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!)

Good Monday everyone!

Well, I wasn’t planning on doing this post this week. But a few unexpected additions joined my other books this week, after all. Isn’t this how it always goes?

This week I got my hands on some newly released mysteries : Still Mine, The Widow  and The Guest Room, as well as slightly less new but as intriguing Wolf Winter, which combines mystery and historical fiction.

I also took the opportunity to get Alan Cumming’s memoir when it was on sale on Audible. I just love the man and I’m really looking forward to having him narrate his story for me (he’s an awesome actor and an awesome narrator, if you ask me). And finally, I ordered Thing Explainer when Chapters had an online sale. It’s as much for me as it is for the Man of the House, and we’ve already had a great time reading through it!
