Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature co-hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality. It is a chance to showcase all the goodies you've collected throughout the week, whether they're bought on-line or in-store, an ARC or a final copy, borrowed from a friend or the library, physical or digital, etc. Never has my addiction been more obvious than when I am now keeping track of every single book I acquire.
I totally went on a bender Tuesday night and requested tons of books from the library (all from my TBR, no worries). Plus, I have gotten some reviews done, woohoo. Spring Break has been very productive and I don't want it to end!

What did you add to your stash this week?
Happy Reading!

Ooh The Dinosaur Artist looks pretty good! Like the sound of that. I feel like there have been so many advances in palentology that I'm hopelessly behind. I'll have to take a look and see more what it's about. Also, Yes We (Still) Can- hmm. Pfeiffer wrote that huh? That could be interesting...
ReplyDeleteThe World As It Is looks good too, I'm afraid to read it though- it will drive home even more how much we've lost lol.
I finished Pfeiffer's book already. I was surprised that it was as good as it was - I no joke gave it five stars. I am not sure what to make of him, even after all this time. Definitely give it a chance if you have room in your reading schedule, you might end up being surprised too!
DeleteI have tons of paleontology books on my TBR that are newer. I am still kind of stuck on this whole 'dinosaurs had feathers' thing though, because raptors are not infinitely less terrifying if they look like birds. They'd still rip my guts out...but they're just not as scary.
Nice to see you're intending to have more 'light' reading in the future! [lol]
ReplyDeleteThe only one on that list I've read is the Mary Beard book. I'm looking forward to your review on it.
Only one for me this week (I know!)
We Want to Negotiate: The Secret World of Kidnapping, Hostages and Ransom by Joel Simon.
ugh, right??!! But there are so many really great books on my list that have just come out in the last two years, or just within the last few months. You will not be shocked to learn I have added We Want to Negotiate to my TBR.
DeleteI thought that one might appeal to you. It's less than 200 pages so that's a couple of hours reading for you isn't it? My Amazon Wish List is brimming with 'off the wall' books. So I apologise in advance to you and your TBR List.
DeleteOh yes, a couple hours is all I would need. I am very fearful of what your Amazon Wishlist will do to my TBR. I'm telling Chuckles it is ALL YOUR FAULT! lol
DeleteWho thought this was a good idea hasn't been on my radar but I might need to check that out.
ReplyDeleteI have added and deleted it from my TBR a few times, but then it was mentioned in Yes, We (Still) Can by Dan Pfeiffer, which is up there ^^ and right now I just so deeply miss the previous administration that I need to pretend for a while that it's not done.
DeleteNot one book in this week but next week will be an avalanche due to books requested at the library and books ordered. It has been great reading all your reviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy, I appreciate that, and I appreciate you coming around. I have to apologize, whenever I went to your blog, your last review from January was what always showed up, so here I was stupidly thinking you had not posted anything for weeks! I am not sure how the problem corrected itself, so I have some catching up to do on your blog. Sorry!
DeleteI appreciate you taking the time to catch up. And glad to know the problem corrected itself! Lately the internet has been driving me crazy with odd glitches.
DeleteNo problem, of course! I thought it was so strange and then I refreshed a few times and finally the new posts showed. No idea what that means, I have never had that happen before. Facebook has been doing weird things on and off for the last two months or so, too. I will have notifications, but when I click the icon, nothing new comes up. But when I look on my phone instead of my laptop, they're there. And (again on my laptop), chat boxes do not show right away, they show up a few hours after the person sends the initial message. Technology is dumb!
DeleteI preordered the second Firefly novel, but I think that's it. I have a $15 amazon gift card from surveys I've yet to use, though I'm mostly leaning towards "A Bright Future", on the potential for solving climate change.
ReplyDeleteI want Amazon gift cards for taking surveys!! How did you get that gig??
DeleteI just use a website called YouGov. If you're interested, let me know -- they do a thing where if you're invited by a current member, both you and the current member get bonus points once you start taking surveys. Basically, a couple of times a week a survey is available (on current events and consumer products, mostly), and you get points for each survey. Typically, I can cash in for a gift card every few months or so. It's a nice treat. :)
DeleteYES I WANT TO DO THIS!!! I have LOTS of opinions about EVERYTHING! lol
DeleteLibrary bender - I love it. I guess you could say I've been on an Overdrive bender recently too. I'm sure they'll all come in at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely the best kind of benders, I must say!
