Doctor Sleep by Stephen King

One of my favorite books is The Shining. I loved that book! So I thought this was the perfect time of year to start the sequel. I will say that after reading the first 30 pages I did have a creepy dream that night!

Stacking the Shelves Book Fairy Style!

Stacking the Shelves was started by Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews.

I have a book fairy.  She is fantastic.  She had me visit her and go through all her ARCs and wouldn't let me leave until I had a box full! She works for Penguin Random House, so they are all ARCs from books just out or coming out 2016. 
It was like Christmas!
She made my day!

Any suggestions???

Thank you to Penguin Random House!

This is a fun meme were people share the books they got this week. I won't participate too often mainly because, for the time being, I'm challenging myself to only read books I own.

I do, though, still get books in the mail for review.  And that's what happened this week.
