Stacking the Shelves (#53)


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, December 22nd to Saturday, December 28th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott

Thank you, Scholastic!


A hardcover copy of Not a Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis

Thank you, Jess! I cannot wait to actually read this one :D


From NetGalley:


To Tempt A Viking by Michelle Willingham

Loved the first one! Can't wait to read this companion novel.


 Last Stacking the Shelves post of 2013! It's been quite the year, hasn't it? :)

    Not a Drop to Drink! Heard such good things about this book. I love that it is a standalone too! Definitely picking it up as soon as I can

      Me too! I originally got it for review, but never read it, unfortunately. This gives me a second chance!

      Well, we can't all like everything! In fact, sometimes it's good when I don't like a mainstream, popular novel - it makes me feel like I have a diverse opinion.

      You're very welcome! :)

      Yes - I'm trying to downsize LOL. Also, it's the holidays, so pubs are down. And I didn't ask for books this Christmas.

    I loved Not A Drop To Drink and I hope you'll enjoy it too, it's a great stand alone and a different kind of dystopian!

    And I'm so envious of you getting Fire & Flood!
