Have you seen the social media posts going around where you ask 12 of your friends to give you a book recommendation to read this year?? Well…I did it!!
Here’s the recommendations I received…
Have I started any of them yet? No…haha. Prince Harry’s book just came out, you can’t blame me yet!!
I did get Push from the library so it is in my possession!!
Are you doing this challenge? What do you think of the 12 books that were recommended?
I haven’t done a Stacking The Shelves post since FEBRUARY!!!! I honestly just try not to collect too many books that often, maybe a couple a month. Nothing that would warrant a weekly post. This past month I have obtained quite a few books so I thought I would showcase what I got (and who knows when I’ll read) the books I got this month. I originally stumbled across Stocking The Shelves on Jill’s Book Blog (check it out). This is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality. Here’s what they say about it…
Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!
Here’s what I got this month…
Let’s start at the bottom and work our way to the top…the bottom 4 hardcover books I got through my local library. Look at the prices on those bad boys, how could I pass those up?!?! If they didn’t have books for sale by the entrance maybe I could restrain myself better, but I could not pass up these books!! Plus, I’m helping to support the library! It would have been rude of me NOT to buy them! Haha.
I have had Come Back For Me on pre-order for awhile now. A lot of you overseas (I’m in America) had access to this book way before I did and your reviews were all so AMAZING that I had to pre-order it. Thankfully this pre-order went through when it was released in the US. You may know I was worried about in my Pre-Ordering Books post!! PHEW!
Not My Daughter is another one that has been making its way around book blogs lately and honestly, I will save that one for when I want a good cry. As you may remember I like to put some books in my cart on Amazon and when my husband buys things he’ll usually get one and SURPRISE book mail for me! Haha.
Say You’re Sorry is my most recent Goodreads Giveaway win!! The only downside is it is a mass paperback book and I really just do not like reading those. They’re small and so compact. I don’t mind paperbacks, just the mass market ones. Had I know it was a mass market paperback edition I probably wouldn’t have entered. Oh well…but the likelihood of me reading that book is way down on my list…unless you all say to suck it up and deal with it because it’s an amazing book.
So that is it for this Saturday’s Stacking The Shelves. I had an unusual month of buying books so I felt it warranted a post. Next week I will probably go back to Top of the TBR because I do NOT need to be buying any more books for awhile; however, I will never stop adding to my list of books I want to read!! Happy Saturday!! What books have you bought lately or have added to your TBR list???
Here’s my usual blurb about today’s post…I stumbled across Stocking The Shelves on Jill’s Book Blog (check it out). This is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality. Here’s what they say about it…

I bought 1 physical book this week and I am SUPER excited about this one. There have been a LOT of mixed reviews (it’s either a people hate it or people love it type of book) and I am ready to read it for myself and form my own opinion. Here it is…
Goodreads Summary
10:00 a.m. The principal of Opportunity High School finishes her speech, welcoming the entire student body to a new semester and encouraging them to excel and achieve.
10:02 a.m. The students get up to leave the auditorium for their next class.
10:03 a.m. The auditorium doors won’t open.
10:05 a.m. Someone starts shooting.
Told from four different perspectives over the span of fifty-four harrowing minutes, terror reigns as one student’s calculated revenge turns into the ultimate game of survival.
I look forward to reading this one. Have you read it? Thoughts? I’m so proud of myself for only adding one new book to my collection this week!
