Sunday Post - 145 & Stacking the Shelves - 103

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

This week was a little bit of a roller coaster. The hormones are kicking up. You guys, I've cried three times this week! And I'm not a cryer! Two of these were from frustration over a training class I'm in. (We're learning C#.) And another one was over a span of two One Tree Hill episodes that were just really sad. Reading wise, I finished two books this week which is my goal for the year (2 books per week), but I'm still not where I should be. I'm not going to be too hard on myself though because I'm making progress in the right direction. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good about this past week. And look at all the beauties I received this week!

Goodreads description--The first book in a new trilogy from acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Rae Carson. A young woman with the magical ability to sense the presence of gold must flee her home, taking her on a sweeping and dangerous journey across Gold Rush–era America.

Lee Westfall has a secret. She can sense the presence of gold in the world around her. Veins deep beneath the earth, pebbles in the river, nuggets dug up from the forest floor. The buzz of gold means warmth and life and home—until everything is ripped away by a man who wants to control her. Left with nothing, Lee disguises herself as a boy and takes to the trail across the country. Gold was discovered in California, and where else could such a magical girl find herself, find safety? Rae Carson, author of the acclaimed Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy, dazzles with this new fantasy that subverts both our own history and familiar fantasy tropes.

Walk on Earth a Stranger, the first book in this new trilogy, introduces—as only Rae Carson can—a strong heroine, a perilous road, a fantastical twist, and a slow-burning romance. Includes a map and author’s note on historical research.
