Welcome to Filling the Shelf, or as many of you know it, Mailbox Monday! 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 again dear readers!

I’m being late today, but I’ve been rushing to get myself ready for Christmas! Finishing on some work, cleaning up, wrapping gifts. I’ve had a hard time putting myself into the Christmas spirit this year, but I think I’m finally getting there.

We also saw Star Wars this weekend and it was AWESOME. We already have plans to go again in a week! I think the movie did a great job of mixing old Star Wars nostalgia and modern cinema. I loved it, and all the new characters, good and bad. I also want to adopt BB8.

On a side note I was really happy to read all of your answers on my last Filling the Shelf (even though I’m really bad at replying). Our blogs are constantly evolving and changing, and it is inspiring to know how others plan to change things around. I always feel like others are better at catching up with reviews and other posts, so that was both reassuring and interesting. I’m trying to make it a goal in 2016 to get better at replying to comments and at writing reviews quickly.

Bright new books in my mailbox this week!
