Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, that spotlights the books we are adding to our shelves; whether they be virtual or physical.
My plans to make it to the library this week were thwarted. My sister is back in the hospital and I’ve been busy driving back and forth up to visit her, plus work and taking care of her little ones while her husband works at night. It’s been stressful and I’m afraid it’ll always be like this. She has Transverse Myelitis, a rare inflammatory disease that causes injury to the spinal cord. They found more lesions and therefore she’s in a state of paralysis at the moment. So, I’m just gonna continue my prayers for her to recover and be as functional as she possibly can. Not many books this week and I think that I’m gonna cut back on my requests for the next few months; until I can get the ones I have read since I don’t have the time.

Those Girls by Lauren Saft
Kindle Freebies
Crimson Footprints by Shewanda Pugh I love her writing style, even though I wasn’t too fond of one of her books. The writing was flawless but the story as a whole wasn’t my cup of tea. Maybe this one will be different.
Sugar Kisses by Addison Moore I have all of her books on my Kindle, but have only read a handful. Those that I’ve read are great and I just had to grab this one since it was free.
Blog Tour
Vessel by Lisa T. Creswell I’m not actually reviewing this one for the tour, just a promo, but the author was nice enough to send me a copy anyway.
What books did you add to your shelves this week?
I grabbed Those Girls this week too!!! I’ve had Sugar Kisses by Addison Moore for a while now but I haven’t read them yet. Happy reading.

Oh wow, I am so, so sorry about your sister, that has to be incredibly difficult. I am also very sorry for the loss of your mom. I really hope that things start to turn around for you soon, it really isn’t fair that so much is heaped on one person.
As for your books, Those Girls sounds really interesting, and I keep almost requesting it but then stopping myself 😉 I do hope you enjoy your new books, and that things this week will be a bit calmer for you. You and your family will be in my thoughts ❤

Be sure to take care of yourself while taking care of the kids, and make sure your BIL does also. I have had cancer for 12 years and my sister does so much for me, but she needs to relax and let others help me, too.

I’m so used to it now Elizabeth. After taking care of my mother before she died of cancer, it seems like something is always happening. It’s been like this since 2009, when my mom was diagnosed. Sadly, she only made it to 2012. I’m trying to not put too much stress on myself. Thanks for the encouragement!
