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, December 28th to Saturday, January 3rd?

I have been aching to read The Sin Eater's Daughter! And Salt & Stone. I just won a signed ARC of Salt & Stone from Victoria on Twitter (before I knew I was getting an ARC from Scholastic), so I'll definitely be giving this one away in February!
First Stacking the Shelves post of 2015 - not bad! 2015 has gotten off to a great start for me :) After just two weeks, I'll be back at Hopkins for winter classes on Monday, so I might be less active than usual. This winter break has been wonderful - albeit short - and honestly, I'm pretty content at the moment :) *hugs everyone*
Awesome haul. I love the covers for those two books. I really enjoyed Salt and Storm, so I hope you love Salt and Stone.

Salt & Storm and Salt & Stone are not related!
DeleteI'm so jealous! I'm dying to read The Sin Eater's Daughter!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll be giving away a copy in February :D
Delete*hugs* So glad that the winter break was exactly what you needed!!
ReplyDeleteAND OH DEAR!! THE SINS EATER'S DAUGHTER!!! I cannot wait to hear what you think of that one!
Thank yo so much! And I hope it's as awesome as everyone on Twitter has been saying ^_^
DeleteI really can't wait to read The Sin Eater's Daughter. My friend got a copy and said I could borrow it after she's done! The cover is AMAZING! Enjoy your haul. My STS
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it, Brooke!
DeleteNice! I wonder if my copy of Salt and Stone is one the way then...just saw another blogger receive a copy! I'm on the tour and have a review to post for my day...so I kinda need the copy. Wonder how long I should wait before I go insane....
ReplyDelete;) LOL! Happy Reading!
My STS will be up tomorrow, stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
LOL I hope you get a copy then...
DeleteYay Salt & Stone! I requested it, but sadly never got a copy, which was strange since I got the first one... Oh well. I have plenty to read anyway. LOL. I do hope you enjoy it! The Sin Eater's Daughter caught my attention the other day so I'm really curious about how you're like it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with classes on Monday!
I hope you DO get a copy, Jess! And dudeee, The Sin Eater's Daughter is supposed to be FABULOUS *crosses fingers* Let's hope!
DeleteThank you so much!
Awesome haul! I received the same books! I already read SALT & STONE a while back, it was good, but I loved FIRE & FLOOD more. SALT & STONE didn't send that pulse of adrenaline through me like FIRE & FLOOD did. It seemed like their wasn't enough obstacles for them to go through. But it was still really good! But THE SIN EATER'S DAUGHTER, I have been DYING TO READ!!! I actually couldn't wait any loner, I'm reading it now. I'm only a couple pages in, but It started out pretty good!
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS:

Hmmm, that's a good heads-up then. I'll get to both next week.
DeleteOoohhh! The Sin Eater's Daughter! I'm totally jealous! Great start to 2015! Enjoy your books, you lucky duck!

Thank you, Aneta! That means a lot to me <3
DeleteI really need to catch up on my Victoria Scott books! I have a hard time finding the time during the holiday's to read! I am hoping to read more for 2015! Great books for you this week!

I was the opposite - I read so much during the holidays! We didn't host any of the holidays this year (only Thanksgiving), so we didn't have as much work to do.
DeleteThank you!
The Sin Eaters Daughter looks AMAZING! Thanks for sharing, happy new year :-)
ReplyDeleteEm @ http://theyabookbutterfly.blogspot.com/
I hope it's as good as it looks ;D Thank you!
DeleteYou have The Sin Eater's Daughter!! I'm really intrigued by that one. And congrats on the win yay! Hope you enjoy both of these~
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it, if you read it, Eileen! And thank you :)
DeleteSooooo, everyone has been talking about The Sin Eater's Daughter lately and I'm not really interested in it? I dunno - if so many people started talking about it, I might give it a chance.
ReplyDeleteHopkins already on Monday?! Girl, you are so dedicated. Have fun and good luck with winter classes!
I really want it for the FANTASY! I hope you give it a shot, Kelly. And LOL! Thank you! :D
DeleteWhat an awesome haul! I'm super excited for both of these too. The Sin Eater's Daughter sounds soo good! Also, good luck back at Hopkins! :)
ReplyDeleteAriel @ Bookish Confessions
I hope you enjoy them if/when you read them! And thank you so much <3
DeleteOh, so beautiful! I requested both of these, and while I knew what the answer would be... it stings a bit ;) I hope you love them both! And I am glad you had such a wonderful break, and that the new semester goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
WAIT BUT YOU STILL MIGHT! Don't give up hope!
DeleteThank you so much, Shannon!
I am very jealous of your haul. I just requested The Sin Eater's Daughter yesterday and now I am all nerves!! (It was my first ARC request) I am going to have to watch out for your giveaway but I need Salt & Stone in my life. Great haul Alyssa and I can't wait to see your reviews for them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Brandi! I hope you get to read it!
DeleteThe Sin Eater's Daughter sounds amazing! I wasn't too interested in it originally, but so many great reviews for it started popping up. I really enjoyed Fire & Flood, so I'm definitely excited for Salt & Stone, too. I hope you enjoy your books :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good! I'm hoping it's as good as everyone keeps saying. And same with Salt & Stone! I hope you love both of these, if you read them, Montana. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with school! I go back Monday, too. The last 2 weeks definitely went by waaaaay to quickly!
Have an awesome week, Alyssa, happy new year!
I hope you enjoy it if you read it, Cyn! I especially love the cover, but it's fantasy, so a win-win situation!
DeleteAnd omg right?! I'm wary of these winter classes... they should be fine though. Thank you so much, Cyn! <3
I am anxious to hear what you think of The Sin Eater's Daughter, romance-wise. I will be awaiting your review!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have Salt & Stone, too! So excited to read it. :D
Happy reading to you!
I know right?! I keep hearing about a potential love triangle. No thank you! I hope you enjoy Salt & Stone!
DeleteWoo, I'm so glad your year has started off well!! I hope you're taking some awesome classes this semester, too! :D
ReplyDeleteTHE SIN-EATER'S DAUGHTER. I wants it! I totally forgot to request it from Scholastic, so now I'm hoping it'll be on Netgalley soon so I can get it there. Otherwise I'll just buy it. :) I can't wait to hear what you think!!!
Have a wonderful week, Alyssa!
I don't know about awesome... required, yes :D Some of them are cool though. I hope you get to read The Sin Eater's Daughter! Or buy it. It's $2.99 on Amazon, if you preorder it!
DeleteThank you, Rachel!
