Mirror Mirror is our feature that replaces the old Stacking The Shelves/Weekly Recap posts. Bieke decided to make her own original feature because it was more than just a STS or recap post.
Life, News & Happenings
Hi there gorgeous readers! I hope your 2018 is going well, I’m dealing with some health issues, but I’m well for the most part. I already had the obligatory January cold (it seems I have a bad one at the beginning of each year) with laryngitis to boot, but I’m fine now. I think hubby enjoyed that I couldn’t talk for three days to be honest 😉
This is a rare sight indeed, you might even say it’s a small miracle! I’m married to a non-reader, but I gave hubby Endurance by Scott Kelly since he’s such a big fan for anything NASA related and he’s reading it!

It’s been a while so bear with me because this is a long one 🙂

“Alyssa’s fault” hehehehehehehehe. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 I hope you like that one! I thought it was delightful. That is SO COOL that your husband is reading! That sounds like a cool book. I’m glad you’re feeling better and hey, that rice looks great! Good job!
Have a fabulous week. =)

Well, it is! So many books I read thanks to you and Nick 🙂 Thanks Alyssa and same to you!

My husband isn’t a reader either but since he just ordered me new bookshelves for my birthday, I can overlook it. Wow, you got so many awesome books here. My husband usually has the scheduled bronchitis in March so I totally know what you mean about the obligatory January cold. Hope you are on the mend!

Thanks Barb. I hope your husband skips this year 🙂

I hope the month ends better than it began. I love when I see my kids all about a book. Happy reading!

Do your kids read? I only have one reader among my three boys 🙁
WOW! The cover for Scream all Night is stunning! I’m super intrigued, I looked up the summary on Goodreads, and I’m weirdly obsessed. Thank’s for contributing to my never-ending TBR!

Right? It’s so different, I hope it’s good.
I loved Geekerella. So much fun! I hope you enjoy it. I am coveting your books right now. I so want to read the new Tamara Ireland Stone and you have the new Christina June. *grabby hands* I keep trying the cauliflower stuff, and it usually tastes ok, but my problem is it is not kind to me after. But, your “rice” did look delish.

I’m sure I will love Greekerella Sam! Thanks for all the kind words about my haul. Eating low-carb is no always easy, I fare better with the cauliflower than with other veggies. Have you tried Beano? I usually take it before I eat some veggies and it helps a lot.
Great haul this week! I am so jealous for These Rebel Waves; I am dying to get a copy of it. Happy reading!

Amazing haul Liza. I can see a lot of books that I want too 😀 I requested Miriam Sharma Hits the Road too on Edelweiss, but unfortunately, I got turned down 😛
And I am married to a non-reader too 😀 But I bet he won’t read a book with so much interest like your husband is reading 😀
I hope you enjoy all of your new book 🙂
Twitter: Liza
Thanks Sim. I hope you get Miriam soon anyway… Hubby reads when he has to and very seldom for fun like this. It makes me happy to see him reading though 🙂

I’m glad you’re feeling better! Isn’t it the best when you gift a non-reader a book AND THEY READ IT?! Yay for Our Dark Duet and Reign of the Fallen! I’m really looking forward to Little Do We Know and Mariam Sharma Hits the Road, so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on those. Have a great week. 🙂

Right? I always love it when my family reads 🙂 Thanks Madalyn 🙂
