Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Marlene of Reading Reality. It is all about sharing the books that you have recently added to your bookshelves. These books can be physical books, ebooks and of course audiobooks.

Hello!

It was my birthday this week and I was very lucky and received some lovely books. I can’t wait to get reading them all.

She Says She’s My Daughter by Lauren North – Has sat on my wish list for a very long time so I was really excited to finally receive a copy to read.
Cleopatra’s Daughter by Jane Draycott – Is another book that has been sat on my wish list for a very long time.
Jane Austen’s Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney – I was so excited to receive this from my wonderful husband and I can’t wait to read it!
Feminist History for Everyday of the Year by Kate Mosse – This was another book that I asked for for my birthday and I was so happy to receive it from my in laws.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – Another birthday gift from my wonderful husband. It is absolutely beautiful and I can’t stop looking at it.

Happy Reading

Stacking the Shelves: 20/9/2025

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I have had one new book this week which was another preorder from Waterstones.

This is a new author for me but the story and format it is written in intrigued me so I preordered it.

I’m really excited to get reading Hekate by Nikita Gill.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Bought Because…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For more info please check out Jana’s blog.

This is my first Top Ten Tuesday! I have followed these on people’s blogs for quite a while now and so I thought I would give it a go. This week’s theme is ‘Books I Bought/Borrowed Because…’ However, I haven’t borrowed any books recently so I’m just focusing on books that I have bought.

Books I have Bought because they are pretty.

I love pretty books hence why I have several copies of the same book!

As you can see some of these are sets. I will be honest I collect different editions of The Lord of the Rings and I can’t resist a pretty Christmas book.

Books I have Bought because of blogging

Since blogging and reading other people’s blogs I have bought quite a lot of books that I wouldn’t usually buy for myself. This has been great because I have discovered some fab new authors and genres.

Books I have Bought because they contain cats

I must admit I buy books that contain cats because of my husband because I am a dog person but I still read all the cat books and recently I seem to have bought a lot more cat books than dog books.

So there is my first Top Ten Tuesday. Please drop me a comment with the link to your TTT and will check it out. Also please drop me a comment if you have read any of these books.

Happy reading
