Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality
what’s the buzz: weekly round-up and book haul
Yikes, I just checked and it’s been almost 8 weeks since my last STS post (no wonder it is taking me so long to compile all my purchases and take photos!!) December (and for that matter, November too) just flew by. I can’t believe 2021 is (almost) over – it’s crazy just how quickly time moves when you get older!
I spent most of Nov/Dec playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons (I’m addicted!), watching television shows (namely You, Dopesick, Hawkeye, and The Witcher – and, as of today, am halfway through season 4 of Cobra Kai!) and getting our bedroom sorted after getting new flooring put in (which took forever and all of our stuff had to be moved to other rooms while it was getting done so chaos ensued!!) Fun times! 100% don’t recommend haha! 🤣
As a result, most of my books and stuff had to be packed away so didn’t get a chance to take photos etc. for a book haul post) that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it dammit!)
- Cruel Prince, Addie LaRue book sleeves from BookChicBoutique , Brothersong book sleeve by CustomCritterDesigns : I am loving these sleeves – I can never resist anything from my favourite fandoms and I was super-excited to see book sleeves for the Green Creek series!
- From Blood and Ash, Peter Pan and ACOTAR book sleeves from BookBestiesUK: I can never resist a wee order from BookBestiesUK – they are all amazing!
- ACOTAR and Empire of the Vampire sleeves from BookBestiesUK: Yep, more sleeves! I may have a slight sleeve addiction…
- ACOTAR sleeves from NeedlesRiddles, Throne of Glass sleeve from A Touch of Magic Designs (and made by BookBestiesUK): Yet more sleeves but aren’t they stunning?
- Moth/Butterfly and ACOTAR sleeves from BookBestiesUK: Spoonflower had a sale so I just had to get these! I have my eye on a few other fabric so hopefully there’s another sale soon!
- Persona 5 and Nier Automata Nendoroids from Gamersheek: Just for a bit of variety, I also got a couple of new Nendos!
🖤🖤🖤
- Lan Wangji print from PandoraYoung: I’ve been eyeing this print up for ages and I finally caved and ordered it (but they now have more in their shop so I’m gonna have to get those too haha!)
- The Untamed print and bookmark from Carolamarin: I am loving this print/bookmark combo – the art is lovely!!
- Untamed themed prints from TsumiNoAru: These are so pretty! I really love their art style and will definitely be buying more prints from them!
- Bookish prints from A Touch of Magic Designs: I love these prints so much! I love getting prints from them – they are such good quality and everything gets sent out super-quickly too!!
🖤🖤🖤
- Past items from Moonlight Crate: I missed the last couple of boxes (was having a lack of funds crisis) so was really happy to be able to snag some of the merch I missed out on!
- Cruel Prince shelfies, and ACOTAR pin from A Touch of Magic Designs, Persona 5 standees from Otaku Hype: These are all so cute! We got the Persona acrylic figures to open at Xmas (they are blind-boxed) and I was so happy to get my boy Goro Akechi! I was keeping my fingers and toes crossed for him (though the others are also cool AF!) 😉
- Misc. stickers from FoxiPins and BookBestiesUK: Fun! I love stickers!!
- Wangxian pin from Cosmile Studio on eBay: This pin is so pretty! I am trash for anything related to The Untamed (and that Bazaar photoshoot…) 🤤
- TGCF pin from Kwaaru: This pin is so awesome! The photo does not do it justice (and it glows in the dark too!!)
- SVSSS pins from FoxiPins: These are absolutely stunning – I am totally in love with these pins.
🖤🖤🖤
- MDZS wedding pins from Billacookie, animal pins from LillbitsCreations: These pins are just the cutest ever!!
- TGCF pin from Daisy YHB, Word of Honor pins from Billacookie: Such gorgeous designs – I love them all.
- MXTX pins from Goldfishes: I am so happy they re-released some of the previous designs again and I could get the ones I missed out on before.
- MDZS Halloween pins from Billacookie: These are frickin’ adorable! I especially love Wen Ning as a pumpkin haha!
- SVSSS pins from Kouzi Studio: I was so happy to be able to snap this pair up in a recent restock – now the collections complete.

This post is so full of bookish delights! I haven’t seen You yet, but it’s on my watch list. I am caught up on Witcher and enjoyed Hawkeye. I hope you are enjoying your new flooring! I bet you are glad that project is now complete and you have your living space back to normal.
Those book sleeves are gorgeous! And that’s quite a book haul, even over a couple months. So many great titles there! I hope you enjoy all of them. Have a Happy New Year!
