Stacking the Shelves (#242)


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 6th to Saturday, August 12th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


July Novl box - including paperback copies of Illusive by Emily Lloyd-Jones and Ash by Malinda Lo, a hardcover copy of The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones, a Booked All Week tote bag, a sweet treat, a box of tea, a quote card, and a pin!

Huge thanks to the Novl team for this package! They host a monthly Novl box giveaway, and I was fortunate to win July's. I have read and loved Illusive and The Hearts We Sold!


From NetGalley:



Thank you, Disney! I am so excited to read this book. Probably not for a while, but I'm still excited!

I think that is all I got this week! I finally caved and bought two (expensive) foreign editions of books in a series that I adore. I'm not saying anything until I get them (which might be a while), but I am really excited about these books! They are definitely worth the expense. 


Check out my latest Instagram posts! Here is one from Friday:

  2. Enjoy your new books. I went on a bit of a netgalley binge yesterday so fingers crossed I get some of them soon. I have heard great things about amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner.

  3. Nice! I debated about downloading Unearthed myself, but in the end I passed. I'm kind of particular about my sci-fi/space-y books. I hope you enjoy it once you do read it! Happy Reading!

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

    Have a GREAT day!

  5. Hope you enjoy the SJTR series! I didn't like the first book as much as I was hoping to, but it was a mixed package. The covers are gorgeous, though!

    Have a lovely weekend, Alyssa, and happy reading :)

  6. Congrats on getting Unearthed. I'm dying to read that one.
    I loved Hunting Prince Dracula, I think I liked it a lot more than the first one actually.
    I hope you enjoy your new books. Have a lovely weekend.

  13. I'm desperately waiting for Stalking Jack the Ripper to arrive so that I can finally read it! I have high hopes for it so, hopefully, it won't disappoint! Also, The Hearts We Sold is one of my most anticipated reads and I cannot wait to get my hands on it! Hope you enjoy all your new books and have a wonderful week!
