Stacking the Shelves (#74)


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 18th to Saturday, May 24th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:



Such lovely packaging! This is a bit awkward though... I downloaded the eARC before I knew I was getting a print ARC. Oh well!


From Edelweiss:



YAY historical fiction with a dash of paranormal! I cannot wait to read this one :D


From NetGalley:




YES! I can't wait to read this one!


GUYS GUYS GUYS! My laptop is finally fixed! A Dell technician came to my house on Tuesday, and he fixed it. YAY! It's only been, you know, A MONTH. But I'm glad things are fixed. Wednesday was such a great day ^_^

  3. Niiice!! My brand new laptop still isn't cooperating with me. I keep waiting for my cousin to get free time because I feel confident he'll know what to do. But he's sooooo busy! And I sooooo want to use my new laptop! :(

    Nice haul though!! I should be getting a copy of Trial by Fire from the pubs soonish. Hoping soonish because I really want to read it! Happy Reading!

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

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    1. That is terrible! I hope you get it fixed! Hopefully you had a warranty, so you can get it fixed by the company?

      Good luck with Trial by Fire! Hope you get a copy.

    1. POR FIN! And I wish you could get these kinds of things... maybe Macmillan Spain (if such a thing exists) should get on that ;) Try requesting Winterspell again, in a few days! I do that with Edelweiss, when I get rejected.

      ALSO HALA MADRID WHEEEE! I'm so excited! :D :D :D

  10. I'm really excited to read Winterspell too. I love the blend of NYC and historical+paranormal. Also, I love that packaging for Trial of Fire. I'm going to wait for reviews to come in before deciding if I want to read it.
    I'm so glad your laptop was finally fixed! :) That must have been a relief.
    Enjoy and have a lovely weekend, Alyssa! :)

  11. CONGRATS on getting your computer fixed!! That's HUGE!! I just went through 3 days with VERY limited internet access, because Verizon was having issues with some technical stuff, blah, blah! But when I got it fixed yesterday, I was jumping up and down like a little kid...lol!! I don't know know how I ever survived without the internet...lol!!

    Anyways, I LOVE that package of Trial by Fire! I got an eARC this week also but I forgot to add it in this weeks pile!

    Enjoy all your books and thanks for stopping by my STS @ Addicted Readers! :)

    1. Thank you! And ahhh, that sounds awful, Alicia! When everything is fixed, it makes you appreciate how much you missed the service, right? I survived without my computer functioning for nearly a month... scary!

      I hope you love Trial By Fire! And thank YOU, lady!

  19. Woo! I was devastated when my laptop broke, luckily my sister's boyfriend is an IT technician and had one to give me so I only had to wait a week, a month must have been pretty awful. I really want to read Trial by Fire, it looks so good. I hope you enjoy these :)
