Stacking the Shelves (#108)


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, January 11th to Saturday, January 17th?

In the mail:


An ARC of Last Year's Mistake by Gina Ciocca


YAY! Thank you, Gina!


An ARC of The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Thank you, Jess!


An ARC of Lion Heart by A.C. Gaughen

Thank you, Bloomsbury!


An ARC of Sweet by Emmy Laybourne
An ARC of Nil Unlocked by Lynne Matson
An ARC of Velvet by Temple West
An ARC of Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

Thank you, Macmillan!


A super cool Half Bad package - paperback copy, mug, hot chocolate ("witches brew")

I'm not sure why I received this but THANK YOU PENGUIN AND WHOEVER ELSE WAS INVOLVED!! I love the surprise!


From Edelweiss:


The Invasion of the Tearling by Erika Johansen

I liked The Queen of the Tearling!


One more week of winter classes, and then the spring semester starts right away! This past week was pretty good - in books and in life!

    Awesome haul! That Half Bad box is so awesome. I'm hoping to pick up a copy of Half Bad sometime soon to finally read it because it sounds like something I'd really enjoy. The Conspiracy of Us sounds so good and I love the cover! I hope you enjoy all of your books. :)

    I am glad school/life is going well for you. Thanks soooooooooo much for posting about The Invasion of the Tearling. I had been checking EW faithfully for it every day up until last week (figures I would give up the day before they listed it) I was going to check again on Monday, but this gave me a full 24 hour jump on that. I groveled like crazy in the request form special comments. Lol. I adored The Queen of the Tearling and TIotT is in my top four most anticipated in 2015!

      eARC are sooo great though, so space issues! I try and only request ARCs that I know I can't get eARCs of. But in some cases, I win things, or get ARCs unsolicited...

      Anyway, thank you!

    GAH Nil Unlocked! I want that one so badly! I am really interested in The Conspiracy of Us too. And the Half Bad package was such an amazing surprise, no? Mine had a card in it that it was from Big Honcho Media, so I guess that is who sent it, I was so excited! I have been really wanting to read it :)

    I am glad you've had a good week, it is nice to hear! I hope this next week treats you just as nicely :)

      I hope you get the chance to read Nil Unlocked! And I also got the card, but BHM works with publishers, so someone in Penguin must have been really excited to send it to us.

      Thank you so much, Shannon!

    That's an amazing haul, Alyssa! I'm reeeeeally curious about Last Year's Mistake - I'm nervous is might be kind of triangle-y? Anyway, I'll be waiting for your thoughts on that one. :)
    I also got Velvet and Sweet, and I can't wait to binge the Scarlet series later this year. :)
    Happy reading!
