The Secret

Stacking The Shelves #126/Sunday Post #58

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!


I've been very excited for this! So when we made a stop at Barnes and Noble this week I grabbed a copy! And the Barnes & Noble edition has a red cover under the dust jacket. It's beautiful! There will be pics on the blogs Instagram! Ahh. I'm so excited to get into reading this! 

So I've had my eyes on this trilogy for a bit, but I'm not completely sure how I'll feel about it. So I avoided picking up copies at Barnes and Noble at full price. But I happened across these copies at the used bookstore so I decided to pick them up since it was cheaper that way. I'm hoping I'll like these though!

So I obviously didn't get much done this week. I only finished Obsession. Which was mostly enjoyable. Other than that, I've started 3 other books, but haven't got really far into any of them. I've just been a bit busy. Sorry guys. 

So obviously Thanksgiving is this upcoming week. So I've been working on cleaning the apartment for company. Also making sure we got everything we needed for food and coordinating everything with our parents. Also had to make sure our health insurance got renewed this week. That is pretty important. We also went around to some stores this week getting ideas for Christmas presents. 

I've also been deep at work making graphics for the 2019 Dystopia Reading Challenge. I've got a few different options so I've been working on doing some basic design on all of them and James is gonna help me choose which design to go with this weekend. I have to admit, after working on them, I do have 2 (out of 4 options) that I think are definitely front-runners. We'll see if James also happens to like my front-runners. LOL. But I'm excited! I'm tweaking a few things for the challenge for 2019 and I'm thinking about bringing Bingo back for it since I thought it was such a fun thing when Tracy hosted it. But yeah. Getting next years challenge ready is going pretty good so far. :) Be on the lookout for the sign-ups in early December! I'm really excited and I have a very varied TBR lined up for next year. I plan to have a lot more New Adult and Adult books mixed in with my YA dystopia's next year! 

In other news, it's actually getting cold in AZ!!! YAY! No seriously. This is really something to be excited about. Most of the time we're still suffering with 80's & 90's in November. So I'm freaking thrilled we've been getting 60's and 70's. It actually feels like fall!!!!! :D :D :D :D Most of the time we seriously just jump from Summer to Winter. So it's a refreshing change to actually have fall this year. LOL.

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...
