Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and was inspired by The Story Siren's In My Mailbox posts.
I have been pretty MIA on Saturdays, as of late, but I had some time today and I got some ridiculously awesome books this week, so I decided to share. No vlog, because I am in total relax mode today and look like a bum, but I've got pretty pictures :0)
For Review:
Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor (NetGalley)
*OH MY GOSH!! I almost fell over dead when I got the email, from Little Brown, to download this from NG! Words cannot describe. I expect to be done with this one by mid week!*
Uses for Boys by Erica Lorraine Scheidt (NetGalley)
*This one is really intriguing to me and I'm a huge fan of the cover. It seems like it could be a little dark, but I'm cool with that.*
Bruised by Sarah Skilton (Thanks, Laura and Abrams!!)
*This was actually my WoW post last week, so you can imagine how excited I am to dive in! I love that the main character can literally kick ass, without having any kind of supernatural ability!*
The Lies That Bind by Lisa & Laura Roecker (Thanks, Sourcebooks!)
*I'm on the blog tour for this one in Decemeber, so I am really looking forward to starting it!*
Tempestuous by Kim Askew & Amy Helmes (Thanks, Merit Press!)
Exposure by Kim Askew & Amy Helmes (Thanks, Merit Press!)
*These two books are part of the Twisted Lit series on the new YA imprint, Merit Press. They are twisted takes on Shakespeare's The Tempest and Macbeth. I've already started Tempestuous and it's really funny!*
The Girl in the Wall by Daphne Benedis-Grab (Thanks, Merit Press!)
*I always like a good mystery, throw in ex-best friends, a teen idol, and some bad guys holding people hostage, and I'm all in!*
Won:
The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett (Thanks, Mindee!!)
*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Seriously, so freaking pumped for this one. I won it from Mindee back in June, but the ARCs weren't available until now, so you can imagine the mailbox stalking that went on when she told me she'd mailed it :0) *
Emily's Dress and Other Missing Things by Kathryn Burak (Thanks, Kathryn and the folks at Sleuths, Spies, and Alibis!)
*I originally read this book from NetGalley and fell head over heels for it, so I was super stoked when I found out I won a signed copy! My review will be up this week, along w/ a signed copy giveaway from Kathryn! You guys want to read this one :0) *
Bought:
Pure by Jennifer L. Armentrout
*I have book one, so naturally I need book two in preparation for book three!*
Torched by Andrea Lynn Colt
*Miranda Kenneally was talking about this on Twitter, so I checked it out on Goodreads and realized I must own it!*
Phew! That's a lot of books, my poor shelves...hehe. So, this is completely unrelated to books, but I also got quite a haul of delicious chocolate this week and I wanted to share! I'm currently doing the Weight Watchers points plan and have found that a square of dark chocolate satisfies a sweet craving while costing very little in points, so it's a win/win :0)
The Nightmare Affair! I'm so jealous, I can't wait to read that one! :) I hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYAY books and chocolate, nothing is better. Very awesome stacks of books. Happy Reading!
