Stacking the Shelves (#162)


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 24th to Saturday, January 30th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke

Thank you, Penguin!


An ARC of Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

WITH THE ORIGINAL COVER! Thank you so much for the trade, Raquel!


An ARC of Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

From @Celeste_Pewter - thank you so much!

Riders by Veronica Rossi swag

I won this bundle from Veronica on Twitter! If you don't follow her there, you should. :)


An ARC of The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury

WITH THE ORIGINAL COVER! Penguin and their cover changes. Guys, I loved this book so much. Thank you, Jennie, for the trade!


From Edelweiss:


Under the Wire by HelenKay Dimon

Got this one on a whim because I ADORE Dimon's books!


Ivory and Bone by Julie Eshbaugh

The only book I downloaded from Edelweiss, from this recent Harper drop!


Not a bad week! The snowstorm was pretty rough last week, and classes started on Wednesday. I'm trying to find my footing with spring classes, so bear with me for the next few weeks.

    You got some really sweet stuff this week! I am SO excited for Glass Sword! I ordered the one from Barnes and Noble with the alternate ending for Red Queen, I'm excited for that! I'm also excited to see what you think of Ivory and Bone! That ones sounds really good! I hope you love all of your new books!

      Thank you, Cyra! I'll be reviewing it on Monday (hopefully). I'm a little wary of the series overall, but I can't wait to start it.

      I am a little wary of Ivory and Bone too! But hopefully it's great.

      Thank you, Cyra!

    Awesome haul. I didn't even realize that Harper had an Edelweiss drop this week. I've been trying to be good and not request anything.

    I've heard great things about Wink, Poppy, Midnight. I hope you enjoy your books. I am hoping Glass Sword is more to my liking than the first book. I had a lot of issues with it. Have a great weekend! My STS

    OOooh curious for Wink Poppy Midnight! And Glass Sword yay!! Rebel of the Sands and Ivory and Bone are others I keep seeing, so naturally, my curiosity is starting!

    Hope you enjoy all the fantastic new reads!

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

    Have a GREAT day!

    I really hope you like Ivory & Bone! No love triangle I promise. Woohoo, thrilled you found an original Rebel which I know you wanted, tbh I like the new cover better though. Have you read it? I keep hearing how good the book is....Wink Poppy Midnight seems a bit odd but also engaging, so I can't wait to hear your thoughts! <3

      I hope you're right, because I trusted your opinion with Burning Glass's romance. :O I like both covers of Rebel! I'm reading it tomorrow.

      I've been sitting on the ARC for months! The publicist asked me not to post my review until February (which made me break out in hives a little - I finished up my February pile by mid-January!). I've seen a ton of not-so-hot reviews, but I'll be reading it for myself this Thursday. :D Hopefully we both love it, Amber. :)

      Thank you!

    I adored Wink Poppy Midnight!! I hope you do, too! :D OMG I loved the original cover of Forbidden Wish--why on earth did they change it! I'm waiting for a few more reviews to pop up of Ivory and Bone before decided to read it--I'm not sure that synopsis grabs me. LOL If you love it, let me know! :D

      I remember seeing that! I'm pretty excited about it. And I adored The Forbidden Wish! If you haven't read it, you totally should, Becky.

      I know what you mean about Ivory and Bone! I got confirmation that there is NO love triangle, so I'm pretty much sold. Reading it next month, I think!

      So far Glass Sword is pretty good! I'm a little scared of the ending.
