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, August 3rd to Saturday, August 9th?
(all links to Goodreads are provided!)
In the mail:
An ARC of The Young Elites by Marie Lu
!!!!!!!!!!

An ARC of A Cold Legacy by Megan Shepherd
YAY! I enjoyed (ish) the first two books, so I am pretty excited to read the conclusion!
YAY! I enjoyed (ish) the first two books, so I am pretty excited to read the conclusion!
An ARC of Polaris by Mindee Arnett
Yes! I really liked book one, and since this is a duology series, this book is the end! Ahhh!
An ARC of Willowgrove by Kathleen Peacock
There. Are. No. Words.
Actually, there are. I've been waiting for this one for quite some time - and it's finally in ARC form, woohoo! I love this series, so I'm excited to read the end!

A hardcover copy of Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor
... I ordered this back in April. THANKS, Barnes & Noble. I haven't read book two yet, but I'm re-reading book one (it's been nearly three years since I read it, and then binge-reading books two and three!)
A paperback copy of Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Currently reading this bad boy! ANOTHER conclusion novel in this week's haul!

A hardcover copy of Air Keep by J. Scott Savage
A (late) birthday present for my sister, so it's not for me. But I took the picture of the set. So there.
A paperback copy of The Elementals by Saundra Mitchell
I LOVED the first two books, so so much! I can't believe I never got around to reading this one. Well, now I must, because I have a copy!
A coin collecting book for the National State Park Quarters
Little-known fact about me - I LOVE coin-collecting. I have all of the state quarters, most of the National Parks quarters (that have been minted), the presidential gold dollars, and a ton of uncommon and/or rare coins. YAY COINS!
From NetGalley:
I like Johansson's work! Her first two books were pretty great. This one sounds creepy and interesting... of course I will give it a shot, I love this author!
From Edelweiss:
The Duke of Dark Desires by Miranda Neville
Historical romance for the win! :)
Another great week! How are you all?
Awesome haul, Alyssa! I still need to get Opposition. I'm kind of afraid to read it though because it's the last one.
ReplyDeleteMy StS @ Marilyn's Mystery Blog
I know what you mean! I'm having a hard time reading it, to be honest.
DeleteSpeaking of waiting forever for books, I'm still waiting on my copy of The Elementals! I really enjoyed DoSaB, but found the sequels far too slow going for my liking. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteUnder The Mountain
What?!?!? You need to make sure it comes! And I'm sorry to hear that D: Now that the entire series is out, you should read the series!
DeleteThank you!
The Elementals was a beautiful book. <3 Well. That ending is the devil :( but awesome book, lol. ANYWAY. THE YOUNG ELITES. I hate you a little, lol. <3 SO pretty. Ack. You must read it. And love it. And share all about it. And YAY for the other three ARCs as well :D I want them all, hih. So gorgeous. Happy reading sweetie :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! So glad to hear that! Except... the ending? o.O LOL I'm sorry? And thank you so much!
DeleteAHH! You got Willowgrove?! Oh the envy! Saw Kathleen tweeting about those not that long ago and was near drooling! I love this trilogy, sad to see it end, but dying to read the final book! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay Opposition! Loved that one! Seeing a lot of Marie Lu's new book and considering giving her first series a try! At least the first book!
Happy Reading!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!

Old Follower :)

DeleteI absolutely loved Opposition, which really isn't a surprise since I love anything Daemon-related, but it was really awesome and a great conclusion to the Lux series.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! I hope you enjoy all your books!
My STS: http://inmysecretbookworld.blogspot.se/2014/08/stacking-shelves-2.html
That's awesome! It gives me hope, because I am struggling. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI hope you do too! Good luck!
DeleteSo many excellent books. I'm happy that you got The Young Elites. I hope you enjoy it. It's always sad when a series ends. I understand your pain.

DeleteOmigoshh The Young Elites! SO so excited to read that one. I adore Marie Lu <3 And yay for Polaris, I admit I didn't really like the first book but I hope the second will be better.
ReplyDeleteAnd Opposition! Totally forgot to add that to my haul :/ Oh well. It was awesome (Y)
I hope you love The Young Elites, when you read it! And sorry to hear about Avalon, but eh!
DeleteAHHHHHHH THE YOUNG ELITES! So psyched for it! I really enjoyed Hemlock, though I haven't read Thornhill yet, so can't wait until it's out so I can read the 3 together. :) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine
Kirsty @ StudioReads
YOU MUST READ THORNHILL! It was even better than Hemlock :D
DeleteOh I got Polaris too, last week I think. I can't wait to finish off the duology. I can't believe you got Young Elites! I wanted that one so bad!
ReplyDeleteErin @ The Book Nut
Awesome! I hope you love it! And thanks!
DeleteWhat a fantastic haul girl!! I'm particularly envious of your Polaris ARC!! I'm dying to read that one! Yay for duologies!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm super happy for you getting the ARC of Willowgrove!
Happy reading, Alyssa!
I wish I could send it to you without breaking the bank! I feel like I say that a lot O_O Thank you, Pili!
DeleteTHE YOUNG ELITES!!! I'm desperate for it! I hope you love it! :) Cut Me Free sounds intriguing. I've never heard of it before, but I'll be looking into it. Thanks for sharing your awesome haul with us! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteMarlene @ The Flyleaf Review
I HOPE YOU GET THE YOUNG ELITES!! If not, I bet it's totally worth the wait until release date. You're very welcome! Thank YOU ^_^
DeleteWOW so many amazing books! I am dying to read Polaris! I loved Avalon and I can't wait to see what happens! I grabbed a copy of The Young Elites at ALA and I can't wait to start it! Great book haul!
ReplyDeleteI so hope you get a copy of Polaris soon! And OMG lucky ALA goers :D I have to rely on "luck" with the pubs. Thank you so much!
DeleteEpic haul!!! I can't wait to read Opposition, Polaris, and The Young Elites!! Happy reading this week :)
ReplyDeleteMy StS & Review .
Zareena @ Books and Books
I hope you get all of them sometime soon! Thank you so much, Zareena!

ReplyDeleteI hope you also get a copy! And OMG historical romances are the besttttttt. You're very welcome, girl!!
DeleteGreat haul! The Young Elites sounds amazing! And I love the cover of Polaris, that series has such beautiful covers (: Yay romance novels! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my SP & STS (:
I hope it's as good as it is popular! And OMG Harper covers are the best ;D Thank you so much, Cyn!
DeleteWillowgrove? I didn't know there was a third Hemlock book out (I still have to read book two, though...)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them all :)
Jen @ YA Romantics
Yes! Book three! I hope you read book two (and three) and love it (them)!! Thank you, Jen!!
DeleteI might be drooling over The Young Elites. Maybe. Also A Cold Legacy, as you'd expect. I don't know why I love those covers so much, either, but dangit I do. She's always just...gazing.
ReplyDeleteIt took B&N that long to get your book to you??? That's pretty messed up.
Shuffles feet. I never got around to reading Avalon. Oops?
Anywaysss, HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALYSSA! (Do I almost always do these in caps? It feels like I do.)
You should just come over here and we should have a reading spree in which we read as much as possible in a short amount of time. Like cramming for final exams, but more fun ;D
DeleteREAD AVALON!! And omg B&N didn't even get the order correct. JERKS.
Thank you, Rachel!! Haha I love the caps ;)
Ooooo! Alyssa!! So many good books including Opposition and The Young Elites. They are high on my TBR list. I hope you love all your books.
ReplyDeleteALSO, get your butt over to the TV and go watch some Teen Wolf and catch up now!!! If you love Styles then you need to finish the other half of Season 3 (which I think is the bit where you were telling me you got up to) it's sososo good. And Dylan O'Brien won an award for his performance in it and he's just incredible and I'm so excited he's going to be in The Maze Runner :O:O:O:O:O:O He's just perfect. Have you read that series?
ANYWAYS, speak to you soon!
Sam @ Falling Books
I hope you enjoy them too, Sam!!
DeleteAnd HA! I like Styles! It was weird though, the bug/fly thingy that was infecting him, making him that mummy thing... I like the history behind it all though. The cast is really awesome!
And I read The Maze Runner, but never finished the series. I will definitely watch though, just for Dylan ;D
Thank you, Sam!!
