So I have a slightly bigger haul this week but still not too bad. I did get a few physical arcs but I'll hold off until next week (primarily because I don't have pics yet and I'm feeling lazy). I did have to run to the library and I kid you not, the minute I returned I got an email notification that the other book I had reserved was in! Oh well, I have 7 days to pick it up.
So I picked up "Seven Days of Us." I've been seeing it around this holiday season and from what I understand it centers around family dysfunction and the holidays. One of my favorite movies of all time is "The Family Stone" which sort of has that vibe going on so I was anxious to give it a try. Plus, for some reason I enjoy reading about families that are more dysfunctional than mine.
And from Netgalley I received a few books for review. I've had good luck with Jennifer McMahon books and "The Invited" a ghost story so I think it will be good. "For a Good Paws" is the 5th in a cozy series I really like from Midnight Ink so requesting it was a no-brainer. And finally how cute does "A Dog Called Jack" look?
So there you have it - ghosts, crazy relatives and cute dogs. What did you add to your shelves this week???
I love The Family Stone, such an under appreciated movie😁 Looks like some good new books, I've been seeing The Invited around, I'm very curious.
ReplyDeleteI may just end up watching it again before Christmas. I've read The Night Sister and really liked it and keep meaning to read more McMahon. I know my library has Burntown and I keep meaning to check it out.
DeleteYou'd think they could have told you about the other book while you were in the library! I added nothing to my shelf this week! It's a bit of a miracle but I doubt that'll last more than one week!
ReplyDeleteYou would think. I'm guessing it was in processing and we crossed paths. It's still annoying though.
DeleteBoth my husband and I enjoyed The Family Stone, great movie. I added Bring Her Back by Jeff Strand. Talk about dysfunctional, the protag's father was a serial killer, eeek!
ReplyDeleteI need to read some Jeff Strand so I'm off to check out that book. Thanks for the recommendation!
DeleteHope you enjoy your reads! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks I am sure I will!
DeleteThe Family Stone's awesome, so yeah hopefully seven Days Of Us will be too. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!!
So far it's pretty good but there's only 4 of them. I'm a tad confused.
DeleteI guess your library wants to make sure that you come back to visit soon. I am curious about The Invited. I hope you have a great week and enjoy all of your new reads.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's probably part of their evil plan!
DeleteJennifer McMahon is an author I've been curious about for a while, I just learned about The Invited a few days ago. Hope it will be good!

I really liked The Night Sister. More atmospheric than horror but still pretty good.
DeleteI liked Seven Days of Us - hope you do, too!
ReplyDeleteThat's encouraging. I'm about 45 pages in so far.
DeleteOoh, I need the Jennifer McMahon book, too.
ReplyDeleteYes you do!
DeleteThe Seven Days of Us looks good. I read a couple of the Linda O. Johnston books and they are good. I have to catch up on the series. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMy post is here.
I want to read her Paranormal series but this dog one is pretty adorable.
DeleteI still love the cover of The Invited. I would love a print of the artwork without the font to frame for my bedroom. I have added A Dog Called Jack to my DDOS TBR! 👍✨
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week! 🌞
Oh it would be a great print!
DeleteAll of your books look good. Of course I'm drawn to The Invited. Eerie cover!
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
Yep, eerie is always good.
DeleteSeven Days of Us does look like a pretty good one. I'll look out for your thoughts. Have you read This is Where I Leave You? That is a fun dysfunctional family story. Happy reading!

No I'll have to check that one out.
DeleteSeven Days of Us looks interesting for the season. Not the usual cozy kind. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't think there's anything cozy about it - at least not so far.
DeleteI was road tripping, so I didn't do a Sunday post, but I did share a post about being a virtual asistant.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Oh, road tripping sounds fun!
DeleteThe library has called me the minute I've driven away on several occasions. Sometimes I think they wait until I've checked other books out. I hope you enjoy these new reads.
ReplyDeleteNow that's awful timing. Luckily I live close.
