Well hey! I'm baaaaaack! I guess I haven't really been gone, per se, since there have been blog tour posts, but I haven't been doing my regular schedule. I keep saying I'll be back to regular, but hopefully this time it's real! I have a good supply of posts scheduled already, so there won't be that pressure, and I can keep up with being ahead and with commenting. We'll see! :)


Fair warning: There's a lot! It's been over a month since my last STS, and I have a problem.

And can I just say a ton of Julia Quinn books? I got the rest of the Bridgerton books, plus the first one or two of a couple of her other series. I got a couple more than are here, actually, but I've read them and passed them on already... I love her. Maybe too much. I've already pushed her books on my store manager and a couple of customers.

Gifted:


My ACOMAF pre-order tote! I looove it. :D

So that's been my week (month?)! Are y'all exhausted? I am! I told you it would be a lot, and it was more than I expected! I've got a lot of reading to do. :)

On another note, those pictures look so good on my phone and then I move them over to my computer and they look...not so good. For once I had good lighting, only to have grainy pictures anyway. Sigh. I guess I need to start using my real camera again, huh? 

Have a lovely Sunday and a fabulous week!

Review: The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry

Release date: January 26, 2016 Author info: Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Razorbill Pages: 400 Format: ARC Source: Gifted Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves.  Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start…until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right. That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s ...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to share the books we've bought, been gifted, or received for review! Hii! Nothing much exciting going on for me this week, just the holiday meeting at work this morning. I used my last bit of vacation and visited my best friend this week, and we spent too much money. Oops. :) ANYWAY, on to the books! Purchased: Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson (signed! YAY!) Scandalous Desires by Elizabeth Hoyt Notorious Pleasures by Elizabeth Hoyt Traded: The Dark Days Pact by Alison Goodman I am more than a little bit excited to have this in my hands, y'all. I LOVED the first book. But I'm pretty sad about the new cover direction. I wish they'd stop doing this. I also got this super fun promotional package from Swoon Reads! I did a happy dance when I saw what it was. I love that tote! Books I read this week: The Sun Is Also a Star   by Nicola Yoon I'm currently reading: Notorious Pleasures b...
