Filling the Shelf – 246
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!
How have you been? It’s been two weeks since my last mailbox and since then, all the snow from the huge snowstorm has melted away. Work is getting a little busier again, but I did manage to do a lot of reading and write posts for a few of these books. I read and really enjoyed Long May She Reign, and later I got angry with the amazing Allegedly. Oh, this book!
And now, here we go with two weeks worth of books! So many awesome things!
First, Strange the Dreamer, which we have been looking forward to for… years? It feels like years. But it’s here, and I can’t wait to read it. I was also super excited to find a discounted hardcover copy of The Circle; it’s been on my wishlist for years, and I want to read it before I see the movie.
Getting the last two Harry Potter books on audio was kind of bittersweet. Listening to the series for the first time has felt like a completely new adventure and I almost wish it didn’t have to end – but all great things must. I do think, though, that listening to a few stand alone books after will be refreshing!
Lab Girl by Hope Jahren – The Circle by Dave Eggers – We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

What books did you recently add to your shelves?
Hope that you will enjoy all of your new books. I’m excited to see if “Strange the Dreamer” manages to fulfil your expectations.

I want to get my hands on Lab Girl – I’ve heard it’s fabulous.
The Circle does look good…and so does We Should All Be Feminists. I enjoyed In Twenty Years. Have a great week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
What terrific covers.
Strange The Dreamer looks different.
Lab Girl looks good too.
Have a great week, and ENJOY your books.

My Mailbox Monday
Strange the Dreamer is in a few mailboxes this week. I hope you enjoy it and the other new books!
Long May She Reign looks like a really good book! Strange the Dreamer looks good too! Hope you enjoy!
Nice varied mailbox haul! Funny you got The Circle. I just listened and reviewed the intro that was a free Audible a few years back. I have never finished the HP series – but I would listen to them on audio for sure. Happy Reading!
Strange the Dreamer just arrived for me at the library and I’m sooooo excited about it! And I just finished reading/reviewing In Twenty Years. It’s a good one.
