Stacking the Shelves (#169)


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, March 13th to Saturday, March 19th?

In the mail:








Thank you, Random House!


Penguin Teen tote bag and buttons

Woohoo, buttons! Thank you for the trade, Leah!


For Review:



Thank you, Angry Robot! I've already read this one (my review is HERE) - it was awful! (Sorry!)


Spring break has come and gone! I'll be back to posting mail hauls irregularly. The week was really relaxing, exactly what I need. :) How are you all?

  1. Glad you had a relaxing week. Sorry your break is over. Mine starts next week.
    I notice that the first three books all seem to have a come theme to the cover - a sword. Interesting. Happy reading! Hope you enjoy them all.

    1. It is, I love the sampler! I never thought I'd like samplers but... the printed ones are cool. I also really enjoyed The Winner's Kiss as a whole. :D

  20. Seeing Warrior Witch makes me sad all over again! D:
    But wohoo for an awesome haul! I hope you love all of the ones you haven't read yet anddd I can't wait to see your thoughts on And I Darken. I didn't request it because Kiersten White's books and I have a love hate relationship. I want to see what friends think of it first!
    Happy reading, Alyssa!

    1. I know what you mean about White's books! I've liked about 50% of the ones I've read.

      Thank you, Nick!

  21. Our break starts on Wednesday afternoon, so I still have that to look forward to.
    I love Kiersten White, and I'm curious about what you'll think And I Darken! I love the Graceling series, too, and I'm so happy for you that you got that last ARC to complete your collection :)
    Have a fantastic week and happy reading.
