Stacking the Shelves ★ 11
Sunday 11 August 2019
Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!
If you want to find out more about Stacking The Shelves, please visit the official launch page!
I've put myself on a strict book-buying ban for the time being so I can put together the funds for Manatee's x-rays, tests, and surgery, and put money towards any possible treatments he might need in addition later. If he doesn't need any other treatments, whoo! and I have extra funds to add to the dog cash cache. #SeniorDogFund
I won a whole month's worth of releases from Sourcebooks Casablanca in a Facebook giveaway and I'm trying to slip them into my planner schedule as I go but I thought I'd put a lovely "hey look at these books and if you like them buy them" post together for the start of my book-buying ban. So here they are!
Sweet Wild of Mine by Laurel Kerr
Love runs wild at the Sagebrush Flats Zoo...
In a bid to revitalize his career, bestselling author Magnus Gray has come to Sagebrush Flats to write about the local zoo's latest rescue―an orphaned baby polar bear. But Magnus dreads the drama of small towns and is bullishly determined to keep to himself.
June Winters is a people person, and delights in welcoming Magnus to Sagebrush Flats, though it seems unlikely she can get the handsome stranger to crack a smile. Then a mishap with an open gate forces Magnus and June to deal with a stampeding flock of fainting goats, an adorable but clingy polar bear cub, a cranky pregnant camel, and two star-crossed honey badgers. Never mind small town drama―the lively animals may just convince these two that opposites really do attract...

Yes, this is book 2 of the Where the Wild Hearts Are series I've been talking about and the review has been due for a bit. It's on my other page right now actually. But lookit!

SEAL Wolf Surrender by Terry Spear
For a shifter with no interest in she-wolves...he sure is territorial.
Wolf shifter and former Navy SEAL Brock Greystoke isn't interested in she-wolves. The last one in his life ambushed him with the intent to kill. So when he's tasked with helping his cousin's friend get to a wedding, he has no intention of getting involved with her...
She-wolf Natalie Silverton has inadvertently crossed a group of dangerous criminals, and she's in dire need of a bodyguard. Good thing Brock is there to protect her. At every turn, their work--and play--brings them closer to catching the criminals and to each other, but Brock will have to get them out of this alive if he has any hope of winning Natalie's heart.

This sounds like a mash-up of a couple well-enjoyed tropes so I'm going to have fun checking this one out when I get the chance!

Smooth Moves by Marie Harte
Ex-Marine Cash Griffith is a beacon for trouble. Working for the family moving company, he does his best to keep a low profile, but he can’t help finishing a fight someone else starts. There’s one person at work who annoys and baffles him. But if he even thought about taking her on, she’d put him down. Hard. Which is a real problem, because Cash wants nothing more than to tangle with sexy Jordan Fleming.
The ex-Army MP has her hands full with her new job and her rebellious teenage brother. Getting him through summer school is a chore. Figuring out what to do with her life now that she’s a civilian is disheartening. But one thing she lives for—doing battle with the obnoxious, arrogant, incredibly hot Marine at work.
Their battles turn into true camaraderie, then into something more. Helping each other out with family problems, Cash and Jordan learn to trust each other. One kiss leads to another, and friendship starts turning to love. But when dangerous secrets come to light, their bond will either break or strengthen into a future they both deserve.

I think this is both a Grams and Me book so I'm also going to share this one with her. My grandmother is really benefitting from my book life, tbh. *shrug*

I've been following the Chasing Red series since it was a baby on Wattpad and when I opened the box from Sourcebooks Casablanca it was bothering me so much that I couldn't figure out why this book seemed so familiar. (It's been a while!) And then, it hit me! There was squealing because OH MY DEITIES!

Puppy Love by Lucy Gilmore
A brand new series from debut author Lucy Gilmore, featuring service puppies who might just be matchmakers in the making...
Sophie Vasquez runs Puppy Promise, a service puppy training organization. Sophie's always been treated as the frail baby of the family—a thing she hates but doesn't know how to change. Until, that is, she meets her newest client.
Harrison Parks is a wildfire firefighter who isn't allowed back in the field unless he finds a service dog. Reluctantly, he agrees, never expecting to be assigned a skittish Pomeranian and the equally skittish woman who's supposed to wrangle them both into order. As it turns out, they all have something to prove…and more than enough room in their hearts for a little puppy love.

After this posting of Stacking the Shelves, I'll just be reaching into the back reaches of my kindle library for a while so I can stay true to my book-buying ban. I'm going to try to think up a couple more things to add to the blog, so stay tuned! Until next time, have a happily ever after!
