Jenni’s Stacking the Shelves [July 13]

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews featuring new additions to our bookshelves.



Hello Blogosphere! I feel so out of things when it comes to blogging lately.  We got a big pool for our backyard two weeks ago and have been having some really hot weather ever since so I’ve been doing tons of reading but have been pretty absent online.  Adding to me being absent is my addiction to the World Cup, but that will come to an end tomorrow.  I can’t wait for the big game, I’m hoping I get to see my Germans take home the title. And I am not even going to get into my addiction to Hay Day and how farming has taken over my life because that would just be too much!  I did get some goodies in the mail this past week and that is what I am here to share, so here we go!

I got a signed (and personalized) copy of the new A.S. King book from Lyn and Kara of Great Imaginations.  These ladies are so freaking awesome and while talking to me on Twitter in Kings line at BEA, Lyn decided that she would get her copy signed for me and Kara mailed it out to me.  I really can’t thank them enough, I am so excited for this one and it’s going to be a favourite on my shelf for a long time to come!

 As I mentioned last week, I won a Kindle Paperwhite from Pop! Goes the Reader and that came this week (props to Amazon.ca’s super fast shipping!) Thanks to Jen for hosting the awesome giveaway (and for picking the right winner 😉 )

What have you added to your shelves lately?

    What an amazing win! I’m hoping to buy a Kindle Fire soon but my money is eaten by birthdays at this time of year. I managed to save up enough to buy my partner a Kindle Fire and made him an amazing Discworld themed case, I’m so excited to give it to him. And a little jealous of my own birthday gift!

    Ohh, that’s so cool! YOU WON A KINDLE! I would love to win a kindle, just because I read on my iPod and the teeny tiny screen? Ugh. x) Haha! I should just read on my computer! Yay for pools in hot weather though. I know how that feels.
    My Stack!

    Yay for a big pool.. it’s probably heavenly in the summer. Especially since I hear you guys have been getting pretty warm weather! 😛

    Also that kindle looks GORGEOUS! 😀

    Wow! Well done on your win!! The World Cup has been eating into my reading time too. Unfortunately my favourite teams (Italy & Portugal) went out early. 🙁

    What an awesome week, Jenni! I never, ever, ever win anything anymore. It kinda sucks. Hopefully I can find time to enter more giveaways one of these days! Yay for the signed A. S. King book!! I still have a few that I need to read … mainly, Ask the Passengers, which I’ve heard is amazing. 🙂 Hope you have a great week!

    Congrats on winning a Kindle! That’s very exciting! I have yet to read an A.S. King book but I’ve heard so many amazing things about her, I probably ought to do that.

    I’d say you had a very lucky week! I know you will get lots of use out of your kindle paperwhite. I have the kindle fire, and I use that baby practically every single day. I still love my physical books though by far.
