Stacking the Shelves and What Happened This Week: More Happy Holidays

This week's Stacking the Shelves is the American Lit II Edition. All of the books featured I will be reading in my American lit class next semester, and I'm not going to lie the list is a little daunting (since it also contains two books I already own and an anthology), especially because I have four other classes this semester- two of which are literature classes- so this semester will be interesting to say the least. 

What I Bought For School:

 

Tracks, Louise Erdich
Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut
Uncle Tom's Children. Richard Wright

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain-- Gorgeous Penguin Deluxe Classic Edition. 

Just For Fun:

Chopsticks, Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral-- a book told through photographs and illustrations- not words. 

Born Wicked, Jessica Spotswood-- First in a YA trilogy about a teen witch living in a Salem-esque town. 

Jackaby, William Ritter-- I have been wanting to read this since it was released, and I scooped it up when I saw it on a good deal on Nook. I love this cover. so if I love this book, I may have to buy a hard-copy too!

What Happened This Week:

This week was a little crazier than I thought it would be. I did a lot of visiting with family and my best friend stayed with me for the week so I didn't have a lot of time to read or post, but I'm hoping to spend the last one and a half weeks of break getting some reading and posting done!

Monday-- I finalized my Rereads and Classics List for 2015!

Tuesday-- was all about my reading and blogging goals for 2015.

Wednesday-- I reviewed a graphic novel, The Gigantic Beard that was Evil.

Thursday-- I took an accidental break for New Year's Eve. 

Friday-- I reviewed one of my new favorite books, The End of the Affair by Graham Greene. 

And you can read last week's wrap up here. 

What's Happening Next:

Honestly? I have no clue- hopefully a review of For Darkness Shows the Stars and another installment of my Literary Look Series, as well as a couple fun posts. I'm hoping to get some posts done and scheduled for the first two or so weeks of school in mid-January so I won't have to worry about them, so that will hopefully happen this week and next week too.
