Stacking the Shelves (#87)


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 17th to Saturday, August 23rd?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:



I actually got this last Saturday but was feeling really lazy and didn't post it. Thank you, Romina!




From Edelweiss:



Other than the fact that I think this cover is atrocious, I'm really excited to read this book!


Wednesday. I move back in at Hopkins on Wednesday. Thursday. Classes start on Thursday.

  1. Ooh, I LOVE that Zodiac Swag!! Truly epic!!! I got an ARC and that's one that I'm highly debating moving up the list on my TBR pile!!! But I'm trying to wait at least until October, but I don't think that will work out...lol!

    I haven't heard of The Viscount Who Lived Down the Lane, but I hope you enjoy it!

    Check out my STS:

      Thank you, Jillyn! I may totally take you up on that. Seriously. Thank you!

  16. Oh, fun swag! Zodiac sounds so good, I can't wait for it! And good luck with the first week of school. I remember the dread not so fondly ;) Classes are so annoying. A few semesters I scheduled ONLY Tues/Thurs classes. It was heaven. Hope it goes well for you :)

    1. I hope Zodiac is awesome! I've been (not so) patiently waiting for that one :D I wish I could schedule my classes like that! It does work that way for me. Thank you so much, Shannon!

    1. I love Boyle's books, so hopefully it is great! Thank you, Brandi.

  18. Yay swag!
    Also, I'm kinda snorkling laughing at the Viscount cover, haha. There's just something very off about it, which is weird, b/c I think the rest of the series has pretty "normal" covers, lol. Hope it's good anyway ;)

    And good luck with school! That seems so soon! I start next Tuesday :'|

    PS. Here's my SP & STS (:

    1. It's really bad, I don't even know why. I almost didn't pick it up - I wouldn't have, if not for the author. She's fabulous! Thank you so much, Cyn!

  21. Being too lazy is the story of my life. That's why I haven't posted real pictures of my physical books the past two weeks--I'm too lazy to find my camera. :) :) Yeesh, I agree that cover is terrible. But oh my gosh, I don't know why, but the title sets me to giggling. Hehe.

    And yay for the beginning of class! Are you pumped? Are you taking anything interesting this semester? It's weird knowing that everyone else is starting and I'm just twiddling my thumbs. I hope it's wonderful!! :D

    1. HAHAHAHAAHA :D I use my crappy phone camera like whateverrrrrr.

      LOL it's like we're going back to old-school historical romance covers. This one is just so off!

      And I'm actually seriously dreading it - I've never felt *this* horrible towards school before. It's quite depressing, because it's new territory for me - I've never not wanted to go to school this badly. I mean, there's not wanting to go, but then there is absolutely dreading going. But. I'm going. Thank you, Rachel!
