Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks. Don’t forget audiobooks!
In other words, if you can read it or if it can be read to you – no matter how you got it – it belongs in Stacking the Shelves.
The Stacking the Shelves meme was originally hosted at Team Tynga’s Reviews. It is currently hosted by Reading Reality.
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all having a wonderful day and a fun weekend. My weekly trip to the library was very fruitful. I took back four books, had two waiting on hold for me and then I was able to snag another book that I have been wanting to read for awhile now. The last one was one of those ‘ready reads’ which is something my library system does with popular books. What they do is they order extra books that are really popular, but don’t add them to the holds books. They are listed differently in the catalog and they have a special shelf where they hang out. Anyone can pick it up when they see it. I’ve had this one on hold for a few weeks and my number was 50 out of 20 books, so I wasn’t going to see it anytime soon. So this was a stroke of luck. I almost never leave the library without checking out that special shelf!
Library books I have added to my bedside stack
So Thirsty just sounds like such a great twist on vampires. I really liked Cackle a couple of years back so I am willing to give this one a try.
Home is Where the Bodies Are is a book that I saw a review of and knew I had to read. It is about family secrets and where all of them are buried.
Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books also sounds like it will be quite funny. I love the idea of someone switching out the books in one of those free library boxes with banned books. I read the first page and I am already excited to read it. This is the book that I just found hanging out on the ‘ready reads’ shelf this week.
ARCs I’ve added to my Netgalley account
No new ARCs this week. I have been trying to cut back on my ARCs a bit and one of the ways I do that is trying not to go an look for books every week. I am trying to be a bit more selective and make sure that it is something that I will like. I have had way to many that just didn’t work for me this year.
It looks like my spooky reading season is off to a good start with two of these books. I am looking forward to seeing what you all have added to your stacks this week. Until next time…
Confessions of a Serial Reader 
I’ve been really good about not requesting so many ARCs this year and I’ve felt much better now that I don’t have so many to read. That certainly sounds like a great visit to the library. My city centre does something similar but you’re only allowed to borrow those books for 7 days instead of the normal 21 to keep the stock moving around.

Yikes! only 7 days! Well that would be an incentive to get it read first. Ours used to have it so that you could renew it after a month, even if there were holds, but that seems to have changed recently.

So Thirsty sounds so great and I have been wanting to read Cackle but didn’t realize it’s the same author! Wishing you a Happy Scary Reads time 🙂
