That's it for my shelves and recaps of my past and upcoming week. What did you add to your shelves this week? Any bookish news you want to talk about? Let me know!
I liked your Top Ten Tuesday list, though it kinda seems wrong to say like considering the topic. I've only read three of the books on the list, but I will have to check the others out. I hope you enjoy both of the books you got this week.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books. I hope you have a fantastic week.
