    Aww…your daughter is so cute. Good luck with the sleeping. Get someone to watch her even so you can just lay down for a while. It really helps!

    So I have a question. This isn’t an official “Stacking the Shelves” but I was wondering if it’s okay to share my link? This post includes all the books I aquired in April (as well as other bookish things for the month).

    ps. I got Insurgent this week too. So excited!

      Yes feel free to share your link :)

      I wish my daughter would accept being held my someone else so I can rest, but she wants mommy at all cost

      Thanks! Next month maybe I will mention you since I am still looking through the links and maybe commenting too. I just don’t want to do it every week any more. It is too much for me to do like that :)

      Aww…I know the feeling. My daughter would scream her head off if someone was not holding her and most of the time that someone was me. Have a great week, Tynga!

    You got some awesome books girl! I’m a huge Gena Showalter fan and have read most of her books. I’m behind on her newest series though. I can’t wait for her new YA Series, Alice in Zombieland!

    Little Lily-Ann is adorable! Hope your arm heals well. I’d suggest a sling or baby carrier if you’re holding her a lot around the house.

      I don’t know if I’ll read her YA series, i’m not a zombie fan.

      The injury is actually from holding her head to my breast =/

    Great books this week! I love library sales, as they always have such great bargains. Christine has some great books too, as I’m looking forward to reading Deadly Descendant!

    Lily-Ann is beautiful! So much hair! And she smiled! Hope you’re able to get some sleep soon, and maybe a little reading time as well. Enjoy your new angel!

    Insurgent is quite a popular book this week (as expected). I still need to read Divergent :( . I’ve heard good things about Struck. Happy reading, and your baby girl is so cute!! Congrats!

    Cute baby! I hope she is letting you get some sleep and read too. I think all the Laurell K. Hamilton are in the same series. I know that I have read all of them but I do read both of her series. I think you got some great books at your library sale. Happy reading!

    CINDY! Your daughter is adorable! Congrats on her arrival. ;)

    The Laurell K Hamilton series is fantastic – I have all of the books for the Anita Blake series (still need to read a few) and I am looking to get into her faerie series Merry Gentry (PS Divine Misdemeanours is part of the Merry series).

    Enjoy your books and all the time with your new little one.

    Your daughter is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the video with us :-)

    I still need to read the Alien Huntress series, but I have all the books on my bookshelf! I really liked the Nightwalker series by Jaquelyn Frank (still need to read “Adam” though).

    Christine got some great books too! So looking forward to Born of Silence. It’s on its way to me in the mail now! Yay! Under the Never Sky was a great read. I have Coveted & Struck on my TBR :-)

    Hope you get some time to get a little reading in & some sleep! :-)

      I can’t wait to begin Born of Silence! I’m really curious how Sherrelyn Kenyon manages to explain why Darling isn’t gay…

    Your little girl is just beautiful!

    And you got some great books, all of those books by Laurell K. Hamilton are from the same series, the Anita Blake series. There are a lot of the books in the series and while I think it’s best if you read in order, she does explain a lot in each book ;)

    Congrats on your baby girl! She’s a doll and my son is only 2 so my advice: it gets easier! :) (Mine was the worst sleeper EVER – I hope yours isn’t anything like mine haha). And great haul too I’m reading Insurgent now and it’s awesome I’m loving it. I also want to read Struck. I love that cover the lettering is much cooler than mine. Thanks for starting this meme I’m all for supporting fellow Canadian! :) My post will be up in an hour or so.

    First off, your little girl is so CUTE! Bless your heart in having to hold her for such a long period that it caused your arm stress. Hopefully you’ll get stronger with time and holding her. :)

    That is an awesome book haul you have there. I believe all of the Laurell K. Hamilton books are within the Anita Blake series. :) The Nymph King was the first Gena Showalter book I ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really hope you enjoy it and your other books as well, Tynga. Happy reading!

    Hey there! I’d love to participate in this meme, but I have called my weekly recaps “Week in Review” for months.. Would it be okay if I participated and mentioned that you hosted this meme, but keep the name I use right now or something like that?

    Tynga, your daughter is simply precious! To give your arms a break, you need a Maya Wrap!! My firstborn virtually lived in it!! That way, she can wear her and still have arms to do other things. I like the original one without the padding. To my knowledge, you can’t buy it in Canada (unless that has changed) so I ordered mine from the US: http://www.mayawrap.com/. No, I do not have any affiliation whatsoever with the company. I’m just a happy customer :)

    On to the books! I haven’t yet read Laurell K. Hamilton series, but that is on my TBR pile. I really must get to Divergent, now that Insurgent is out!

    I hope you get a chance to get caught up on your sleep. I had the same experience in the hospital — I never got any sleep! It will be much better for you both now that you are home :)

    I hope you have an awesome week!

    And thanks for including Mister Linky!!

    Thank you for sharing the video – she’s so sweet. To save your arm put a pillow on your lap and then lay her on it to nurse. Your arms will thank you :) .

    Jacob and the entire Nightwalker as well as the Shadowdweller series are fantastic. And Gena hasn’t written a book I didn’t love. I think you pulled in a fantastic haul at the sale :) .

    Hi Tynga! This is my first time at your blog and wanted to say a big thank you for providing another outlet for sharing out books =) I’m looking forward to continuing with this meme.

    I also got Insurgent this week (I’d be crazy not to!) Loving it so far and hope you are too!

    Hi Tynga! Congrats on your baby girl, she’s beautiful! I was torn on what to do to showcase the books I receive, but liked the idea of doing a news/bookhaul combination and decided to start doing The Sunday Post meme. I’d love to do them all but don’t have that kind of time, LOL! I’m not sure if it’d be appropriate to link it up to yours. I may try to combine them :) .

    I hope you get to read Insurgent soon, I loved it and just posted a review. Last week I got Under the Never Sky on audiobook and I can’t wait to start listening. You had a great book week, I hope Lily gives you a chance to enjoy them soon :) .

    Congratulations, Momma!! :) She’s so cute! Makes me want to have more… I already have too many (4).
    Take care of yourself and sleep when she does! Breatfeeding gets easier, but it does drain you. The best way I saved my arm was laying on the bed with the baby. Or, a wrap around pillow thingy(forgot name) It was awesome it velcro’s around your body and you lay the baby on top and no pressure on your back or arm. I used to feed mine while actually doing housework!
    Get ready for sleepness nights, but it does get easier after a few months. Make sure you use a routine same wake up, nap, feed, sleep, the routine worked awesome for me, just give it time.
    Thanks for hosting STS Love it!

    OH, You got AWESOME books!!! :)

    Lily-Ann is soooo sweeet! She’s just adorable. Congratulations!! I just love her name. I have a new baby at home too, he’s seven weeks now. I wanted to name the baby Lily if we had a girl, but obviously he’s a boy so we named him Miles. :)

    I don’t know how you’re getting any blogging done! Way to go!
