Stacking the Shelves #72 (September Book Haul Part 2)


The last two weeks have been exhausting! And unfortunately, I had to pull away from blogging, reviewing and social media in order to catch up on fall prep and sleeping! Because of this, I have become addicted to pre-posts for Book Releases, Cover Reveals, Excerpts and more, lol! I love these kinds of posts, especially cover reveals, and I haven't been able to help myself... but because of my lack of energy and overabundance of what some bloggers call "fluff posts", I am now behind in my reviews. I have about 18 reviews sitting in drafts... anyone care to proofread them for me??? :) 

(Luckily, I had some time while uploading my book haul and have 8 reviews ready to go next week!) 
Woo hoo!!!


Here's my book haul!!!

 My big boys no longer want to amuse me :(
