Stacking the Shelves (#35)


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, in which bloggers share the books and swag they've received in the past week!


So, what did I get in the week of Sunday, August 18th to Saturday, August 24th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:



I haven't read this book yet, but I'm really excited to get started!


Read this book and LOVED it! My most anticipated novel of 2013 is now one of my favorite novels EVER :)


I don't read many anthologies, but this one sounds awesome, and has so many great authors featured!




I won this book form Penguin on Twitter, and I can't wait to read it!


I still have to read Alice in Zombieland, but the good news is that I have it on my Kindle!


That's it. I know, not too much. That could be a good thing though! This is my last Stacking the Shelves post before I go to college!

    I am super excited about the Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. I won that from Penguin last week and I'm getting excited every time the mail shows up, thinking today might be the day (but alas, not yet).

    I've heard a lot about Fangirl...so I might check that out.

    Here's my StS

    2. Jessica @ Step Into FictionAugust 25, 2013 at 3:39 AM

      That's what I'm being told so I'm REALLY excited! (How long did it take you to get Earthbound from when you won it? lol)

      I think I'll give Fangirl a go but maybe I should try out Eleanor & Park first? That's another one of her's that I've heard amazing things about.

      Tooooo many books, not enough time! :(

    3. AlyssaAugust 25, 2013 at 4:49 PM

      I got Earthbound... in about three weeks.

      I haven't read Eleanor & Park! So I can't say. I have heard that E&P and Attachments are super good (especially E&P), but I never got around to reading either D:

      THAT IS EXACTLY IT, JESSICA :o

    YAY FOR COLLEGE! Where are you going? What are you studying? College is fun. I'm going to be sad to graduate. :)

    Anyways... I've had a copy of Fangirl for forever and am dying to read it; it looks so good! I am more than dying to read Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea--it just looks so creeeeepy. And, you know, I have yet to read Alice in Zombieland. I've got a copy, but it's never just called my name so I've never picked it up. Oh well. :) Happy reading!!
