Stacking the Shelves (#262)


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, in which bloggers share the books and swag they've received in the past week!


So, what did I get in the week of Sunday, December 24th to Saturday, December 30th?

In the mail:



THANK YOU, KAITLYN! Coincidentally this is the second year in a row that she was my Santa! I don't know how that happened but I am not complaining. She really spoiled me and everything is so perfect. Such a wonderful and thoughtful set of gifts! 😍😍

I had a great Christmas! And then went back to work on Tuesday, which was rough mostly because I wished I had the entire week off. I'm excited for another long weekend though. My 5th blogoversary was yesterday (the 29th)! I'll do something in the new year - unfortunately I've been swamped in the last few weeks and nearly forgot about the milestone. Thank you all so much for sticking with me over the last five years! Happy New Year!

  20. I only get one day off for Christmas and it is always hard to go back when so many people are off. At least, I didn't have to work Christmas Eve this year since it fell on a weekend. Congrats on 5 years of blogging! Happy New Year!
