Filling the Shelf – 98
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!
Hello hello readers!
Books came in this week as well as… boxes, so that I could pack them again!
Yup. You read that right. I am getting ready to pack books again, because we are moving in June. Again. It’s a long story that kept us on our toes from January to March, but now everything has been decided and we are leaving this (sort of new) apartment that we love, for a condo that we love even more! We are also very excited to finally be making the transition from renters to owners, right on time for the year of our 10th anniversary! Yippee!
But, back to the books (that’s why you’re here, aren’t you?) Of all of my books, I’m pretty sure Joe Schreiber is in the top 10 for best title! The blame for this one happily goes to Tales of Whimsy. As for Gulp, it was a must-have for me : I read Stiff by Mary Roach a while ago so I can’t wait to read her new book about food-related topics. And Life After Life has been everywhere in the past weeks, and it sounds so good! It will be my first Kate Atkinson novel (and I also like the cover). As for the three other books, they are recent YA releases that received nice reviews from blogger friends. Can’t wait to crack them open!
A Corner of White by Jacklyn Moriarty / Au Revoir Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber / Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson / Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell / Gulp by Mary Roach
What did you add to your shelves recently? Which one do you think I should start with?
Congrats on your condo! How exciting! At least this will be a permanent move, right?
You have some great looking books that came in. Enjoy reading them!
Going Vintage looks like fun! And I definitely want to get to Life After Life….enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Oh, and congrats on the new condo! Moving is difficult, but when you have a place to go to that you’re excited about, that helps….
Going Vintage is what you should start with – just because I love that cover!
Congrats on the condo, I hope you love it even after you move in =)
Here is my Memes bookish post. Have a great week!
Congrats on buying a Condo!!
All your books look interesting, I hope you enjoy them all!
Nice selection! I think I’d start with Life after Life – but just because it made the Women’s Prize long list and I am working my way through that list! Otherwise, any of these look great 🙂 Have a good week!
Life After Life is in my mailbox also. I have seen many great reviews for it. I hope we both enjoy it.
I gotta try E&P!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Crazy European Chick!
Gulp and Life After Life will be mine in a few days, and I am very excited!! It looks like you got a great stack of books there this week, Kaye, and I hope that you enjoy them all!
Yay congrats on your condo purchase- how exciting! It’s no fun to pack and move but it will be awesome to unpack and decorate, right?
Eleanor & Park is so good! And Life after Life and Going Vintage are a couple I have my eye on.
Enjoy all your new reads!
What wonderful news about your new condo! Life After Life and Eleanor and Park are so good!
Eleanor & Park sounds amazing! Had never heard of it before – guess I’ll have to give it a try now (:
I got A Corner of White too and since I love Moriarty’s writing, I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the book. I hope you enjoy your purchases.
