Stacking The Shelves

7:01 PM | Posted by Angie

This is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we share what books we have recently added to our physical or virtual shelves.

Amazon

Amazon had one of their lightning deals going on (while I was at work nonetheless) Daughter of Smoke and Bone box set. It's normally like $54 and they had it for $24. Yeah I had to have it. Well I needed that free shipping so I grabbed A Thousand Pieces of You. The cover....OMG! It's so much prettier in person.

Books-A-Million

I was talked into Zodiac by Erin @ The Hardcover Lover and Tika @ faNGIRLconfessions . They were tweeting about it and it got me very interested in it. We were going on so much about that Romina Russell tweeted us! That was super cool and very unexpected to say the least.

That is all for this weeks Stacking the Shelves!

The Friday 56

3:01 PM | Posted by Angie

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
*Post it.

Then a dark blur knocked the man sideways. The two grappled on the pavement, swearing at each other. She heard the sickening sound of fists meeting flesh. The dark blur scrambled to his feet, glancing at her. It was Kurt. A cut under his eye dripped blood.

I haven't finished this book yet. But I think this is a pretty good paragraph from it. Enjoy!

.....And I'm back

10:25 PM | Posted by Angie

I deleted my old blog. I wasn't feeling it. Now I'm missing it so I'm bringing it back. This time a little more simple and basic. I don't need anything fancy. I want some place to put my monthly tbr, book hauls and such. I'm not real big on "reviews" still. I may do very basic ones. I just want a fun place to do things with books. Oh wow that sounded dirty. Never mind that! Last time I felt like I wasn't a true blogger because I wasn't doing much on the review front. Is that really necessary for a book blog??? Maybe I guess. For now it's just going to be the fun stuff. If I feel inclined to do a review I will. I will do the reviews my way. Like I said, nothing fancy or formal here. So sit back and relax...good times to come.
