Stacking the Shelves #82 + Challenge Updates

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, that showcases the books we are adding to our shelves; whether they be virtual or physical.

In My Mailbox

Only two of these are for review, The Real Peter Pan: The Tragic Life of Michael Llewelyn Davies by Piers Dudgeon, and Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin. Thank you St. Martin’s Press and Kathleen!

I’m so behind on updates for challenges that I’m doing this year. Here’s where I’m at so far.

2016 TBR Pile Challenge: 22/50

2016 Netgalley Edelweiss Challenge: 22

2016 Goodreads Reading Challenge: 129/150

I think I’m doing well on them all, though I’d like to read more physical books from my TBR pile. Mostly I’ve been reading ebooks. I haven’t requested a lot of books from NG/EW, but most of the ones I’ve read so far are requests from last year, or for blog tours this year. I’m still managing to stay above 80% this year, which is my goal. Now, I just have to keep at it. I’ve only DNF’d 4 books so far this year, and I’ve listened to 4 audiobooks. I know, I know. I suck. I’m really trying to get better, but I have a lot of stuff going on in my life right now. How are you guys doing on challenges you’re participating in? What books have you added to your shelves this week?
