  • You can set your post any way you want, simple book list, covers, pictures, vlog, sky is the limit!

  • I am posting Stacking The Shelves on Saturdays, but feel free to post yours any day that fits you.

First I got a surprise from Tor books,
Royal Street by Suzanne Johnson [Amazon | Book Depository]
& I won a copy of
Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong [Amazon | Book Depository]
over at Moonlight Gleam’s Bookshelves!

Also, many of you asked for Lily-Ann updates so I’ll post pictures of her every now and then ^^

    1. Yay, I really got it! I actually did a pretty embarassing happy dance when it arrived! ;) Tomorrow, I'm taking the whole day off just to read it!
      The Selection is even more beautiful than in the picture. Sadly, my sister has snatched it again before I could stop her. She's reading it right now and loving it. I wonder when I'll get it back to read!

    Royal Street is waiting for me to open its pages too, but other books are calling louder at the moment. ;)

    @Christine I haven't read any of these books, but I have been considering the Divergent Trilogy. I might just try that one. :)

  42. What a cutie pie!! Daddy looks so proud and happy, awww. Loved, dressing up my little girl in dresses and girly clothes, enjoy doing it! Pretty soon she'll be telling you what she wants to wear...:p


    I started Royal Street but didn't get too far.. It started off fine, but I wasn't into the whole hurricane thing (long story). Great selection from Christine's pile. Slated is something I need to look up, never heard of it. Thanks!

    1. Well I hope she likes Winnie the Pooh because I have a lot of that lol

  43. Oh, my - I so love that baby-stage when all they do is snuggle on your chest all day long (and nurse and poop!). Ahhhhh, that is my favourite stage.

    Royal Street is on my Wishlist, and I really must get to the Women of the Otherworld series!

    Slated looks good, too - so I'm adding that one to my Wishlist. I already have The Selection and Insurgent on there.
