Stacking the Shelves (#21)


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, May 12th to Saturday, May 18th?

(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken
(thank you SO much, Disney Hyperion!)


A copy hardcover copy of Poison by Bridget Zinn

From NetGalley:


Prep School Confidential by Kara Taylor


From Edelweiss:




I Married the Duke by Katharine Ashe


The Trouble with Being a Duke by Sophie Barnes


eARCs for Review:




And that's it! A lovely week for me, as I got Disney Hyperion books, historical romance books (I know, I read too many of those), and so much other wonderful goodness that I know I will love.

AND, no more AP exams! YAY! Eight of eight complete. This week coming is my last week of high school EVER! :D

So, tell me about your week!

    Oh, I love learning about new books! I'm curious to see what you think of Poison by Bridget Zinn. We have it in the store and people have asked about it, but I don't know much about it or if it's any good. Can't wait for the review!

    Happy reading this week!
