Stacking the Shelves – May 2025!

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! And audiobooks. Don’t forget audiobooks!

In other words, if you can read it or if it can be read to you – no matter how you got it – it belongs in Stacking the Shelves.

The Stacking the Shelves meme was originally hosted at Team Tynga’s Reviews. It is currently hosted by Reading Reality.

TTT – Summer Freebie

Top Ten Tuesday is featured by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Topic: Summer Freebie

I tried to pick books that remind me of Summer…maybe they have a summery cover or they are about summer or have elements of summer things in them!

Maid’s Secret – nice yellow cover!
Great Big Beautiful Life – features a beach
Courting of Bristol Keats – cover reminds me of a summer cottage!
Emily Wildes – beautiful summer flowers
Januaries – lovely red, summer cover
My Killer Vacation – a holiday that goes wrong (or right!)
Beach Read – speaks for itself!
It Happened One Summer – has summer in the title!
Moti on the Water – that cover!
Golden Dynasty – a setting sun coloured cover!

 

What books would you choose?

The Sunday Post! It’s been rereading heaven!

The Sunday Post is a blog news meme hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer  It’s a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog and showcase books and things we have received.

I hope you had a great week!

Hello June!

‘Far up in the deep blue sky, Great white clouds are floating by; All the world is dressed in green; Many happy birds are seen, Roses bright and sunshine clear Show that lovely June is here.’ ~ F. G. Sanders

‘In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.’ ~ John Steinbeck

Happy June!

Have a great month!
