Stacking the Shelves (98) Doesn't Everyone Buy Themselves Birthday Gifts???

Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves or TBR piles, may it be physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a physical store, online, books you borrow from the library or friends, review books, gifts and of course, ebooks! The original meme was started over at Tynga's Reviews.  Clicking on the book (or title) should take you to the Goodreads page. 

So first I need to show you the awesome gift I broke down and ordered for myself for my birthday.  Now Mr. Barb and the pups ordered me an awesome Boxer necklace (which hasn't arrived but which I will showcase as soon as it does) but I was looking for an excuse to justify ordering this so I found one (it really isn't that hard to do is it?)  Look at all the awesomeness.  I have never read any of this series so I'm hoping I like it. Then again, it's King so the chances are really good!  And they are trade paperback size to boot!

Next I received a few books for review. "The Witch's House" is a reprint of a book written in 1963 and it sounds pretty interesting.  "Curse of Stars" is for a blog tour and I read the first Henrietta and Inspector Howard novel last year and loved it so I was thrilled to be approved for "A Ring of Truth."

Finally, I was weeding out the Amazon wishlist and grabbed a few for my kindle as I noticed they were either on sale or much lower than originally priced.  Guess that will teach me to do something I think will be helpful in the future. "The Nose Knows" sounds like a cute mystery I've had my eyes on for some time told from a dog's perspective.  I saw "Dollhouse" advertised for $.99 and the same for "Only the Dead Know Burbank."

So what did you add to your shelves this week???  Have you read any of these???
