Stacking the Shelves #11


Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and 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!



So Pretty Little Liars was free on Amazon apparently, and I'm not sure I'll ever read this, because it's not my type of genre, but you never know! Thanks Paula for bringing this freebie to my attention though!

And then Slaughterhouse-Five was only $2 on Amazon as well, and it's been on my TBR forever. I'm not even sure what it's about, but I've always wanted to try Kurt Vonnegut! Thanks Paula! (again)


Guys, guys I got a library card finally!

Though I only borrowed one book, simply because the number of ARCs and my own books I want to read is a lot. And plus I have college work to do. Boo

But I get to finally read Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas. That should be exciting!



My life has gone back to normal, so that's a relief.

Actually, I had a very good week starting from Wednesday on, and the weather right now is gorgeous, which is very hard to believe seeing that it is almost October (Winter is coming...)

Though I have been very, very busy the past couple days. My schedule is literally, go to class, work at the Baby Lab, go to another class, work at the Baby Lab. Go home at 5pm (or 7pm on Mondays), lay in my bed like a lump, start homework, study, WATCH PSYCH, attempt to read, pass out.

But working at the Baby Lab is the best job ever! I work as a coder, which means I get to listen in on family conversations at home, and transcribe them on the computer. No, I'm not a spy, the infant baby has a microphone attached to him/her, and I record everything he/she hears. Like objects. SO YEAH. GO INFANT WORD LEARNING.

Also I see babies and toddlers coming in the lab on a regular basis :D

On another note, Dre @ Sporadic Reads is looking for a co-blogger! Here's the link if you're interested!

How was your week? Feel free to link up STSs! I'm so glad my life is back to normal haha.

YAY for Dangerous Girls!! If it helps, I don't have a library card either. It's shameful, I know. I am thinking about getting PLL since it is still free... but do I really need a book that I likely will never read? No, I am trying to stop myself. (We'll see if it works!)

Your baby lab job sounds SO great! ALL the babies! Plus, who wouldn't want to listen in on people's conversations!? Do you think they act weird since they know you're listening? I love hearing about your job :)

Hope you LOVE Dangerous Girls! It is... insane!

Wow, what an incredible job Val. Seeing all the babies come through babbling their little baby talk, I'd be so incredibly clucky going home each day. I don't have a library card, to be honest, I have no idea where my local library is even located. We have one somewhere. Ahh, I've got Dangerous Girls too, I need to slot in a read during the week. It's been the one book everyone has pushed at me this year, so really want to see what all the fuss is about. Nice haul this week Val and have a fabulous week <3

Pretty Little Liars is so my thing. :) I've read the first book and actually own it, but although I don't have a Kindle, I definitely wasn't going to pass up getting the ebook for free. Thanks for the heads up. :D The writing's definitely not challenging, but it makes for a good summer/autumn read.

Yay! I recently got my library card reinstated (along with a new one) since I kind of had some dues on it… :) Dangerous Girls! Yay! I'm reading the book, although I'm not far into it yet. I read a huge spoiler though, which is so upsetting because it basically ruins me reading the book. :( I'm still excited to read it though.

The Baby Lab sounds really fascinating actually! Wow, your schedule really is busy. I hope you're doing well with it all, that's a long day. My week's been okay. :) Have a great week.

Library card? Score. I love the library! Happy reading!

Yay for the library card, having borrowed Dangerous Girls (loved it!!) and acquired Pretty Little Liars. Please do end up reading it: it's so intriguing. ^^

Library card! :) :)

I picked up PLL too. Not sure I'll read it either, but you never know. Worth it! Also, Slaughterhouse Five is a great book. I hope you enjoy!
