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

And so it begins!

I've already raked up eight bags of leaves. Today, I'm hoping to tackle the closing of the pool but that will all depend on the weather. We had some rain yesterday, and it was also really windy. I need a calm, preferably sunny, day so that I don't get all those leaves in the pool.


I won these e-books in the Lazy Days of Summer Giveaway hosted by Mary @ Mary's Garden:

Watching Jenny
by Mary Martinez

Classic Murder: Mr. Romance
by Mary Martinez

Thanks again, Mary!



I snagged this audiobook for free on Amazon (unfortunately it is no longer available, presumably because it's included in this month's selection of free picks of Audible Originals which is a new membership perk):

Emma
by Jane Austen


As mentioned above, Audible introduced a new membership perk which is your choice of two free Audible Originals from the six that are featured each month. Since I already grabbed Emma before this perk was launched, I still had two more picks and here's what I got:

Girls & Boys
by Dennis Kelly

The X Files: Cold Cases
by Joe Harris

Thanks, Audible!


I bought this audiobook (70+ hours) for $0.66 on Amazon:

Oz: The Complete Collection
by L. Frank Baum

I received these audiobooks for review:

Alaskan Holiday
by Debbie Macomber

The Nightmare
by Lars Kepler
(Joona Linna, Book #2)

Thanks again, PRH Audio!
