Stacking the Shelves (#48)


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, November 17th to Saturday, November 23rd?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:

Okay, so, I don't know EXACTLY what Harper Collins sent me, but apparently, at home, there is a giant package with multiple books in it, waiting for me. I usually go home on weekends to do laundry and get my mail, but I'm going home on Tuesday for the holidays, so I figured I'd stay at school for the weekend.

A bit of a mistake, no? I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE PACKAGE! It came on Wednesday! WEDNESDAY! THIS IS AGONY!

But don't worry, I'll post pictures next Saturday.


From NetGalley:




I know, I know. That's it? But remember: giant package with many books from Harper Collins. And also, THIS COULD BE GOOD FOR ME :D

We'll see.

In advance, have a great Thanksgiving, my USA-ian STS commenters!

  1. I didn't know that Bitter Sweet Love was on NG. You are so lucky to get a package from Harper Collins. I bet it's filled with a lot of great books.

    1. LOL don't! It'll be available soon! And YES! My first non-requested package from Harper. Granted, I've only every requested one ARC from them, back in August, and I got it a few days later.

      Thank you!

  15. ooo! EXCITING! getting packages is so much fun! I love Harper ARC day here at The Bookcase! Enjoy - and do tell what's in your box! Happy reading!

  19. Yay Bitter Sweet Love! I am so jealous of everyone that got that! I have WHK, but wanted to wait to read it until I read this one. I hope you enjoy it!!! :) I'm excited to see what's in your Harper package! I've only requested a physical arc from them once and was declined so I haven't asked for any more. LOL.

    1. THEY REALLY DO THOUGH! Thank you for being excited for and with me, Jasprit! I'm like, dying to go home, for the holidays AND for the package! ^_^

  25. Whoa, is Bitter Sweet Love on NetGalley? How did I miss this?
    You are crazy! I still get some books to my moms house since I moved earlier this year and when I get books there I make (politely demand) her open it and send me a picture of what it is. Or else I just go crazy wondering what it is.
    Oh and where I love, it's usually in the 90's-100's most of the year. In the summer it gets up to 110-115 degrees so 50-60 is freezing for me right now. I would never be able to survive in the East coast. I would turn into a popsicle.
    Enjoy your books and happy holidays!

    1. I got an invite, so I'm not sure if it is available for request yet :o

      And HA! I don't want my mother (or father) near my packages! I want to be the one to open them! I'm very territorial/possessive like that. MINE ;)

      And ahhh, I would love that kind of heat, but not year-round. I would melt ;D We are opposites! But I feel like I would adapt more easily, since I get a dose of all four, and you barely scratch the surface of the seasons lol ^_^

      Thank you, Nereyda! <3

  26. I don't see how you can sit there and not be in agony knowing that you have a package waiting for you! I would be dying to get home and see! I wonder if it's the same one I got with ASK AGAIN LATER, TREMOR, and DEATH SWORN. But you mentioned on my STS you had DS, so who knows! Hope you love whatever it is you got!

    1. Believe me, I'm dying here. It came on WEDNESDAY. I can't... it's just... AH! I kind of hope the package is similar to what I've seen - Evertrue, Avalon, Cruel Beauty, Her Dark Curiosity. I already have Death Sworn, and I didn't read the books before Tremor, but I wouldn't complain.

      But yeah, we'll see. Thank you, Christine!

  27. Is that not the worst part of being at school? I never give out my school addresses because they change every year, so when I don't go home and I get packages and I can't have them it's the worst. Also, HARPER COLLINS PACKAGE MEANS GREAT THINGS FOR YOU. It makes waiting to go home worse, but so much more exciting when you get there!!

    1. EXACTLY! That's why I don't give pubs my school address! Giveaways, gifts, etc., sure. But not something as permanent as publishers.

      And YES! It means I'm finally good enough! *phew* Thank you so much, Rachel!
