Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews where bloggers discuss the books that they have borrowed from the library or bought to add to their shelves. I personally think it's a fabulous idea, so shoutout to them!
I went to Chapters today, just to relax because who doesn't love relaxing at the bookstore?! Then I saw such an incredible deal that I needed to take advantage of! Three books for ten dollars!!! 3 for $10! What an amazing deal. So I decided to go ahead and pick three books! I got 1984 by George Orwell, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli and To Have and Have Not by Ernest Hemingway.
I've already read 1984, but I really wanted to add it to my book collection, and read it again! I just had to get The Prince because I'm a political science major, so why not?! I decided to throw in To Have and Have Not too as my third book. I'm super excited to read these books! Stay tuned for the reviews! Please leave a comment below if you've read any of these books, and what you thought of them!
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer in which bloggers are able to share news and happenings in their lives on their blog. This idea is fantastic and I look forward to participating in this in the future as well.
Currently Reading
At the moment, I am reading Unsub by Meg Gardiner! I am quite a few chapters in, and my oh my is this book good! It's super action-packed, thrilling and just all around gripping. Keep an eye out for my review of the novel, which will be posted soon!
What am I reading next?
I'm super excited to get started on these books! Let me know if you've read any of them, and your thoughts on them!
What did I do this week?
I've mostly been reading, writing and watching a lot of Survivor this past week. Honestly just binge-watching past seasons, it's so fun! I went to the bookstore yesterday, browsed the shelves while drinking some delicious Starbucks! How can you go to the bookstore without drinking some coffee?! Am I right? So I relaxed there for a bit, then went to eat lunch at Freshii! I got the Oaxaca bowl, and it was SO yummy! What's your favourite bowl from Freshii?
Today I went hiking, and stopped at a beach along the way (check out the pictures)! The water and sand was so clean, which was quite surprising! While relaxing on the beach I read a bit of The Accident by S. D. Monaghan and ate some energizing food to refuel after the hike. It was a pretty great day, the weather was fabulous and the place we went to was quite nice. Can't wait for more summer adventures!
Wow, ya know them desi's always gotta take advantage of them deals. 😂
ReplyDeleteAhaha jokes, awesome choices - waiting for the reviews!
Haha,you know it!

That cover for The Prince is amazing! I want to eventually buy a better copy of 1984. I just own a mass paperback version.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover too! 1984 is a classic, hopefully you find a better copy soon!

Oh Chapters is the best! Do you live in Canada? I haven't read any of these books but I'm glad you got them at a good price :D

It's a good one! I'm excited to read it because I had to read it for school last time, and didn't enjoy it too much at that time.
Delete- El
Wow, the bookstory must be awesome. Mine near my house isn't that good. I can't stand up long enough without someone ask me to move because the place is SO small.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope you enjoy these new books. Have a wonderful week. :)
The bookstore is awesome! ^.^
DeleteAwww! Small bookstores have their own charm, right?
Hope you have a fantastic week too!

I love 1984. Great haul and that is a bargain! Have a great week. - Katie

Damn, I'm gonna have to go visit my Chapters... I haven't read any of those, but they're classics for a reason! :)
ReplyDeleteYessss, I totally agree! :)
Delete- El
I remember reading 1984 when I was in high school. The rest of your books look interesting.
ReplyDeleteGrace
I read it in high school too! Did you enjoy it?
Delete- El
Those are really good! And the price offer is pretty good too :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!!! :)
Delete- El
Well done on the book haul! What a bargain!

Aw, thank you very much! :)

I do love the cover of that edition of 1984! Much more interesting than the boring classic looking one I have, haha. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I thought it looked super cool!
Delete- El
OOoh 3 for $10? It would be a crime not to buy books if they had ones in that category that you wanted! Lol! Great deals!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Exactly! It was an amazing deal! :)
DeleteI'll check out your STS as well!

Books sales are the best!! That's great you were able to find some new reads. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on them! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Thank you! ^.^
Delete- El
Such classics. 1984 is the only one I read though. And it certainly stands the test of time for being a good one. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! :) :)
Delete- El
We need a Chapters in my area, sounds like they have great deals. I haven't read any of the books you have listed, although 1984 has been on my TBR list for awhile now, hopefully soon. Enjoy all your new books and have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteChapters is great! ^.^
DeleteThank you, and you have a wonderful day as well!

3 books for 10 dollars is such a great deal! I really want to read more of Ernest Hemingway-- I'm sure I've read one or two of his works through school but I want to give them a go now that they aren't required reading.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I feel! I somehow hate all required readings, but if I read them once school is over, I enjoy them!
Delete- El
The covers of these books are great—1984's is so creepy!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I love the simplicity of the covers! Oh my gosh, 1984 is super creepy!!!!
Delete- El
I love the cover of The Prince and can you believe I have never read 1984? Thanks for visiting Booker T's Farm and I followed you back on Bloglovin as well.
ReplyDeleteI love it too! And thank you so much! :)

Hey, I just wanted to stop by and say hi and thank you for your support of my blog-move!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your reviews of Unsub and One of Us is Lying! One of Us is Lying sounds really good and I've been hearing good things about it.
Cheers!

Not a problem! :)
DeleteThanks so much!

Great set of books you got here! Thanks for commenting on my Sunday Post!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and no problem :)
Delete- El
I keep hearing Unsub is great so I hope you enjoy it. I just recently finished One of Us is Lying and thought that was a pretty solid read as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's going so good right now! :) I'm super excited for One of Us is Lying!
Delete- El
I love beaches! And bookstores where you can find books to love.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed Meg Gardiner's books, too, so Unsub caught my eye.
Thanks for visiting my blog...and I followed you by Bloglovin.
I have to read more of Gardiner's book in the future! :)
DeleteNo problem, and thank you ^.^
- El
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've heard of some of your books this week but I haven't read any of them.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach, but I prefer going when it's not too sunny (im not a sun person at all) Our local one is nearly almost empty when it cools down so we get it all to ourselves. :)
No problem! :)
DeleteI agree! I am not a sun person either! I prefer thunderstorms! :)
- El
Looks like a great haul! Love a good sale. I also love the beach pics. Need to go one day.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! :) Beaches are perfect for reading!
Delete- El
It seems we enjoy a lot of the same genres and authors. And I do that some times. I go to the bookstore to just relax and spot some deals. Probably why I have so many hardcover books. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
Really?! That's awesome!!
DeleteHaha, deals are the best! :)
- El
That is an amazing deal, I always seem to miss the sales at Chapters and end up paying full price, but books are worth it.
ReplyDeleteBooks are always worth it! :) I saw a few books that I've always wanted to read on sale, so why not buy them, haha!
Delete- El
I like that cover on 1984! It seems like the perfect one. I haven't seen many covers for it that I did like, so that is a good one. Looks like some great scores here!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! :)
Delete- El
That's exactly what I do!
ReplyDelete- El
I really love your marble background!! One of Us is Lying was pretty good. I liked that I suspected every single character right up until the end. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm looking forward to reading it soon! :)
