Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews & Reading Reality
what’s the buzz: weekly round-up and book haul
Well, it’s been a tumultuous couple of weeks for me, lots going on despite the lockdown and the fact that normal life has continued to grind down to a halt. I’ve actually been really stressed out the last couple of weeks and my anxiety has rocketed (just when you think it has gone away it always comes back to bite you again). 🙁
I’ve had quite a bit of trouble getting and staying motivated which has really affected my blogging lately. However, I’m trying to put a pin in that and am currently doing my best to overcome this malaise.
As a result, the last couple of weeks purchases have accumulated and I have been trying to avoid cataloguing them but that just makes it get bigger (and bigger!) so it’s time to get myself in hand and woman up!!
- WandaVision Funko Pops from Game UK: I was blown away by WandaVision – it was such a good show and definitely made me even more a fan of Wanda and Vision as characters and as a pairing so I couldn’t resist these pops!
🖤🖤🖤
- WangXian bunnies pin by Aesthete Pins: I am loving this stunning pin (which I pre-ordered a bit ago) – it’s way more stunning in person and the photo doesn’t do it justice at all…
- Jiang Cheng pin from Aitaikuji: This pin is just so cute! I love his little grumpy face so much!!!
- Earrings from One Dotty Duck: These earrings are super-stunning – you can’t really see the colours in this photo but they really pop!
- MDZS pins from Goldfish: These pins are just so pretty! I missed out on some of their designs so I grabbed these but you better believe I will jump on the rest if they ever come back up!
🖤🖤🖤
- WangXian print by Gomi Sando: I actually bought this a wee while ago but it got tidied away when I was working in my spare room and I’ve only just come back across it. Isn’t it pretty?
- WangXian pins from Notvanessalee: I am in love with these pins – will definitely need to get the rest asap!
- Pre-order swag from the publisher (Cursebreakers series): I love iron on patches and this one is swell…
