In My Mailbox [47] / Stacking the Shelves [3]

This week you'll see I have a nice blend of fiction and non-fiction for MAYBE the first time ever. You can thank Nubby for that. :)


Pregnancy books! I got them from the library! 

Recommended to me from my coworker and friend and mom, Jaime.
It's like all the advice you're looking for, but are afraid to ask. HOLLA.

Recommended to me from my cousin and mother of two, Candice.
I like the idea of a guide for after baby is here. Because let's be real, I have NO CLUE. But will be finding out! :)

Andrew wants to make our own baby food. I'm really on board with that idea. 

This was one of the top selling baby related books, so I thought I'd give it a whirl!
I also like that it bridges pregnancy to the baby.

Books from the lovely Heidi at YA Bibliophile!
Seriously, she rules.

Um yeah, the co-creator of Twin Peaks wrote a YA book and I am ALL ABOUT that.
Also prep school meets supernatural elements and a male main character.
Yes. All to all of it.

There's been a lot of buzz about this book, so I'm sure you already know it's about weaving time - literally. It sounds really neat!

Shadow Society! An alternate universe! Dark secrets! Yay!

That's it for me this week!
BUT I would love to know if you've read any of these and what you thought.

Also if you have any baby/preggo books to recommend, that'd be great too! 

AND in case you missed it from the blog this week:
I gave thanks for some really amazing authors.
I reviewed Gone Girl. Kinda.
I nerded out. A couple times. About GOT of course.


Happy reading, y'all!

    Oh my gosh I looove your new books! I ADORED The Paladin Prophecy! The characters are amazing - you'll love them! And the whole thing is like Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson meets Dan Brown.. totally cool!! I hope you love it. :)) Also Crewel was a great read! There's nothing else quite like it out there.

    Aha I love that mix! Maybe if you read enough YA books baby will pop out loving them and then you can read baby YA bed time stories and then you get to look after baby WHILST sticking to your own books ;)

    Maybe not...

    Still a chance...

    I quite enjoyed Crewel and I can't wait to read The Shadow Society, so I hop you love them as much as I did/will!

    Check out my haul!

    I'm still so excited for you and the new bebe! If I ever have a baby I will probably borrow/buy every single book out there (but that's what us book nerds do, right?!) Enjoy your YA books as well :)

    Congratulations again on the baby! I am SO EXCITED for you and your mister.

    Also, I loved Crewel, even though I did have a couple of issues with it. I can't wait to see what you think!
