Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Marlene ofย Reading Reality. Itโs 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, books for review from authors, Netgalley, Edelweiss or publishers,ย gifts or books you won.ย If you click on the covers, it will take you to Goodreads.ย
I am trying, apparently not very hard, to get my TBR down to a reasonable level, but it is a struggle. This week I added one book for blog tours, as well as several books by some of my favourite authors. This was also the week I receive several audiobook ARCs from a publisher. I am looking forward to all of these books.
Netgalley: 12 Books, 2 Audiobooks
Blog Tours: 1 Book
Audiobook from Publisher: I received 12 total, but only 3 are new additions to my TBR
Library (Libby, Hoopla, Cloud Library): 1 Audiobook
So, this week, I added 13 books and 6 audiobook for a total of 19 additions ๐ฎ. I still have 23 books/4 audiobook pending between NG and EW. Last week I added 11, so I added a few more this week. I am on track to read or listen to 12 novels/audiobooks this week, so my TBR mountain range grew a bit. ๐๐
What did you add to your shelves this week? Do any of these books appeal to you?

You certainly did stack the shelves this week, Carla, but I can see why. That’s a lot of great reading lined up. I hope your “shelves” don’t tip over.๐คฃ

Thanks Lynne. The problem is that my ratio doesn’t change. I add every time I finish something so my backlist never gets smaller. Oh well, lots of good books to read.

Great haul Carla. I’ve just requested the Robert Bryndza, and I have the Karin Slaughter. I love the sound of The Dark Tide, but it’s published this week and May is already overflowing with reads for review, so I am sitting on my hands. Enjoy your reads!โค๐

Aw, thank you! I hope you do! This particular one is the 5th in a series of 6 so I probably wouldn’t dive in with that one but I hope you have a chance to try one of the others. They’re all on Kindle Unlimited, there are 6 in Audible Plus if you’re a listener, and the 1st in my Starfish Cafe series, Snowflakes Over The Starfish Cafe, is in global prime reading if you’re in any of those programmes ๐
