Sunday Post: Back Shelf Books 3/31/2024

Welcome back to Back Shelf Books for another Sunday Post!

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates! I hope you all have been able to have a good weekend with family and friends. I was able to go book shopping today, and book shopping always makes for a good day.

As always, I’m linking up with Readerbuzz for The Sunday Salon, Reading Reality for Stacking the Shelves, and The Caffeinated Reviewer for The Sunday Post.

Upcoming Posts & Reviews

I have quite the mix of genres for you all next week! I should have two other reviews go up as well, but those aren’t set in stone just yet!

What I Read This Week

I finished up Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries after spending a few weeks with the audiobook. I also devoured the audiobook of Where Sleeping Girls Lie (nearly in one sitting!). The rest were pretty quick reads. The only one of these books I really wouldn’t recommend is The Seven Years Princess by Brittany Fichter, which I gave only 1 Star.

Currently Reading

I could feel a bit of a reading slump coming on, so I started prioritizing books I was super into. I’m currently reading Dandelion and The Black Girl Survives in This One. Up next will be F.T. Lukens’ Otherworldly!

Stacking the Shelves

Stay tuned for a full-blown book haul post this week! I picked up some goodies from the bookstore and they definitely deserve their own post.

Weekly Goal & Final Thoughts

I’m hoping to get caught up on reviews, get ahead on posts, and maybe relax a little. Relaxing is fun, right?

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to comment your Sunday post link below 🙂

  6. I stay away from the bookstore as I often come away with books I start reading, and it’s expensive to read that way!

    I’m a big fan of NetGalley and Netflix, so that’s what I’ve been using for books and tv shows. Have a good week.

    1. I’m lucky to have a fantastic used bookstore near me. It has books, movies, games, and everything in between.

  7. I’m glad you were able to enjoy your book shopping! Happy Easter. I spent hours perusing and deciding which ARCs to take on offer yesterday.

  8. Where Sleeping Girls Lie is on my TBR, glad to hear it was good! I do love book shopping, but as most of my family isn’t into books, the horror!, I don’t get to do it on family trips usually. Hope you have a good week!
