Stacking The Shelves #123/Sunday Post #55

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!


Yeah, so obviously I was buying Kingdom of Ash this week. LOL. The better question is who didn't?? LOL. But I also got to pick up another October release I really wanted as well! I'm so excited to read it since it's got such amazing reviews. 


So this week I got another surprise package from Scholastic with another middle grade novel. It sounds really interesting though. So I definitely think I'll give it a try. 

So this week I haven't finished anything. I know. Shame shame. I started two book, just didn't finish them yet. LOL. So I've been reading One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake. I should be done this one this weekend. I also started Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas! I'm about 200 pages in so far. I was hoping to be farther, but I woke up with a migraine both Thursday and Friday. So my reading has seriously suffered. As long as I don't wake up with one either day this weekend, I'm gonna try and have myself a mini-readathon to get myself caught up on my reading that I was trying to get done this week. 

This weekend/upcoming week is gonna be fun! Me and Ana are gonna bake Halloween cupcakes. And we're all going to carve our pumpkins Sunday! So I'll definitely have pics next week. And of course Halloween itself is Wednesday. This year is going to be Ana's first year trick or treating. And mine and James first time being parents taking a kid out for trick or treating. LOL. Should be interesting. We're hoping Ana has a lot of fun. She also gets to go up to the front office on Halloween to get candy. They have a certain time every Halloween for all the residents kids to come up and be treated to candy. And we also heard Quiktrip is going to be giving out ice cream cones to kids 12 and under who come in in costume. We have 2 on our side of town so we might treat Ana to that before going trick or treating. Kids are freaking spoiled aren't they?? 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...
