Filling the Shelf – 50
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday (this month hosted by Metroreader) or In my Mailbox (created by The Story Siren ), but with a title that suits my blog 😀 If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, I invite you to visit those two awesome features!
Happy Monday everyone!
I’ve been really excited about the books I’ve added to my shelf this week. Well, of course I am always happy when new books join the older ones, but sometimes it’s just a little happier, you know?
Reason one for happiness : a collection of essays by one of my favorite authors on one of my favorite subjects : Écrits sur l’art, or “writings on art” by Émile Zola. I usually don’t mention my French additions to the shelves on this blog but this one was just too great to ignore! I had been wishing for such a collection for a while but every time I thought to look for it in a bookstore, I couldn’t find it. I grabbed this one as soon as I saw it, and there might have been some uncontrolled giggling at the time…
Reason two for happiness : the Man of the House brought me book shopping and added three books to my shelves! The Night Circus, which I have read so many great things about, and Witches of East End and Mathilda Savitch, two books from my wishlist that were both on sale. I always love to find unexpected great deals!
The Night Circus by Erin Morgensten
Écrits sur l’art by Émile Zola
Witches of East End by Melissa de la Cruz
Mathilda Savitch by Victor Lodato
What did you add to your shelves recently? Have you read one of these two books?
I’m getting ready to start The Night Circus for the Indie Lit Awards — my expectations are definitely high! It seems to be a favorite among bloggers. Can’t wait to start, and hope you like it, too!
I hear The Night Circus is fantastic! I have yet to read it but will one of these days! I hope you enjoy your new reads!
I absolutely loved The Night Circus! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.
Enjoy your new books! I haven’t read The Night Circus yet, I’m hoping to get to it soon.
The Night Circus was such a great book, and I am so glad that you are were able to grab a copy! I will be excited to see what you think!
I’ve heard a lot about The Night Circus, enjoy!

Ooh so excited about The Night Circus, and you know that all things Zola makes me super happy!
I hope you enjoy The Night Circus. I wasn’t a fan of the story itself, but Morgenstern’s writing is absolutely beautiful.
Book shopping is definitely reason for happiness. It looks like you found some treasures.
no, I haven’t read either of those books. I hope you enjoy them.
I hope you love The Night Circus!!
I want to read all of these!! Happy Reading 🙂
