Stacking the Shelves (#129)


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, June 7th to Saturday, June 13th?

In the mail:


An "Above" necklace

Thank you, Sara! I won this back in October from Novel Novice. I'd forgotten that I had won! So it was a bit of a surprise package. You'll recall that I didn't like Atlantia.



Never heard of this one. Thanks, Simon and Schuster!



I LOVE THIS BOOK! I have the hardcover (signed, too!), but I really wanted the ARC. It's an old ARC, from 2011/2012! Thank you, Brittany!



Eeep! Thank you so much, Little, Brown! I thought I missed the mailing for Court of Fives, so I asked LB, and it worked out because they had Court of Fives AND Deceptive! AHHH!


From NetGalley:



A late approval (give that this book published on June 2nd), but an approval nonetheless! Thank you, Grand Central! I'm currently reading it and am intrigued!


This week started off really badly - I had terrible pain on Sunday night, which had me awake all that night... which led me to believe that I had appendicitis. Thankfully I DON'T have appendicitis - it was an infection, which seems to have cleared up. The week ended pretty well - especially in books!

  3. Glad you feel better after that scare.

    I won The Marriage Contract at a blog tour so I'll be reading that one, too. Fun wins there especially since you forgot about them. Better than bills in that mailbox for sure.

  4. Well, that's a nice surprise? I guess? Sad when you won a book you read and hated. I find myself curious about Court of Fives! Will definitely look forward to your review!! Hope you enjoy all the new reads! ;)

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

    Have a GREAT day!

    1. I had won the book before I read it! But then I read it and I was like o.o Not for me. Thank you so much, Jessica!

  5. Awesome haul. Court of Fives is going to be a good book. I really haven't heard of the Marriage Contract. So I hope you love all your new books this week.

    1. You should! I didn't like it, but I was in the minority (which is often typical of me). LOL

  7. It's great that the scare was just that, and that the week ended much better and with cool books!!

  8. Ooh! I grabbed Court of Fives at BEA, but I'll likely be waiting on my library for Deceptive. Can't wait to see what you think of it!

  9. Aww, girl, I'm sorry about the infection! At least it wasn't appendicitis or anything like that. I'm glad it cleared up, and of course, YAY for some awesome books! I'm TOTALLY dying for Court of Fives- it sounds like my kind of book, you know?? So nice of LB to send it to you with Deception as well. <33

    Happy reading Alyssa! :D

    1. Right?! I've never been more terrified in my life. IT WAS BAD D: But the week in books was good! I hope you love Court of Fives when you get the chance to read it! Hopefully some of the BEA attendees will give away their copies and you'll have a shot at winning one early!

      Thank you - and you too, Aneeqah!

    1. I hope so too! I'm enjoying The Marriage Contract - and reading Deceptive very soon!

      Thanks so much, Carina! I know you're no stranger to medical issues, unfortunately :/ I really appreciate the kind words!

  14. I get a lot of unsolicited ARCs from Simon & Schuster, too. They even kept sending when I didn't blog for 4 years. They must be rich to waste good finished copies this way.
    Weird that you didn't get your prize for 9 months. Hope you can stop by my post. http://eviloverlordthoughts.com/weekly-wrap-up-613/

    1. They probably are, given The Mortal Instruments franchise. And it was weird, but hey, I completely forgot about it! lol

  15. Glad you're feeling better! I wish I got more unsolicited ARCs. And if you don't want that Atlantia, you can send it my way. :-)

  16. Hi Alyssa, I'm glad you're feeling better! i did have appendicitis and its NOT fun. I did like Atlantia and I participated in the tour so I was the one mailing the prizes :) I'm looking forward to see what you think about Court of Fives.

    Have a great week :)

    1. OH MY GOSH! Liza, I hope everything is okay now though! Did you have to have your appendix remove?! Yikes! And thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the book! I'll be reading it soon - if you already read it, I hope you enjoyed it! <3
