Hello everyone! I am back after a much needed break. Let’s just say that my job last week was wide open and crazy. It sapped every spare ounce of energy that I had. So no blogging. That’s okay. Everyone needs a break now and then, and now I am feeling enthusiastic and ready to face a new week, starting off with a “Stacking the Shelves” post, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.

I’m still trying not to buy too many new books, at least not until I read the ones I have, but then I saw a sale at Amazon. A bunch of their Kindle books were only $1.99 and $2.99. How could I pass that up? Especially when I saw that two books I’ve recently added to my TBR list were among the titles? I couldn’t. In fact, I’m proud of myself for only buying two: Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake and Mind Games by Kiersten White.

My other acquisition over the weekend was thanks to my mother, who happened to find a brand new used book store in town. I haven’t been there yet, but she says that it’s awesome. Since she knew I was reading some of the Mercedes Lackey Valdemar books, she bought Oathbound, the first book in the Vows and Honor trilogy. It was on clearance for only $0.50. I must go visit this used bookstore sometime. Soon.
