Stacking The Shelves #108/Sunday Post #40

Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality as a way to share all the books we got during the week!

The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Reviewer. Its a weekly post to showcase what books you got, recap the week, and talk about what will be coming up this week on the blog!

• And I Darken (The Conqueror's Saga #1) by Kiersten White
• Now I Rise (The Conqueror's Saga #2) by Kiersten White

So I've been eyeing these books for a while since I know a lot of people seem to like them. They are currently both $1.99 for the kindle books on Amazon so I figured it would be a great time to pick them up! I'm really excited to finally start this series! :)

This week was a good reading week. I finished Strange The Dreamer early last weekend which I updated my last StS to show. It was so good guys. A 5 Star read for me. I then started Children of Blood and Bone to go along with that Read-Along and totally failed. I read the entire book in 3 hours. Guys!!!! It was AMAZING!!!! Even James was shocked at how fast I was reading it. I just couldn't put it down. Ahhhh. And I also read The Assassin's Blade this week. Definitely a good background into how Celaena gets into the situation she's in at the start of Throne of Glass. I've now started Renegades by Marissa Meyer. So far it's ok. It's a little different with the Superheroes/villians thing, but not bad so far. I'm also trying to get into Furyborn by Claire LeGrand again. I tried before release but wasn't into it. So I'm seeing if I'm in a better mood for it now. 

This was a good week. Wednesday was James birthday! He got some gift cards, and I turned in a bunch of books to the used bookstore and let him use all the credit as my gift. Cuz books duh. And he found some awesome stuff to buy with it. He found some puzzles, a few books and a Star Trek Klingon technical manual. Lots of good finds. 

We also got Ana to sleep in her own room finally! She's had her bed in our room for a while now and she showed interest in having her bed in her own room finally and so far its a success! She seems to really like sleeping in her own room now! Score!

We also have been getting a lot of rain this week. It's been so nice! Sure it's humid, but it's not 110 for once. Lol. I can handle 90 and humid. LOL. Also, let it be known those idiots that say Arizona is just a "dry heat" are seriously mistaken. Come visit during monsoon season and we are just as humid as any other state. Lol.

The only downside to this week was that I had to go to Verizon and have a replacement phone ordered. My phone started giving me this error message out of the blue that wouldn't allow me to get into my contacts, make or receive calls or even reply to texts. Literally the only thing I could talk on was Facebook Messenger. Luckily the guy at Verizon was able to get me a replacement sent to me by Wednesday since even he was stumped as to how to fix it since none of the things Google suggested fixed it.
