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, November 9th to Saturday, November 16th?
(all links to Goodreads are provided!)
In the mail:
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JESS FROM LOVIN LOS LIBROS, FOR LENDING ME YOUR ARC! She's fantastic, you all. Like, one of my favorite people in the world Just saying.
An Allegiant tote bag
An Allegiant t-shirt (size SMALL, oh my gosh! YAY!)
I know, I know. Believe me, I've heard all the rumors, seen many spoilers, and read many reviews of this book. But, big thanks to Amazon for sending me this fabulous prize pack! I won this awesome contest - pretty cool, in my opinion.
HUGE thanks to Penguin, for sending me my first requested ARC (from a Penguin imprint)!

Can't wait to get started on this one as well! That's not new though ;)
From NetGalley:
O_O
From Edelweiss:
A much awaited sequel! I cannot wait to get started :D
For Review:
I have only read one book by Lisa - a novella - but oh, am I excited to read this one!
PHEW! My two weeks of agony are over! For now, anyway. I'm really pleased that it's the weekend, and Thanksgiving is almost here! I love the holidays :)
I absolutely LOVE The Winner's Curse cover! Of course, I'm excited to read Allegiant too! (is it bad i haven't yet read insurgent?? gah! too much to read...) Enjoy these new books! Will you be seeing Catching Fire on the 22nd? SO excited!!!
ReplyDeleteME TOO! It is so amazing. And it's a YA historical fiction novel. I'm glad that you're excited to read Allegiant! It's totally okay to be excited for a book when you haven't read the previous one(s) - that's how I am with Champion (Lu) and Dreams of Gods and Monsters (Taylor). I'm not sure about Catching Fire - we'll see! I didn't see The Hunger Games, but I mean, I don't really have to see The Hunger Games to see Catching Fire lol
DeleteHa! So true! Also, same here! I haven't read Champion yet but I LOVED Legend and Prodigy. Great books!
DeleteOoo, then I will be definitely be binge-reading Lu's series shortly! I need to re-read Legend.
DeleteI have to read Chantress, still. It's been sitting on my shelf since it's release but alas, hasn't been opened yet. I've had my eye on A Mad, Wicked Folly so I'm envious of that book! It sounds really good!
ReplyDeleteI've said it before but I'll say it again, congratulations on that awesome prize pack from Amazon. I mean, just winning something from Amazon is celebration enough but it's a great prize!
Come check out my books <3
Ooo, I hope you do read Chantress, Jess! I loved that book. And AMWF is historical - so excited to read it! I'll let you borrow it after I read it ;)
DeleteThank you so much! I was shocked out of my mind when I got the winning email. I need to actually take a picture of my prize O_O
That was very nice of Jessica from Lovin Los Libros to loan you her arc. Great haul of books.
ReplyDeleteGrace
It was! Thank you.
DeleteGreat win! Happy reading!

DeleteWhat an amazing haul! Congrats on the Penguin book ;)
ReplyDelete-Scott Reads It!
Thank you, Scott!
DeleteOoh you've got some awesome looking books. I actually really enjoyed Allegiant, much more than I expected I would. I think it's because I lowered my expectations after all of the negativity!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that you liked Allegiant! Compared to most people's responses lol. I have like, zero expectations for this book now, thanks to the all the negative reactions and spoilers.
DeleteI really want Defy but it's US only on netgalley :(
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy them!
Awww, that's too bad! I'm sure an international version will be available for review soon. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Giselle!
DeleteYou got some really good books. I hope you enjoy Allegiant.
ReplyDeleteI think so too! Thank you, Ellen.
DeleteThe Winner's Curse looks amazing! Normally I would be fangirling over the Allegiant haul, but not anymore lol. Enjoy your reads this week.
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS this week.
It does! And I totally understand. I'm not at all excited to read Allegiant O_O
DeleteSo jealous you won that Allegiant prize pack! It looks so fun! I hope you enjoy all you got and thanks so much for stopping by my STS :)
ReplyDeleteIt does! The book, on the other hand... I'll see, I suppose. Thanks, Jessica!
DeleteYay! Great haul. I hope you love every word of The Winner's Curse. I really want to read A Mad Wicked Folly! I can't wait to see your thoughts on it. I'm iffy on Defy because of the love triangle but I am very attracted to aspects. I probably should request it on NG.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Kristen! And I may let you borrow it (I have a line of bloggers lol). I know what you mean about the love triangle - I HATE love triangles - but something tells me this one will be different. I hope you request it and get approved!

ReplyDeleteI have my lovely friend to thank! I hope I love it and can produce a review worthy of its (potential) awesomeness :D
DeleteCongrats on your nice Amazon win - that must have been exciting! FWIW, I liked the ending of Allegiant - it's everything leading up to it that was kind of blah (for me.)
ReplyDeleteThe Winner's Curse was excellent! And I agree that Jess is great. :)
Stephanie @ Inspiring Insomnia
IT WAS! I was in shock for quite some time. I mean, millions of people use Amazon!
DeleteJess is fabulous!
Thank you, Stephanie.
Wow, you won something from Amazon? I didn't think those were real. I love the cover and title for A Mad Wicked Folly. And Lisa Burstein's book looks good too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI know right?! Craziness. Thank you, Nereyda!
DeleteAwesome haul! The Winner's Curse is just gorgeous *_* I'm trying to put off reading Allegiant for as long as I can. And lucky you for getting Chantress Alchemy! <3
