[Stacking the Shelves] - #45

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and is all about sharing the books you are adding to your bookshelf, be it the physical one or your digital one!     It's been a while hasn't it. I apologize for being gone for so long. Work called and my hours got changed. I have been working on and off, doing split shifts, and training a new girl. While the light is appearing at the end of the tunnel, I am not sure how much longer I will have to work both days and nights. Either way I am hoping to get back to blogging and sharing reviews. Furthermore, I want to try to update a

However please, PLEASE do not insult or degrade anyone else.Featured Discussion:     I wasn't sure what was going on with the new genre, and I wanted time to take a look at it.

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and is all about sharing the books you are adding to your bookshelf, be it the physical one or your digital one!     This week I have been busy. I started writing Transplant again, and while I would love to do more with the blog I just don't have the time like I used to. I want to finish that book and start on a second. I have the idea mapped out, need to figure out the two characters, more or less etch in the final details. I am going on vacation this weekend so I won't be around to answer any questions regarding books this wee

[Update] - 8/20/2013

     I recently went to Chicago and while on my visit I paid a visit over to Anderson's Bookshop. If you ever get the chance I would pay them a visit, if you are an avid book fanatic like me. Normally I would be joyous and excited to have paid them a visit, but this time was slightly different. It may be mainly my fault more so than theirs. I went last weekend and while I was there the selection of signed books was rather slim. I mainly had a few of the books, and I didn't want to rebuy the books just to get a signature.  I tell myself I should, but I don't have the money
