Stacking The Shelves (Reading Reality) and The Sunday Post (Caffeinated Reviewer) are both blog memes about sharing the books we’re adding to the shelves and sharing news of the week ahead.
New PurchasesA rare week without buying a book, and odds are I can stretch that into 3 weeks, what with vacation coming up the first week of December . . . but then Trudeau has promised to remove the HST/GST from books through the holidays, so I don’t expect my abstinence to last long.
