I’ve been a bit overwhelmed by all the e-galleys I’ve requested lately. I feel like I’m going to have to do much better about requesting them. And I’m also going to give myself a break from them for awhile. I’ll still try to get some of them done, the ones that I know for sure I want to read. But others that I may have requested but am not so sure about now, well they’ll probably not make it through the time I have. I hate to do it, but I just have got to give myself a break. I have so many physical books I want to read right now as well, so I’m just going to chill out a bit and work on reading what I can and want to. As a lot of my requests on e-galleys are ones I know I wanted, that will still work.
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.
It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. It has been a light week for physical books. Only 3, and none were purchased!

Thanks for posting. I think I am going to do what you do and add Stacking the Shelves with the Sunday Post that is a great idea!
Yeah, I combine them when I'm going to do both for the week. Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds like you have a plan. I am reading an arc now that isn't tickling my fancy and I feel bad but if it doesn't pick up I may have to DNF it.
I know. I just have too much to read to read something that I'm not enjoying. Thanks for visiting!
Blackhearts! I think I'm interested in that one? I might give it a whirl, depends on my reading schedule! I hope you enjoy all of your new books, Lisa!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yeah, I'm really hoping I can get it into my reading schedule, it sounds like a good one. Thanks for stopping by!
Death Wish is one I won as well and it sounds like it could be a good read! Oh, and I see you have Black Hearts DD: I am so intrigued about that one, so curious!
Ah, so more than one of us will be reading it! Will be interested to see how you like it as well. Thanks for visiting!
What a fabulous book haul. I'll look forward to your reviews. 🙂

Thanks! Although I'm glad it wasn't as many physical books this time, well glad for my bookshelf anyway. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Great haul! I got Shadowshaper this week, too. It sounds really interesting. I can't wait to read Blackhearts! Have a great week!
Michelle @ Michelle's Minions
They both look really good! Thanks for stopping by!
GAH I left a huge comment and then lost it. Sadness. Anyway, Blackhearts looks SO GOOD. I am in EW Purgatory right now, fingers are crossed 😉 Shadowshaper looks good too! And 4 reviews?! Impressive! Hope you have a great week and enjoy the new books!! (This is the condensed version of my lost comment hahah)
I'm so happy I got approved for it. 🙂 I hate when I lose comments! Happened to me the other day when my school wifi was acting up. Thanks for visiting!
I requested Blackhearts! Here is hoping I get it! *crosses fingers*
Have a good week Lisa!
I'll cross my fingers for you as well! Good luck! Thanks for stopping by!
That's neat four reviews a week! I wish I read enough for 3-4 reviews a week, but most weeks 2-3 is the best I can do. That sequels challenge sounds nice, I start lots of new series each year, although this year I also managed to finish or continue some series. I also have a lot of e-galleys I still need to read, it's nice to take a break once in a while to catch up on other books. I hope you'll have a great week!
Well, one of the books was only a little over 100 pages, and I had to get it done in time for a review. Usually 2-3 is normal for me as well. Would love to have you come join the sequels challenge! A lot of my egalleys are sequels sometimes too. Thanks for visiting me!
It is very hard for me to avoid requesting galleys when the galleys look so good! I wish you the best of luck with this!

I know! It's like a sickness, an addiction! But then they pile up and I feel stress that I don't read them, so I may write them down, but not request or download unless I really want it. Thanks for stopping by!
I have a similar problem with the eGalleys and ARCs. I ask for books because they appeal to me — but when it comes time to read and review, I'm just not in the mood for "that book" right now. So far, there's only one DNF in my stack. I'm working really hard to discipline myself and avoid asking for more books than I can read.
I don't recognize any of your new books — but that isn't unusual. Problem is … new books just add to my temptation!
It helps to know I'm not the only one who does that. But I'm trying to be disciplined as well. Will have to set a specific goal about it for next year I thin. Thanks for visiting!
So I was doing a lot o ooohs and aaaahs looking at your new reads. lol. Awesome! I'm going to have to look into them a bit further on Goodreads. 🙂 Thank you!
You shoudl for sure, there are some great ones! Thanks for stopping by!
