This Week on The Bookshelf Intruder: Weathering the storm

This Week on the Bookshelf Intruder rounds up everything that happened on the blog, share-worthy links from around the web, my current reading list, and some offline happenings.

***I was about to post this last Friday but then power went out because of the rotating brownout... and guess what? We still don't have electricity at home. :( Sigh...***

Despite my complaints on Twitter regarding the lack of electricity and power supply on our house, I am truly grateful that we weathered typhoon Glenda and that no one in my family was hurt. Glenda was strong and scary. The winds were insane! It was like listening to a whistling giant. A part of our roof almost flew away (we had to tie it to the window). But yes, my family and I are safe and thankful. A little bit sad and frustrated because of the current situation, but safe nonetheless. Fortunately, our office has electricity and I’m able to take advantage of the Internet connection. :)

Excluding Glenda, my week was pretty awesome. I reviewed two books:
•    Cinderella Screwed Me Over
•    City of Heavenly Fire

There were also other bookish posts:
•    Monday Inspiration talked about how tough it is to pick only five favorite books (and why that’s okay), and the joys I’ve been experiencing because of blogging.
•    My Wishlist Wednesday featured Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella, which has been on my shelf forever but still unread.
•    Stacking the Shelves showcased a ton of books – 18 in total – and one of those is Landline by Rainbow Rowell! *happy dance*

I also posted some events which I saw on the NBS page:
•    Alex London Book Signing
•    Warehouse Sale

And oh yeah, there were also awesome posts from awesome book bloggers!
•    When Commenting Becomes a Chore by Dre of Sporadic Reads – She gave wonderful tips on how to comment more efficiently. Really helpful, especially for newbies. Check her post out!
•    Announcing: Sci-Fi November 2014 by Oh, the Books! – This sounds really exciting! I decided to sign up and join the fun, so November is going to be reserved for the sci-fi reads on my TBR. :) And you should join, too!

That was my week. I am not sure what’s in store for next this week because Glenda ruined my reading schedule. I’m trying to stick to my calendar but it’s hard when I have to save my phone/tablet’s battery. I do hope to finish Gone, Gone, Gone by Hannah Moskowitz and post a review soon.

How about you? What were your accomplishments last week? Share it with me on the Comments. :)
