Stacking The Shelves and Sunday Post

This meme is hosted by Tynga over at Team Tynga's Reviews, which she describes as follows:

"Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, sharing with you our excitement for our newest titles and maybe have you discover a new book in the process!"

Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received. Share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead. See rules here: Sunday Post Meme

We got another dump of snow on Monday night, and it was light and fluffy but deep. It's easy to shovel, but it won't stay put. Our winds gusted to 90 km/hr, and then our temps dropped to -45 degrees Celsius (that's -49 degrees Fahrenheit) with the windchill and there was ZERO visibility on Thursday. Here's what it looked like on Tuesday morning with the fresh fluffy snow:

That's my picnic table buried under there. You can't even see the bench anymore!

Now we are in a warm-up! It's currently -15 degrees Celsius (that's 5 degrees Fahrenheit), and we are supposed to reach +1 degree Celsius by Thursday. Isn't that crazy?! But you realize what that means? Yes, more snow! Another 20 cm is expected next weekend.

I have added a TON of audiobooks to my TBR pile, and most of them were free!

"Shane" gifted me with more audiobooks through Audible:

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles

The Autobiography of Charles Darwin by Charles Darwin
