd because when she was a little girl she realized she could read others thoughts. A doctor provided her with iLs. Mac wears this device on her ears. It plays music and drowns out the thoughts of others allowing her to concentrate. Ever since she was little, she has always wondered why she has this ability and if she is as alone as she feels. One day she sees a man watching her and from there, things change. She has hard choices to make and it will always change her. I am looking forward to the following books in this series to see if Stephanie Erickson develops the others in the Unseen that appeared occasionally while Mac was in training. I am so enamored with the back stories of...

Title: Imitation Clone Chronicles #1 Author: Heather Hildenbrand Publisher: Accendo Press Publish Date: March 12, 2013 ebook, 272 pages Goodreads Amazon It is funny how there are so many times during life that I feel like everyone is exaclty like me and I am like no one.
