Stacking the Shelves (#114)


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, February 22nd to Saturday, February 28th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of On the Fence by Kasie West

Thank you, Emma! This completes one trade, a step closer to my Kasie West ARC collection!

An ARC of Forged by Erin Bowman (unsolicited)

 I already have Magonia and Forged, and I didn't LOVE The Taking; never heard of Endangered.  Empire of Night was the only one I requested, and I'll be reviewing it on Tuesday! Thank you for all of this, Harper!
From NetGalley:


Mania by J.R. Johansson

 I liked Insomnia a lot, and Paranoia was okay... but I definitely want to continue this series!


The Shattered Court by M.J. Scott

 Eeee! I have been aching to read this one! Fantasy! Lovely cover! 
From Amazon:

The One You Want by Gena Showalter

Hey, it was free! Plus, I love Gena's books!
I barely slept at all this week! Seriously, a lot of three- and four-hour nights of sleep this week... but I churned out a ton of work and I feel pretty great about it all (despite feeling even more sleep-deprived than before). I hope everyone is doing well! How was your week? :)

    Ooooh, cannot wait to see what you go from Harper!
    I do hope you'll manage to get some sleep this weekend at home!
    I also got approved for Mania, cannot wait to see what will happen now, because like you, Paranoia was a bit more meh for me, but I need to know what will happen now!

      Officially updated! And I hope so too, but that's doubtful. Two more weeks until spring break O_O I didn't enjoy Paranoia as much as I'd hoped, but I'm hoping things will close out well with Mania!

      Woo hoo! Great stuff! Some lovely sequels! I've heard of Endangered, it sounds pretty good. I haven't heard any feedback yet, though. You did well :)

  5. Jessica @ a GREAT readFebruary 28, 2015 at 2:52 PM

    Ahh! Hope you get some sleep this weekend! I never understood how people can function like that! Let alone staying up so late to do whatever it is that needs doing!

    And ooh, this is the second time I am seeing The Shattered Court and I am loving that cover! Is this a new series? Like a first in? Standalone? Just wondering if there's an earlier title I need to look at first!

    Happy Reading!

    My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!

    Have a GREAT day!

      I honestly don't know how I do it either. Throw in the fact that I don't drink coffee/caffeine. Wheeee...

      And it IS a new series! I've never read anything by the author. I can't to read this one though!

      Thank you so much, Jessica!

    The cover for Shatter Court is gorgeous! West writes the best contemporary romances :)

    I didn't know that you had an ARC collection... I usually keep my ARCs too, unless I"m going to a signing. I hope you love them all Alyssa!

      I hope it's as good as its cover belies! And I only do ARC collections of some series, not many at all. West, Silver, Bowman, Tucholke, Hocking, Richards... well, that IS a lot. LOL

    Rook sounds so amazing! I love how it takes place in a futuristic Paris. It's just such an awesome concept. I can't wait for it to be released! :)

    Love the cover of The Shattered Court. I'll be on the lookout for your review. I've not heard of this one I don't think. YAY HARPER. And I hope Public Enemies is good. The cover change breaks my heart. I love the packaging of Rook! I love Sharon Cameron so can't wait to read that one. Enjoy!

    You got a great stack of books Alyssa! That's awesome you're trading to get some collections. I love seeing that happen for people. Rook sounds really good, and I need to go see if that Showalter book is still free! :D Have a great week girl!

    Oh, I hear you on the sleep deprivation! And this week is only going to be worse, I fear! Hope you are able to get more sleep. I am so excited for Rook! Magonia wasn't really my favorite, but I do hope you enjoy all of these! Have a great week, and get some rest ;)

      For me as well - these next two weeks are going to SUCK O_O But then spring break is mid-March, and I'll be getting my wisdom teeth pulled, so at least there is some sort of low-key laziness to that? Anyway, thank you so much, Shannon! You rock <3
