Welcome to the last and final Stacking the Shelves post of the year. A post in which I’m not actually stacking anything. I did get a few books this week, but not much.
As I said in last week’s STS, my mother went into hospice last Thursday. She passed away on Xmas Day, and her funeral was Wednesday. It was a blustery 6 degrees in Cincinnati that day. I had to borrow one of her coats to have something halfway warm enough to wear at her graveside ceremony. Which felt more than a bit weird, but it still smelled like her perfume and that was surprisingly comforting.
We’re finally home, but it seems that I brought a case of food poisoning home with me along with everything we cleaned out of her apartment. I’m toast.
Which doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t add a link to your Stacking the Shelves post in the linky below.
Happy Holidays, Season’s Greetings and a safe New Year’s to you and yours.
I’m sorry you had such a dreadful end to your year. I hope the new year starts out better.
For anyone wanting to add to their TBR piles, Amazon has a lot of books from the Goodreads awards on sale today.
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things in the world. You and your family are in my thoughts.

I hope 2018 finds you well and full of happiness. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it would be to have all of that going on and lose a parent, especially during the holidays. <3 You and your family are in my thoughts. And if you're in Cincinnati, I'm not far from you. 🙂 About an hour away.
So sorry for your loss. Sending love across the ocean.
My sympathies go out to you for the loss of your mom. Will keep you in my prayers, that is such a tough time.
