 Hello all!  Yes... it's Sunday, not Saturday, this week.  But we're still stacking our shelves, even if it's a day late!  I do hope that you join in the fun still!  Leave a link to your own Stack in the comments section below.

I've been busy, busy, busy with the end of my grad school semester and with getting the nursery and layette all set up for the upcoming arrival of Baby J.  It doesn't leave much time for reading!  Work has also been busy, but fun.  Here in North Carolina, we just kicked off the annual NC Science Festival.  Two weeks of science fun for all ages at all different places!  Today my library branch did a big science afternoon with ten different activities throughout the building.  One station was a beekeeper!  Fascinating.  A few years ago I read both The Fruitless Fall and Scouting the Divine- both feature bees, and they were really captivating.  I recommend Fruitless Fall if you're interested in learning more!  (Scouting the Divine focuses on Christian theology a bit more than on honeybees.)

Since my last turn hosting Stacking the Shelves, I've brought home a bajillion (maybe closer to two dozen) infant and children's books for Baby J, which I won't list, and three books for me.

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys (ARC)- I loved Between Shades of Gray, so I have high hopes for this one.  And isn't that a cool cover?

I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High by Tony Danza (library)- My aunt, who's book recommendations I always trust and take, recommended that I read this.  I work with teens in an informal education setting (library), so I might "recognize" some "my" teens in here!

Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud (library)- I really, really liked the first book in this series... but it's losing it's shine for me.  I'll finish this third book, but we'll see if I pick up the fourth.  I do love how snarky the djinni is, but the plot is kind of plodding and the human main character isn't very likable.  Doing this on CD during my commute.

And you?  What did you stack on your shelves this week?  Leave a link in the comments!
