Filling the Shelf – 179

Filling the Shelf simply is Mailbox Monday, 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, click away! (but beware, visiting other mailboxes will probably add to your neverending wishlist!)

Hello dear readers!

How was your week? We had a fantastic summer weather here for our long weekend. We explored out of the city and received friends for a casual barbecue dinner, and it feels great to have Monday off, too!

This weekend I also finally posted a review. I keep thinking I need to be better at them, but I hadn’t felt really inspired to write them recently. I did have fun writing one for Maine though (spoilers : I loved it!)

I also added a few books to the shelves, of course. I’d been waiting long for Second Life, and I can’t wait to finally read it. The reviews I’ve seen made it sound good!

The Truth and Other Lies by Sascha Arango – For Today I Am a Boy by Kim Fu

Second Life by S.J. Watson – Pines by Blake Crouch

And another book to my coloring book collection; I love Millie Marotta’s work and I was excited when my preorder arrived a week early! (and now, no more new coloring books for a while…)

  1. Glad you’re enjoying the holiday weekend! Tropical World looks like a fun coloring book- I love birds so that one is tempting. I’ve been meaning to read For Today I am a Boy and have heard great things about it.
    Hope you enjoy all your new reads and your Monday off!

  2. For Today I Am a Boy sounds really good to me. I’m not so great at coloring but am thinking of hosting a coloring party so I can watch others at work and see if I can pick up some tips.

  3. ENJOY!!

    Second Life and Pines look scary.

    Have a great reading week.
