Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews & Reading Reality
what’s the buzz: weekly round-up and book haul
Wow, that was a quick couple of weeks! I haven’t been up to much at all lately, another national lockdown has kept me mostly indoors for the most part. I really need to get more active again, even if it is just for a walk. I feel that since last March my level of fitness has gone down dramatically and I don’t like it at all.
In the meantime though, I’ve spent most of my time reading and gaming (and looking for things to buy online!) Hey, it’s been pretty miserable weather-wise between snow and storms and rain so I feel justified in that decision! 😛
Anyway, I finally finished playing Cyberpunk 2077. I enjoyed it, though I do get some of the criticisms – it is pretty buggy but it didn’t stop me from playing luckily (no game-breaking bugs, for me at least).
I was also surprised with a brand new Xbox Series X from my other half! He had ordered it for me when it briefly came back in stock online. So, I’m all set for playing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition when it hits the shelves in May (I think it’s May anyway – should really check that…)
- Red, White & Royal Blue and Throne of Glass prints from A Touch of Magic Designs: I am loving these prints! It’s not often you get any merch for RW&RB and I have admired this art from Faerie Reverie for a long time…
- Cyberpunk 2077 Funko Pops: These were a part of my Valentine’s Day gift from my other half (he spoils me and knows me so well!) I love the card he picked out too – it’s made from bamboo!!
🖤🖤🖤
- Book sleeves from Book Besties UK: I am living for all of these gorgeous sleeves! I love Dominique Wesson and Dark and Beautiful Art so I couldn’t resist these art sleeves. I also just had to get the Edgar Allan Poe, Superhero, and Disney sleeves!
🖤🖤🖤
- MDZS / The Untamed pins from Barne Bucky (plus lots of art freebies!): I was so happy to receive these stunning pins this week – I just can’t stop staring at them (with hearts in my eyes!) 😍
🖤🖤🖤
- MDZS prints and TGCF keychain from Gomi Sando, MDZS / TGCF pins from Billacookie: I adore all of these MXTX merch items so much! The pins are super-adorable and the prints are so pretty.
- Final Fantasy 15 pins (Chocobros!) from Fiveonthe and Final Fantasy 7 pin (Reno!) from And Vengeance For All: These are so stunning! I am in love with them all… 😍
- Mass Effect pins and Ghost Butterfly pin from Sartizan, Wang Yibo pin from Esser18, and Persona 5 charm from Sparkiiro: Such glorious merch from a few of my favourite fandoms!
