Filling the Shelf – 83
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday or the more recent Stacking the Shelves, 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 the two hosts!
Happy Monday all!
Hope you had a great week, with some great reading too! The holidays are fast approaching but I have managed to do some good progress on my “catching up to 2013” project! I even added more books to my selection, just in case I need variety!
Additions to my shelf this week are virtual. I’m really excited about these! I also had some from Penguin Canada, but only downloaded them today, so I’ll feature them next week.
The Pretty One by Lucinda Rosenfeld (I had read some good things about I’m so Happy for You, so I was excited to get a chance to read The Pretty One. Plus, I like sisters stories!)
The Aviator’s Wife by Melanie Benjamin (Read Alice I Have Been and really liked it. This one takes place between the late twenties and the sixties, and the context seems interesting.)
The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord (Science-fiction novel with aliens. It’s been a while since I’ve read something similar, so I’m totally up for it!)
Cover of Snow by Jenny Milchman (I discovered this one last week in a Mailbox Monday post, and was immediately curious about it. A mystery in the tradition of Gillian Flynn? I’m in!)
What did you add to your shelves recently? Have you read one of these books?
I really like the look of The Aviator’s Wife. Hope it arrives here soon!
Enjoy your reads 🙂
As one of six sisters, I’m curious about The Pretty One – the cover made me laugh (sister humor).
Happy Monday! Enjoy your books!
They all look quite good. I have read THE AVIATOR’S WIFE…you should enjoy it…very interesting.
I like THE PRETTY ONE and COVER OF SNOW too…looking forward to your reviews.

My Mailbox Monday
These all look good. Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
Congrats on catching up on your reads! I have seen The Aviator’s Wife around, but the others are new to me. Hope you enjoy them! Here is my Monday post.
I got The Pretty One too – isn’t that cover fantastic?! The Aviator’s Wife looks really good to me as well.
I’m curious about The Pretty One. Being the oldest of 4 girls, I love sister stories. Enjoy!

Such gorgeous covers.
All these titles sound great, and I would love to read a few of them! I’m happy that you will get to experience them this holiday season!
Gorgeous books! Cover of Snow looks very intriguing, and I like the sound of The Pretty One. Sisters are the best. Happy reading!
Nice mailbox. They all look great. I’m always up for a good science fiction novel… I’ve added The Best of All Possible Worlds to my list. I have Aviator’s Wife too and Cover of Snow should be arriving any day now.
