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 2nd to Saturday, August 8th?
(all links to Goodreads are provided!)
In the mail:
The only one I requested was The Immortal Heights! I cannot wait to read it, though I have eARCs of that one and Ice Like Fire already. The other two, meh, may give away or trade!
This was a trade! Thank you SO MUCH, Sondra! Now my collection is complete (see below)!
So sweet of St. Martin's Griffin to send me a paperback! I loved this series immensely.
From NetGalley:
I cannot remember for the life of me who pushed me to download this one from NetGalley - thank you, blogger friend! This will be my first Vincent read.
I can't resist Elle Kennedy's books! Berkeley/NAL auto-approval is a dangerous thing, guys ;)
MINE MINE MINE. I love Katee's books!
A collection...
My Jenny Han collection! Two ARCs, two hardcovers.
How was your week? :)
I loved Immortal Heights. It was a really good conclusion to the series. I'm looking forward to reading Ice Like Fire although I've been putting it off for triangle reasons.
ReplyDeleteSo I got Claimed too thinking I would love it since I love Elle Kennedy's books, but it was too much erotica for me. There was voyeurisms, anal and threesomes. That goes way past what I enjoy in romance books, sadly and I didn't care much for the plot. I hope you have better luck with it though.
Happy reading and have a good weekend, Alyssa! :)
Good to hear! I've been sitting on an eARC for quite some time, Ice Like Fire too. Thank you for the warning about Claimed! Given our Twitter conversation, I'm not sure I'll end up reading it -_- Wish I had known about it before downloading it! UGH!
DeleteThank you, Nick!
OOoh nice! I can't wait to read Ice Like Fire! I plan to attend an event next month where it's supposed to be on sale 2 weeks early! So hopefully I'll get it then! LOL! Now if I'll have time to read it right away will be the question! Heehee!
ReplyDeleteMenagerie! Seeing a lot of that one today! I also picked that one up and started reading it a few days ago! It's very intriguing so far and I'm definitely liking it!
Hope you enjoy all the wonderful new reads!
My STS will be up tomorrow, be sure to stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I hope you love it! And Menagerie too, Jessica! Thank you :D
DeleteYaay :D You are so lucky sweet girl. <3 I am so happy for you :) Thrilled that you got The Immortal Heights. <3 I already have it :D And have read it. And peeeeerfection :D You'll love it too. <3 Happy reading Alyssa :)
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing your review! I'm just happy I got an ARC because I needed an ARC to complete the set.
DeleteThank you!
That's cool that you finished your collection. I almost clicked the Elle Kennedy, but had already had a stack of 'clicks'. Oh yes, auto approval through the publisher is a danger thing. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I want to read it now, given what Nick said :/ But I like being on Berkeley's list, this is wonderful ;)
DeleteExcellent stack of books. I hope you love all of your new books this week.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Thank you, Grace!
DeleteI bet your shelves are beautiful because you always get some awesome books <3 Curious to hear what you think about ICE LIKE FIRE!
ReplyDeleteIf only they were in shelves and not stacks... :D Thank you, Lili!
DeleteI've been wanting to check out The Jewel and Endgame for a while. They sound excellent! Have an awesome week. :)
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Funny, those two are the two I don't quite want, not interested! Thank you, Krystianna ^_^
DeleteI got Crystal Kingdom too this week too! (I forgot to add it to my post) and it looks so pretty next to the others. I loved The White Rose and Ice Like Fire was a little on the meh side for me. I have high hop[es for book three though. You haven't read anything from Rachel Vincent?? I love her books. She is one of the authors who got me into reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul Alyssa, I hope you enjoy all your new editions!
Amber ❤ The Book Bratz
My Stacking the Shelves!
I agree! And nope, I've not read anything by Vincent. Was never interested in any of her books!
DeleteThank you, Amber!
YAY for getting the manuscrip you wanted! Books for trade can be awesome like that!
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY I was also approved for Menagerie on NG, so we can exchange notes about it! ;)
Right? I rarely participate but I'm so glad that I spotted this one!
DeleteWe should buddy read ;) If you and I sync up and/or have time! I'm looking to have a review posted on September 4th :D
We should totally buddy read Menagerie! Tell me when do you want to start it! =D
Delete*cough* Did not see this comment until now. I'm sorry we didn't buddy-read Menagerie! Maybe Spectacle? :D :D
DeleteI loved Immortal Heights Alyssa and I'm sure you will too. I also got Menangerie this week. What do you mean your first Vincent read?! Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will! And LOL yup. I've not read any by her!
DeleteThanks, you too, Liza!
Wow! What a great haul. Menagerie and Crystal Kingdom are two I really want to read. Hoping to add them both to my shelf soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
And I hope you love them both, Marilyn! Have a lovely week :)
DeleteCongrats on getting the PS bound manuscript! Those were definitely hard to come by! I got Menagerie recently, too, and like you it will be my first Rachel Vincent read! Excited for it though! :D
ReplyDeleteIt really was though! I mean, how many people went to TLA?! Not that many! And ahh, yaaass, I'm not the only poor soul who has not read an Rachel Vincent novels! Popping our Vincent cherries lol
DeleteHappy reading!
I definitely have my eye on Menagerie. I hope you enjoy! I have Claimed, I just need to find time to get to it. And I totally agree, Berkley auto approval can be DANGEROUS. I got His Lover to Protect, too. I'm really excited about that one!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
That's a Wrap Weekly [3]
I LOVED His Lover To Protect, Kim! Hopefully you enjoy everything ^_^
DeleteNice book haul. It's always nice to complete a collection. :-)
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental Sherry's Shelves
Yes ma'am, I agree!
DeleteCrystal Kingdom sounds good, hope that you enjoy and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot! And you too, Brandi ^_^
DeleteWow - so many good lookin' books, Alyssa!! I'm definitely a bit TOO envious of all your newly acquired reads. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteJulia Anne @ Peach Print
Awww! *hugs* Thank you, Julia Anne!
DeleteUgh, Nick told me about Claimed and I'm glad I didn't download (procrastination pays off sometimes). I don't mind sex in books but this like it's over the top.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather re-read The Deal :)
I wish I had known earlier! I am sooooo not reading it. LOL.
DeleteI need to read The Deal!
Nice stack! I got the same books from Harper - The Immortal Heights is a fantastic series ender, and I've been enjoying Amy Ewing's series (despite the bad reviews).
ReplyDeleteHappy reading to you!
I'm glad you're liking Ewing's series! Happy reading, Danielle!
DeleteSo jealous of your haul! I loved the Amanda Hocking series, but have only read them as egalleys, and must soon own them all and their beautiful covers! Great haul, and thanks for stopping by my post earlier!
ReplyDeleteI hope you obtain the print copies then, Lisa! Happy reading!
DeleteSo many great books! I'm so jealous. I love them all. Happy reading :)
