Stacking the Shelves (23)

"Stacking the Shelves" is a weekly theme hosted by Tynga's reviews . Feel free to join in if you want. In this theme I showcase all the books I got this week.

I wasn't able to go to the book store this week. So, I only got library books this week.
 

Library
























I got...
Storm by Brigid Kemmerer.
I have heard so good things about this series. So, when I saw it in the library I thought why not get it and see what everyone was talking about
 
Burning Blue by Paul Gtiffin.
This just looked like a really good contemp and since I am in the mood for some contemps I got it.
 
 
First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky.
This looks so good! I can't wait to read it.
 
Run by James A. Moore.
I think this is a squeal, I am not sure, but it looks good.
 
The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan.
The first book in this series was pretty good. So, when I saw that my library had the second one I got it.
 
 



Thats all I got this week.
Happy reading

Let's talk

      Okay guys, I don't know if any of you know this, but my other passion besides books is painting. I love painting and drawing, I hope to one day become a professional painter. I am far from being a professional, because I am not that good yet. This year I want to be more active with my painting. So, I thought why not post a picture of my paintings every now and again on this blog, but then I thought that this is a book blog and my readers wouldn't want to see that. So, Then I had the idea to just make another blog that is just for painting and I would just not post as frequently on that blog, but I don't really want to do that, because starting a blog is a lot of work and finals are right around the corner. Then I thought why not make a tumbler for my painting. So, guys I need your help on deciding what to do here. There will be a poll on the left and I am asking you to please, please tell me what you think either on the poll or comment on this post, because I really don't know what to do.
Please tell me what you think :)
Happy reading.

This week question is.....
 
 
Q: What New Years Blogging or Writing resolution have you placed on yourself?
 
 
     I ended up having three book related mew years resolutions this year.
 
     The first one is I want to post at least two reviews a week. I have been trying to do this since the middle of August, but I can never seem to do it for a whole month. At least one week has only one review. I am going to try my hardest to accomplish this.
 
     The second is I want to try and post one post a day, accept for a few Sundays here and there. I think I can do this, because I have been doing trying to do it in the month of December and I think I did pretty well. I am also going to exstand on this and say that I really want to post more original things then just memes and reviews.
 
    Last but certainly not least, I want to read 105 books this year. I read 98 books last year and at first I wanted to read ten more then that, but I thought that might be pushing it. So, I settled for 105.

    That was my answer, what was your?
    Happy reading.
