I've been in a kind of funk lately (for no real reason except my Mother is driving me nuts) and as always, I 1-clicked a tad. I also had some review requests come in and then requested two additional books from First to Read. As you get to the bottom of this post, you'll probably notice a theme.
Here's what I got for Paul Anka, my much loved Kindle. I saw someone mention Letters to the Damned was on sale for $.99 so I grabbed it (I'm telling you - this Halloween Bingo over at Booklikes is introducing me to so many new horror reads). Chuckles shared Fight Like a Man on her Can't Wait Wednesday feature and I decided I wanted to give it a go and then I'm on a real Hunter Shea kick so when Megalodon in Paradise was a countdown deal on Kindle last weekend, I HAD to grab it!
My physical copy of Last Dog on Earth finally arrived. I had to get it from overseas.
And finally I have a few review copies. I got approved for Barking Up the Wrong Tree and Every Dog Has His Day on the same day even though I know I requested them a month apart. And that dog on the cover of Every Dog STILL looks like a goat to me (because it has something in its mouth). Then I got Death in the Stacks which is #8 in the Library Lovers series from the same author, from Penguin First to Read.
And on a side note, look at this awesome purse/tote Mr. Barb got me! I love it and it's real leather - now I'm afraid to use it - haha!
So what did you guys add to your stacks this week???
Being stressed or in a funk typically drives me to one-click...it's like, I just don't care, it looks good and I want it! I try not to regret it afterwards :P

I have no regrets :)
Delete*screams* and adds the new Hunter Shea book to my Amazon basket! There is no way I could resist a shark book with that cover and title! Might be reading that in horror month...I think I'll be waiting until Fight Like A Man comes out in paperback or the ebook reduces a bit in price but I'm definitely going to get it at some point. Hope we both like it. My Cover Love in a couple of weeks time has dog covers. You probably have them already!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bag! I can understand you being scared to use it! I have a great GoT bag but it just sits in the house as I'm scared it will rain or something and ruin it!
Glad you know how I feel about that bag. I'm sure I'll use it sometime but with winter coming up, maybe I'll wait until spring. I just read Shea's We Are Watching and loved it!
DeleteGreat haul, hope it can help you out of that funk. Halloween Bingo has added to my wishlist that is for sure! I hope the new Shea book is good, though I am sure it will be as I haven't found one yet that wasn't interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteThat dog does kind of look like a goat with something in it's mouth...lol. Such an awesome tot!!
Have a great weekend!
Stormi
He is quickly becoming one of my must-buy authors. And finally, someone else who kind of gets the goat reference!
Deleteomg Mr is so sweet LOVE THAT PURSE!! I KNOW what you mean Barb! I would be afraid to use it too. :D I can't wait for you to tell us about "fight like a man" I'm a sucker for anything with SHTF LOL
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can make time for it soon. Really on a horror kick lately!
DeleteMr. Barb did good! Don't be afraid to use it...enjoy it :) I got Barking Up the Wrong Tree this week and the other one a bit ago. Lot of dogs and Jenn McKinlay to keep you busy. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood think I love her writing. You really need to check out the other series soon!
DeleteI understand about being driven crazy by mothers. Haha. And that leading to the urge to build up the books. It sounds like you got some great ones. Thank you for the head's up about Letters for the Damned! I just got a copy (I couldn't wait). The McKinlay books sound like a lot of fun. Love the tote Mr. Barb got you! That was really nice of him. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your new books and tote!
Have a great week, Barb!
Glad you could grab a copy. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow! Lots of great books you got this week! The Last Dog on Earth looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Stacking the Shelves!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
I love the cover for it. I'm thinking of slating it for February "puppy love" readathon.
DeleteThe Jenn McKinlay books look so good. I've added them to my wishlist. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy them.
DeleteI haven't read a Jenn McKinlay book. I should probably do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Shell's Stories. :)
The dog books are her first go at romance. They are pretty good, but I love her Library Lovers series so much too!
DeleteI click to buy on Amazon a lot more when I'm stressed, too; and my issues are usually with my daughter. Occasionally. This week was a good one, though. She and I even had a nice lunch.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
That's awesome. My Mom stopped by and my husband made us lunch yesterday too. It went pretty well.
DeleteThey all look awesome. I hope you enjoy them once you read them. I'm curious about Jen McKinlay books. I'll check out her books. Happy reading and have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun checking them out - there's quite few.
DeleteNice haul! I can't say I've heard about any of these before but I hope you'll enjoy them! Have a great week and I hope you'll get out of your funk soon! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will. Thanks Lynn!
DeleteDoggies! Looks like a good haul to me. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased with it :)
DeleteI've also been in a funk this week! Just too busy to feel alright. Your Kindle is called Paul Anka? That is the cutest ever :D (I wonder if I've said that already? I might have!)
ReplyDeleteSo many dog themed things, great haul (including the bag!) Have a great week, Barb :)
No I don't think you've mentioned it before. I named him after Lorelai's dog in Gilmore Girls. His cover has a dog on it as well.
DeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of The Last Dog on Earth. I wanted to read that one, too.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen many reviews but I'm excited for it.
DeleteAw, moms. They can certainly drive you crazy. Lol. I definitely need to get myself some scary books for Oct. I love the tote! He did good. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely the time of year for them.
DeleteLooks like a great haul. I hope you can escape your funk soon. - Katie
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie.
DeleteBooks are a good therapy! Buying books always make me happy (though sometimes I side-eye myself later). Mothers can be annoying, right? Hopefully not *too* annoying though.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all of your new books! Have a lovely week, Barb. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I love her but she just gets on my nerves sometimes. It's been harder since she's started dating after my Dad passing. I just wish she'd find a nice guy.
DeleteSorry to hear you're in a funk! I hope you can get yourself out of it soon :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH. That purse is lovely!!!
Thanks Erica. Reading has been helping the funk.
DeleteMegalodon in Paradise- I love that! Makes me want a corona maybe. :) Hope the funk lifts soon!
ReplyDeleteDeath in the Stacks looks fun too.
It makes me think of Corona too!
DeleteSorry to hear you mom is driving you crazy! I think sometimes that's all we do LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to all your horror reviews!!!
She's not so bad but I'm an only child and Dad passed about 4 1/2 years ago. She's dating now again and not making the best choices and it drives me insane!
DeleteI am trying NOT to add anymore books to my pile but you are NOT helping!! I hope you're out of your funk soon. I was in a funk over the weekend as well and didn't read a single page :(
ReplyDeleteFunk isn't too bad right now. I managed to get some reading done this weekend - hope yours picks up.
DeleteHave a super week.

Thanks Sherry!
DeleteI love Jenn McKinlay! I've read several books in the library series and really like them though sometimes the mystery isn't the strongest. The newest series is tempting me something fierce! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNo, some are definitely better than others but I do really enjoy the setting and the others in town.
DeleteCatching up on some of your posts - LOVE the new tote!
ReplyDeleteOne clicking is an excellent form a therapy :D
