Stacking The Shelves #130/Sunday Post #62

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! Pretend She's Here by Luanne Rice Captured by Alvin Townley More book mail from Scholastic. Thanks Scholastic! They both sound pretty interesting.  Spectacle by Jodie Lynn Zdrok So I got a request approved on NetGalley! Thanks Tor! It's pretty much a YA murder mystery that takes place in 1887 in Paris! The whole idea behind the book gives me a Stalking Jack The Ripper kind of feel so since I enjoyed that, I decided to request this!  Well, I didn't post a thing. Honestly, it's been another hard week for me. I lost what gains I was making with my depression. I spent a lot of this week curled up in bed or on the couch in tears. James came home to me cryi...

Stacking The Shelves #129/Sunday Post #61

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! Lety Out Loud by Angela Cervantes Last of Her Name by Jessica Khoury The Moon Within by Aida Salazar So more book mail from Scholastic this week! Thanks Scholastic! I actually squealed a little when I opened the package with Last of Her Name! I've actually been super excited about it and even thought about requesting the ARC. So I'm really happy I got one unsolicited. It's a retelling inspired by Anastasia but set in space! For those of you who don't know, the whole Anastasia legend is part of  how my daughter got her name. So I'm super into things based on it! :D  November Wrap-Up & December TBR 2018 Dystopia Reading Challenge: December Link...

November Wrap-Up & December TBR

So November wasn't that great of a month for me. Not much reading got done. I was pretty busy with holiday planning and birthday party planning. But also as the end of the month came around my depression really started to set in. The past week or so has been really hard on me and thus far, it hasn't got much better. It takes time for me to come out of a bout of depression when it sets in like it has. But I'm here, and I still want to socialize with you guys. I'm just not promising a lot of reviews for December. Sometimes I get lost in reading when I'm depressed, sometimes I can't focus on it for the life of me. So we'll see how things go. What I Read This Month: Obsession (Arum #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout (4/5 Stars) Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg (3/5 Stars) Journey To The Black City (After: The New Earth #1) by Keith Mueller (4/5 Stars) A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi (5/5 Stars) Dirty Little Secret by Jennifer Echols (2/5 Stars)...

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...
