New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {127}

For New Shelf Goodies, I'll be showing you what lovely books I acquired this week, whether from publishers, or the library, or from whatever half-crazed book-buying binge I happened to go on. :D (Inspired by Tynga's Stacking the Shelves) The Weekly Nutshell will be just that...my week here at Stories & Sweeties, in a nutshell. (inspired by Ginger @ GReads and her recaps at the end of the TGIF posts)

Mailbox goodies:)
Until the Beginning by Amy Plum
First book ended on a such a cliffhanger--looking forward to seeing what happened!
The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West
I haven't had a chance to read this author, but I've heard good things!
Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider
 This looks really good! Also an author I haven't read yet.

Many thanks to Harper Collins for these! 



The Weekly Nutshell
{Friday}Review & Giveaway: Made You Up by Francesca Zappia

Well I was still sick for most of this week, but I think I've finally kicked this cold. :) Feeling much better now.  Still reading Rook---its not a fast read by any means, but its really good.  I did need an alternate read for when I was in the mood for something light-hearted (something Rook is definitely not lol) so I started Pip Bartlett's Guide to Magical Creatures also. Had a lovely Mother's Day despite still being sniffly! Lots of Doctor Who gifts (hehe, my kids know me so well!) and a trip to Bouchon Bakery for some super yummy pastries and cookies. 

Hope you're all reading something fabulous this week! :D
