The Secret

Stacking The Shelves #136/Sunday Post #68

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!


Thanks to Scholastic for both of these books! 


Thanks so much Netgalley, Inkyard Press & Random House! I'm so freaking excited to have Soul of the Sword!!!! You guys know I loved Shadow of the Fox last year and I'm sooooo excited to see where the story is gonna go!! 


So Hunted and Sea Witch are audiobooks I checked out for June since it's auidobook month! And Hunting Prince Dracula and Tales of Folk & Fey are kindle books. I loved Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series and this book has some short stories from the series! So I'm really excited to read them! :D

I'm back! I'm really happy! I finally feel the motivation to start really blogging and reading again! And I've actually been getting a lot of posts scheduled, including some discussions!!! Things are definitely looking up! 

So some updates. Ana finished her first semester of preschool. She is doing so well! The speech therapy is definitely helping her! She also got to graduate to the next level of preschool. Here's a pic from her graduation! She was all smiles! 


She's also in swim lessons, which is fantastic for her. Not only is she learning how to swim, but she's also starting to really get over her huge fear of water and that is HUGE! I'm incredibly proud of her! 

So I mentioned in my last STS post that I had started dating someone. So we started dating (again) in February. He's someone I dated in the past, but also someone that's been one of my best friends for 10 years. Us getting back together was something we both thought about and wanted for a while so we decided to. And honestly guys, its been really good for me. He is such an amazing person and I really couldn't ask for a better boyfriend, especially one as loving and understanding about everything as he is. And on top of that, he is absolutely, 100% the best stepdad I could ask for for Ana. I have absolutely no regrets about me and him getting back together. So, let me introduce you to Jeff. :D Expect to see more of him in the future! LOL. 


  • New Releases: Week of June 4, 2019
  • Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Fantasy Novels 
  • Discussion: Audiobooks!
So since June is Audiobook month, I thought I'd start the month off with a discussion revolving around audiobooks! So get ready to discuss everything audiobooks with me on Thursday! :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...
