The Week in Review is where I combine Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It’s Monday! What are you reading? If you have never joined in on these meme’s you can check them out by clicking on the meme and it will take you to the host blog.
The cough is lingering still but I am feeling better. It’s getting colder here and I don’t like it I want my summer weather back!! I am not a fan of anything below 60 degrees and it was only in the 50’s today and rainy…blah. I wish I could move somewhere warm…anyone in a warm climate want to adopt me….lol.
Happy Halloween!!!

Books I have added
Netgalley:


Still dipping into graphic novels to see what I think. Though Blue Hand Mojo looks a lot different that normal graphic novesl..lol.
Audiobooks for Review:

- The Second Super – first superhero turns villian so second super has to save the day. 🙂
- Murder so Sweet – second in the Sweet Cove mysteries
- Styx -crime novel about a serial killer called The Stuffer.
- Grace Interrupted – second in the Manor House mysteries.
- Murder on Astor Place – First in the Gaslight mysteries.
- Quite Contrary – Mary ends up in Red’s story and now we have a messed up looking Red Riding Hood story…lol.
Print books:

- Tentacles is the second in the Marty and Grace series. It’s a YA series based on crypto type monsters. I now have books two-four as I have gotten them all at the Scholatic Store at my work place..just wish they had #1! 🙂
- The Finisher was just $2.00 so I couldn’t help but grab it up. 🙂
- Warrior of Fate is an unsolicited book from the publisher, but now I have three of the books in that series I guess I should give it a try…lol.
Bought Kindle:






Wow, I really one clicked more than I thought I did!!! Everything was .99 at time I bought them except for Invasion of the Tearling which was $1.99. 🙂
Kindle Freebies:

agh I missed your review of TEN. Just read it… I agree it was suspenseful but not that scary. Kinda fun tho.
Fangs for the Memories looks like fun… 🙂
Stormi
I got my ten review up kind of late yesterday so that is probably why. :)Yes, it was kind of fun.
Jessica @ a GREAT read
OOoh very nice!! I still need to read Queen of the Tearling! Hope you enjoy all the awesome new reads!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Stormi
I still need to read Queen of Tearling but for 1.99 I couldn’t not pick up the second book. 🙂
laura thomas
I hope you are all better soon, Stormi. With the approaching cooler weather it seems like lots of nasty stuff is starting to go around. I hear ya about the chilly weather. I’m missing my morning dips in the pool!
So many great books here today. Funny how we each got something different out of Monsterland.
Stormi
Me too, it’s hard to talk on the phone to customers and be hacking…lol. Thank God for the mute button! 🙂 Yeah, just not a fan of being cold…lol.
Terri M., the Director
It’s so frustrating when you get later books in a series and can’t seem to find the first one!
I hope you have a great week. Get well soon!
Stormi
I have the first two books in the series, I just need to read them…lol. I guess this is a good reason to get started on them. 🙂
Katherine @ I Wish I Lived in a Library
I have your review of Ten saved and will hopefully get to it tomorrow. I live in a somewhat warmer climate than you do so our cold is 50ish/60ish which I’m okay with. It’s cold enough to wear a light sweater and pretty scarf with boots but not so cold I feel like I’m freezing to death. We do get a few days like that but I refuse to leave the house. Glad to hear you’re feeling better and hope the remains of the cough disappear soon. I hate that lingering cough! Have a great week!
Stormi
If it just stayed around 50/60ish I might be okay with that but we dip down in the single digits some times and I am not a fan of that…lol.
Barb(boxermommyreads)
Wonderful haul. I live in a cold winter area so I can’t help you much. We are supposed to have 70’s most of next week though. I will enjoy it while I can. Have a great reading week.
Stormi
This week is suppose to be in the 70’s too and I will take it. 🙂
Berls
I’m so with you in the cold weather! I’d adopt you but you’d have to sleep in the living room and it still gets cold here… Though better than Missouri for sure! Hope you get to feeling better. I’ve been coughing since September, so I know how annoying it is :/ have a great week:)
Stormi
Yeah, you get some nasty stuff too I remember last year…lol. I may need to go farther south! 🙂
Lola
Here it isn’t too cold yet, I am not a fan of the cold either, but as long as I can stay indoors I don’t mind too much. You definitely read a lot this week, oh I should check out your review of Dark Heart of magic, curious to hear if you enjoyed it. Enjoy your new books and have a great week!
Stormi
Yeah, the couldn’t wouldn’t be to bad if I could stay cozy inside but I normally have to leave to go to work so that doesn’t work…lol.
A Voracious Reader
I don’t mind cooler weather, but add rain to it and I agree…blah. And I’ll add blerg. lol I’d adopt you, but we’re only going to get cooler as the months go by. At least here in North Carolina our winter is usually mild and of short duration. 🙂 I’ve been hit or miss with graphic novels from NetGalley and now I can’t even open them! Stupid ACSM files! If you want to try out a variety of graphic novels I suggest signing up with NoiseTrade. I’ve been getting several from there and most have been pretty good. Otherwise I get mine from my library which has a surprisingly diverse selection. Hope that cough moves out ASAP and you have a wonderful week!
Stormi
So far the graphic novels from NG have been loading okay but the one I got from EW on the other hand will not load. 🙁 I have emailed Dark Horse about it in hopes of getting them to send me one I can load…lol. If not oh well, I will check out NoiseTrade and see what it is. 🙂
Tiffany
You have a lot of good books to keep you occupied this winter. I loved Sherry D. Ficklin’s Stolen Empire series. I hope you enjoy Queen of Tomorrow. Feel better soon!
Stormi
Yes, it is. I have a horrible one click problem…lol. I have more books that I will probably ever read!! 🙂
Bea @Bea's Book Nook
So many books! The Finisher wasn’t great but I liked it. My review goes up Saturday. I’m gad you’re feeling better, kick that cough!
Stormi
Oh that is a bummer about The Finisher but maybe I will like it. It was only a couple bucks for the hardback so at least I am not out much if I don’t…lol.
Deborah
We have pretty different tastes Stormi but I love seeing what you’ve been reading each week.
So sorry to hear your cough’s hanging around and hope it gets better soon.
PS. I’d love to live in a cooler climate!
Kathy
It’s good to hear your feeling better but a cough can last for weeks. Hopefully it will go away soon. You got a lot of great books! I’m starting the audiobook for The Queen of the Tearling. I’ve heard good things about this so hopefully I will like it. Have a great week Stormi!
Tracy (@Cornerfolds)
What an amazing haul!! I still need to read Queen of the Tearling and Queen of Someday! I hope you love all your new books! And you can come stay with me in Florida! We can fight off the baddies together! 😛

Tentacles can visit my house any time it wants to. LOL
