Stacking The Shelves [47]

Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, is all about sharing the book you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual.

What I purchased last week:

I was doing really good at the beginning of the week – I purchased only two books, but then my willpower went to hell. lol

Most of these books were on sale for $0.99 or $1.99, except for two at $2.99.

Re-writes on my next book are going slowly. I think I used a little retail therapy to feel better.

What I purchased last week:

While all these books were on sale, I did purchase a few over my normal sale price. I mean, look at some of the beautiful covers, not to mention all the great reviews!

I did manage to restrain myself a little on the free books.
Here are a couple of books that are still available:

What I purchased last week:

I managed to contain myself this week and purchased only three books. Apparently, reading cures the need to purchase new books. Go figure!
Two were $0.99, while one was $3.99 – I couldn’t resist getting Ink and Bone.

I did pick up a few free books. The books below are still available for free:

Movies….The Huntsman!

There were a number of movies that came out recently that I wanted to see, but I never made it to the movie theatre. I’m still pouting about it a little.

DeadPool and Divergent are some of the most recent. I couldn’t talk anyone into going with me. I could go alone, but I live in a smaller area. There are chances that I could have the whole movie theater to myself or worse, that one creepy stalker guy. Um, no thanks. I’m not that desperate…Yet.

I’m really looking forward to The Huntsman:...
