Stacking The Shelves #121/Sunday Post #53

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!!!


It was a good reading week! I ended up getting 4 books read! 2 of them advanced copies! So I started off by finishing last weekend with Beneath The Citadel by Destiny Soria. It was a solid 4 star read. Interesting story line. Then I read Origin and Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout. The 4th and 5th books in the Lux Series. Ahhh. So amazing. Absolutely loved them. Both 5 stars. And then to finish of the week, I read my advanced copy of The Darkest Star by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the first book in the spin-off series from the Lux Series featuring Luc. And I really enjoyed that as well. Also a 5 star. Wow, I was not expecting some of those twists JLA threw at us in The Darkest Star. I'm still wrapping my head around that. 

Ana's home! She had such a good time at Nana and Granddad's but she's happy to be home. She's loving all the mommy and daddy cuddles. And being back home with all her toys of course. Lol. She's super happy being home. And she's very excited for this upcoming Wednesday. This Wednesday is when we've decided to go to the pumpkin patch and she cannot stop talking about it! She keeps asking us every day if it's time to go to the pumpkin patch yet. It's so great having her home. We loved our break but we missed her. 

And in more good news, remember over a month ago when I told you guys our microwave quit and we finally got maintenance to come determine if we needed a new one. Well our new one finally came in this week! We have a working microwave again! And this one is modern!!! Guys, seriously, the old one was from the 80's. Like it legit said on the inside, made in 1984. LOL. It's so nice having a modern microwave with buttons and a digital display instead of vague knobs and timers. LOL. And it works like 100% better than that old one!!! :D :D :D The simple thing that make you happy as an adult! Lol.

The Avengers Movie

I don't remember ever going to a Midnight showing of a movie before. As a child, I was too busy swimming to actually think about doing things that took me off my schedule. As an adult, it just never seemed important enough. I always knew I could go to the movie later in the week and without all those people. However, we put together a small group to go see Avengers. I still almost backed out. I am just not a late night person and I have been exhausted this week. Truly squeezed dry. Got there almost two hours before the movie started. Two hours! And the line was already wrapped a few times around the movie theater. We were lucky though because one of the people in our group had cousins who had been there since 4pm. FOUR! That's six hours waiting in line. We gathered together hanging out in this enormous crowd of people. The occasional eruption of screams due to costumed people and recognition of friends arriving. And there were a lot of costumes. Grown men and women wearing The ...

August Wrap-Up & September TBR

So August has been my best reading month so far. Not nearly close to where my reading is usually at, but its getting back there. I did enjoy most of the books I read this month. So that's some good news. Books I Read In August: Library of Souls (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #3) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #4) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) The Deceivers (Vale Hall #1) by Kristen Simmons (5/5 Stars)   I finally got caught up on the Miss Peregrine's series! And I really enjoyed books 3 and 4 more than the first two. I don't know what it was, but I was just super in the mood for them and really enjoyed them. I also finally read one of my ARCs. Guys, you know how far behind I am. So this is a good thing. Lol.  Night of Cake & Puppets (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2.5) by Laini Taylor (4.5/5 Stars) Red Rising (Red Rising #1) by Pierce Brown (5/5 Stars) Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron #1) by Ashley Poston (DNF) I...

Wordless Wednesday - Claire Thomas from Food for Thought

I got this recipe from Claire Thomas who hosts the TV Show Food for Thought . She is the cutest, sweetest and so far my favorite tv chef. Her recipes are so easy and she seems to have a talent for making every recipe seem doable. I actually set my alarm on Saturday mornings to get up in time to see her show (when I am not working). This past week, she featured her Australian Pasta which you should really visit her blog and read the back story to why it is named this. Funny!! I also got a wild hair and decided to make her Cream Scones . Here is the pasta sauce while it is simmering. Here is the final dish. Australian Pasta with strawberries (just finished cutting them for the week's snacks, so I threw a few in) and her scones (bc I didn't make bread). Also, Claire if you are reading this, QUESTION - On your blog recipe, you didn't specify searing the sausage and taking them out of the pan while the onions and garlic cook. But in your show, I distinctly remember you keeping t...
