Giselle’s Stacking the Shelves [Jan. 26]

Posted by Giselle • 33 Comments

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews featuring the books we got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week.

How is everyone this week? It’s been pretty quiet for me. Just letting winter pass along I guess. So me and Jenni both have birthdays in February and we’ve been talking about doing an awesome giveaway to celebrate. Let’s see what we can come up with >.< As for my haul this week I got a very gorgeous packaged book in the mail which apparently is old news now (they save us Canadians for last – but you all know what that means ;), and then a few ebooks I was very excited for! Let’s take a look and I’m back to binge-watching TV this evening – I love lazy weekends! (Anyone else watching Hart of Dixie? So addicting!)

THIS WEEK’S BOOK HAUL:

That’s all for me this week!
