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!

  • Review: A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #4) by Ransom Riggs
  • New Releases: Week of August 13, 2019
  • Review: Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack The Ripper #2) by Kerri Maniscalco

The Avengers Movie

I don't remember ever going to a Midnight showing of a movie before. As a child, I was too busy swimming to actually think about doing things that took me off my schedule. As an adult, it just never seemed important enough. I always knew I could go to the movie later in the week and without all those people. However, we put together a small group to go see Avengers. I still almost backed out. I am just not a late night person and I have been exhausted this week. Truly squeezed dry. Got there almost two hours before the movie started. Two hours! And the line was already wrapped a few times around the movie theater. We were lucky though because one of the people in our group had cousins who had been there since 4pm. FOUR! That's six hours waiting in line. We gathered together hanging out in this enormous crowd of people. The occasional eruption of screams due to costumed people and recognition of friends arriving. And there were a lot of costumes. Grown men and women wearing The ...

August Wrap-Up & September TBR

So August has been my best reading month so far. Not nearly close to where my reading is usually at, but its getting back there. I did enjoy most of the books I read this month. So that's some good news. Books I Read In August: Library of Souls (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #3) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #4) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) The Deceivers (Vale Hall #1) by Kristen Simmons (5/5 Stars)   I finally got caught up on the Miss Peregrine's series! And I really enjoyed books 3 and 4 more than the first two. I don't know what it was, but I was just super in the mood for them and really enjoyed them. I also finally read one of my ARCs. Guys, you know how far behind I am. So this is a good thing. Lol.  Night of Cake & Puppets (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2.5) by Laini Taylor (4.5/5 Stars) Red Rising (Red Rising #1) by Pierce Brown (5/5 Stars) Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron #1) by Ashley Poston (DNF) I...

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...
