The Secret

Stacking The Shelves #137/Sunday Post #69

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!


So I've just been hearing amazing things about With The Fire On High and I saw a copy at the used bookstore and knew I had to grab it. And I finally got a hardcover of the new covers for the Shatter Me series!!! I'm so happy! 


My first ever wish granted on NetGalley. I'm freaking thrilled! This is one of my most anticipated books of 2019! Thank you so much to NetGalley and Wednesday Books! :D :D :D


I got The Crown's Game and The Last Namsara in audiobook form because I heard the audiobooks for them are great. And the ebook for To Kill A Kingdom finally didn't have a huge amount of holds on it so I was able to get it.


So a lot has happened in the past month. Me and Jeff split. It was more a mutual thing. There's no hard feelings. We just work better as friends and he's still my absolute best friend in the world. An ex that I hadn't talked to in 7 years came back into my life. And it's actually kinda cool. There was never anything bad between us when we broke up. We just broke up cuz he moved away. So reconnecting with him has been a lot of fun actually. We're actually kinda back together. Idk, we just get each other in a way others don't. I also went to my first baseball game. It was a Diamondbacks game (obviously living in AZ).

I haven't got as much reading as I wanted done this month. I have got more than halfway through at least 3 different books. But I lost the charger to my book light which sucks because I do most of my reading at night. So I need to have a serious search for that. But otherwise things are good.

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...

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...

Review - Crushed by KC Blake

Title: Crushed The Witch-Game #1 Author: K.C. Blake Publisher: Createspace Publish Date: July 30, 2011 Paperback, 262 pages GoodReads Barnes and Noble (Nookbook $2.99) Amazon I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but it was on sale, it had some pretty good reviews amongst the blog world, so I thought I'd give it a go. Oddly enough, it was lots of fun. I really enjoyed it. These girls have a game they play every year. They pick boys that they can "crush" which equates to blowing witch dust on them and controlling them. They make fun of them, they play tricks on them and basically make them their slaves. It is cruel, but they don't seem to realize. Until they crush the wrong guy. Zach is a boy with special powers as well. But how long will Kristen try to play with him before he unleashes his fury? Summary - The Noah sisters rule Titan High with their beauty, brains, and magical powers. Each year they play a secret game: Crushed. The girls pick their ...
