Stacking the Shelves (17) w/ Signed Books!


Hey guys! I actually almost stuck to my book buying ban. I only bought one book this week, but I did get some awesome ones for review and won a few things, too! Just a photo and links this week, I pretty much resemble a zombie this weekend. I work retail and I had to work overnight on Black Friday, so I am totally off on my sleep. I think I might actually break my webcam w/ my zombieness...

 
 
Bought:
Blackwood by Gwenda Bond
*I keep seeing this one and I am so intrigued, because it's about Roanoke. It sounds really original and cool!*
For Review:
 
Brianna on the Brink by Nicole McInnes
*It's a contemp, but it has some serious built in drama and maybe a little bit of a dark side. The synopsis hooked me and I can't wait to start it!*
 
Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick
*Macmillan tweeted the trailer for this the other day and was offering up galleys. The trailer was totally haunting and piqued my interest, so I decided to claim one. It sounds a little spooky and really good.*
 
The Art of Wishing by Lindsay Ribar
*I love genie stories and frankly, I don't think there are near enough of them. In fact, I think the only other YA genie story I've read is As You Wish by Jackson Pearce. This one sounds like it's a little bit of a twist on the typical genie fair and I'm stoked!*
 
None of the Regular Rules by Erin Downing
*The sounds AMAZING! How could you not want to read a book about a girl trying to do everything on her late aunt's bucket list? And the cover, oh my goodness, that cover!*
 
Won:
 
The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress (Signed ARC!)
*Steampunk, mystery, kick butt trio of girls...yes, please! I'm in love w/ this cover, too.*
 
Such A Rush by Jennifer Echols (Signed Hardcover!)
*I won this as part of the October prize pack for the Standalone Reading Challenge. This is actually my second copy of this book. I bought it back when it was released in July, but I still haven't gotten to it. Which is a huge shame on me, because I want to read it so badly! I'm trying to make the time, I swear.*
 
Lost Girls by Ann Kelley
*I won this as part of the October prize pack for the Standalone Reading Challenge. It definitely looks interesting and I have heard good things, so it's definitely on my TBR.*
 
 
Huge thanks to: Holiday House, Macmillan, Penguin, Erin Downing, Adrienne Kress, Jennifer Echols, Britta and Hafsah, and Edelweiss!
