Stacking the Shelves (#7)


 
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, February 3rd to Saturday, February 9th?

(all links to Goodreads are provided!)

 
A paperback copy of Matched by Ally Condie
A Matched poster
Three buttons (one for each book in the series)
A Matched compact


An ARC of Venom by Fiona Paul (my second one... so I'll be giving one away soon)

A hardcover copy of Splintered by A.G. Howard

An ARC of The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd


Thank you...

YAY for this week! Lots of fun stuff, but I didn't get any mail yesterday or today o.O


What did you get this week? :)

    OMG I love your new books!!! I personally wasn't crazy about Matched, but only because I liked the guy on the 'losing' side of the love triangle. But if you like the main love interest, I think you'll enjoy the story! Also, I ADORED Splintered (and the book is so freaking pretty). I haven't read Venom but it sounds super good!!

      Neither was I - and I didn't even finish Crossed. I agree with you about the love triangle - I was "for" the other guy. But YAY about Splintered! :D

    The Madman's Daughter looks interesting. I wasn't all that thrilled with Matched. I haven't read Splintered.

    OOH! LUCKY, girly! The Madman's Daughter looks good, and so does Venom. I told a friend that I'd treat myself to it soon-- here's hoping! And Splintered is AWESOME. I LOVED it. I really like your poster! But like almost every other commenter...Matched was meh. I never even started the next in the series, because the first book just didn't grab me. Anywho, happy reading, and thanks for stopping by, girly!! (:

    Omygoodness. SPLINTERED!! I hope enjoy that one because I sure did. :) I'm excited for The Madman's Daughter, I'll be getting my copy today. XD And Venom...venom was disappointing. Really disappointing but I hope you enjoy it more than I did. :) Thank you so much for dropping by our blog! Can't believe we haven't been following you but...there. New follower via GFC! :D

      YAY! I am so glad that you liked Splintered - the overall consensus is IT'S REALLY GOOD! So I will read that one... next maybe? :)

      And then The Madman's Daughter. And I agree - Venom was a huge let-down for me. I gave it 3 stars, and felt generous.

      Thank you so much! ^_^
