Filling the Shelf – 242

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 all!

Hope you all had a great week! It feels like spring here, and while I do love the snow, it has felt good to go out with lighter coats and hats.

I did some really good reading this week, as well as reviewed two books, one great and one okay, respectively : The Lie Tree and My (not so) Perfect Life.

I also got a huge mailbox. This wasn’t planned, but then my preorder for The Hate U Give arrived two weeks early (already read, with review coming, and it was great!), and Kindred went on sale on Audible. I’ve wanted to read Octavia E. Butler forever, so I couldn’t pass on it. Then I was gifted We Are Okay (I love Nina LaCour, so this was a very pleasant surprise!) and I had to get The Swan Riders after finishing The Scorpion Rules. I’m planning on being a tad more reasonable this week – fingers crossed!

  9. Looks to me like you have some very thought provoking books in this group. I’m not sure “happy reading” fits these titles. So instead I hope you enjoy your reading and have a good week.
