So this in gonna be a combination post. The last two days I was busy at work (and out of town) for the yearly conference we throw each year. It was in a neighboring town and was a lot of work and driving. But, it's over and I have 11 glorious days of Stay-cation planned.
The pups are fine but the weather is crazy. It doesn't know if it wants to be warm, cold, sunny, cloudy or rainy - all in a three day span. We watched a new Amityville movie the other night, "Amityville: The Awakening." It wasn't horrible and I've always enjoyed Amityville movies. We will probably be Netflix-ing it the next week or so because a new season of "Longmire" started, "The Punisher" has started, and "Frontier" Season 2 starts next Friday.
Since I just posted my November Musts & Mights, I won't show pics of my planned reads but I'm currently reading "Canal Day Calamity" and next up are "Rolling in the Deep" and "Truants."
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. And it now has a new co-host where individuals can link up as well - Marlene from Reading Reality. Clicking on the book (or title) should take you to the Goodreads page. I'm also now linking up with the Sunday Post which is hosted by Kimberly@Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
I won this Kindle box set from the HoHoHo RAT Twitter Party. Thanks Kimberly @Caffeinated Book Reviewer. They look like super cute cozies to get me in the Christmas season.
Next week I should have a library haul as well as a few books I've purchased or found for free. Hope everyone is having a great week!
The weather is crazy here too one day in the high 80s the other high of 58 and my sinuses are confused lol. Looks liek you have some goodies to enjoy though! My Shelf
ReplyDeleteYes, sinus problems can be the worst. I have lots of problems this time of year too.
DeleteYay, I love staycations! I hope you get a lot of catch up reading done, as well as TV and movie watching.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Thanks. They are my favorite type of vacations too.
DeleteI love those holiday books. I'm starting my Christmas reading now. I love staycations. I hibernate and act like I'm not home. LOL I have The Punisher ready to do and just finished the new season of Longmire. A whole lot packed into it! Have fun:)
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
I'm up to episode 3 of Longmire and I can't wait to see where it's headed. I think I'll pretend I'm not home too!
DeleteThat's so great, I could use a vacation now :) the books you grabbed look pretty cool, and congrats on winning the box set! Something nice for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
I know - an early Christmas gift.
DeleteI didn't know there was a new Amityville movie out, I loved the original. Hope you enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty decent - you need to check it out!
DeleteI'm glad you get an 11 day stay-cation after working so hard last week, Barb, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYour new books look really good, and I hope you'll enjoy them.
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

Thanks for stopping by Lexxie! Give the pups a hug for me.
DeleteI read The Broken Girls last week and really enjoyed it. I will look forward to your thoughts. Congrats on the boxed set. It is beautiful! Have a greet week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. It sounds pretty good and I'm excited to get to it.
DeleteI just want it to be winter already! I'm dying to wear sweaters and boots, but I heard it's going to be in the 90s over Thanksgiving here. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteThat's a warm Thanksgiving. It was in the 50's here today and the 30's yesterday. It can't make up its mind.
DeleteI was excited about the new season of Longmire...and ended up binge-watching the whole thing yesterday! My reading fell by the wayside, but I felt so cozy watching the final season...and sad that it is the final one. But we can always watch everything over again.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Thanks for sharing...enjoy your Thanksgiving, and thanks for visiting my blog.
I'm only on episode 3! Wish I could have binge watched it all in one day but have had too much going on.
DeleteI'm almost done with The Punisher and I can't wait until Frontier comes back on. I love Jason Momoa!! Enjoy your days off and Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteWe're up to episode 5 on The Punisher. So far so good and I'm actually starting to like the actor who plays him more than I did when he was in The Walking Dead.
DeleteEnjoy your stay-cation! I can't wait to get to Longmire when I feel like actually paying attention to something. :) I hope we both like The Broken Girls!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Week in Review
We're always grabbing the same books. Hope you are feeling better soon!
DeleteEleven days off sounds glorious. I'm looking forward to a five day weekend next week. The Broken Girls looks intriguing, and I definitely plan on getting some Netflix time today. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteNatflix&Books
Hope you enjoy your time off as well.
DeleteOoh hope you like Rolling in the Deep- it's pretty good. I just started Into the Drowning Deep and so far, so good. And I watched the first episode of the Punisher last night- not sure how that's going to turn out but hopefully it will be good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your stay- cation! Those are the best. :)
I think it gets better as it goes along. Glad you hear you are liking the Mira Grant books.
DeleteThe weather is driving me nuts. I just really want the cozy chilly weather already. This back and forth with hot and cold is making my head hurt...literally from sinus issues! :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Stay-cation! Those are the best!
Have a great week, Barb! Happy Reading! ox
Thanks Michelle. Gonna have to plan my COYER reading some while I am off.
DeleteNice haul! I hope you'll enjoy all the new books you got! Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn!
DeleteThe weather here is crazy too. I got rain/snowed on when I was running on Friday, but today it was warm. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I haven't seen any snow yet - thank heavens!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm behind on visiting blogs but plan on catching up this week.
DeleteIt's certainly cold here! Every morning I'm shivering as I wait for the fire to heat up. Wish I could stay in bed with the new duvet!
ReplyDeleteStaying in bed sounds like a plan!
DeleteI see some great books. We just had a cold snap come in and I am not happy . :-(
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental Sunday Memes
I totally relate!
DeleteThe weather has been all over the place here. On Saturday it was 70, then I went to my daughter's football game and it was sleeting. The temp dropped 40 in a single day! Enjoy all of your new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSorry it took so long to reply. I'm sure you know how hectic things have been lately as it seems like you've been swamped too!
DeleteLooks like a great book haul, and the Cozy Mystery Collection could be a great start on your 12 Books of Christmas Challenge reading! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week. - Katie
I gotta figure out my TBR for that challenge soon.
DeleteI have been super busy too at work and with NaNowriMo so Sorry for the delay visiting! Enjoy your 11 glorious days of Stay-cation! I hope you get tons of reading I would start with the Broke Girls :) I'm a big fan of the Amityville movies. I even visited the house once! I'll have to watch that movie!
