The Secret

Stacking The Shelves #143/Sunday Post #75

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'm super excited about my holds on the first two coming in! And I'm super excited I was able to find A Gathering of Shadows available in the audiobook! I really enjoyed A Darker Shade of Magic in audio last year and kept meaning to get around to listening to A Gathering of Shadows. 

So I definitely felt like this week was a good reading week! I've made more progress on Nyxia Uprising. But I did put that aside temporarily to listen to some audiobooks from the library that are due at the beginning of the next week. I finished Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs. Definitely my fave out of the Miss Peregrine's series thus far. This weekend I'm conquering A Map of Days and Hunting Prince Dracula since they are due at the beginning of next week. I really feel like audiobooks have helped me get out of the slump I was in. I'm just enjoying them so much! And quite honestly, as you can tell from the past few weeks of posts, my library has a pretty good selection available. 

This week has been interesting. I've been researching apartments for me and the boyfriend to move into. Lets just say I overheard some serious shit talking about me and him and we're no longer interested in staying where we are currently due to it. I'm just done. I know a lot of you have seen the bullshit I've been dealing with since January and I'm just not having it anymore. I'm done dealing with drama. My mental health has taken a serious dive this year and its time I get to fix that and be in a situation that's gonna make it better, not worse. And being in my own place with someone that's actually trying to be supportive and encouraging is definitely going to drastically improve it. Sorry if that was a bit ranty guys. It's just its been a week. But on the brightside, at least having a place of my own again will mean I actually get to unbox and use all my stuff which has just been sitting in boxes since April. I'm excited for that!

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...
