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!
First, can we take a moment to marvel at the fact that this is my ONE HUNDREDTH Stacking the Shelves post?! And it's a pretty good one, I'll say! Check out all of my past STS posts HERE.
So, what did I get in the week of Sunday, November 16th to Saturday, November 22nd?

I actually got both of these last week, but was unable to physically open the packages until Sunday (the 16th). So, here they are!

Never heard of this one. Surprise from Perseus books - thank you!

Thank you SO MUCH, Martina!!
From NetGalley:
I loved Enchanted! I admit, I have not read Hero. Hopefully I won't need to do so...
From Edelweiss:
This series is so great! I really enjoyed I Married A Duke and I Adored A Lord.
IT HAS BEEN 2+ YEARS SINCE I'D FIRST HEARD OF THIS ONE. 2+ years since I read Entwined. I NEED THIS!!
This isn't a sequel novel, but I loved Hodge's debut, Cruel Beauty!
I was literally JUST re-reading Through To You on Friday... loved that book so much. I'll give this book a shot!
One hundred STS posts later... wow. Well, I'm home! I left the university on Friday evening and I'll return on Sunday the 30th in the evening. A much-needed break, if I may say so myself! Though I'll be working like a crazy person for most of it... that's okay though. I think I need the break especially from certain people... my gilipollas boy, for one.
*squishes everyone*
ooh nice haul!! I wasn't a fan of Defy, but maybe Ignite is good. I can't wait to see what you think of it! Illusionarium looks really good. Enjoy your books :D
ReplyDeleteI hope it is! There were some things in Defy that I didn't love. And OMG cannot wait to start reading Illusionarium!!
DeleteThank you!
Great haul, Alyssa. Crimson Bound seems quite popular.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading and I hope you have a nice break.
My StS @ Marilyn's Mystery Blog
I hope it lives up to the high expectations!
DeleteThank you, Marilyn!
wow you have some great books up there, hope you enjoy it :D
ReplyDeleteIgnite and Rogue! I hope you enjoy those. And Crimson Bound. I am SOOOO excited for that since I loved Cruel Beauty. Enjoy your haul, Alyssa! My STS
ReplyDeleteI hope you love Crimson Bound!
DeleteOOOOh very nice! I got Dearest myself this week too! Was out yesterday so didn't seen Crimson Bound go up! Might request it despite the likelihood that I will be rejected. I seriously do not get EW! The pubs reject me all the time, but then the same pubs approve me on NG. So very frustrating! lol!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all you lovely new reads!
My STS will be up tomorrow so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Best of luck with the requests!
Delete100 StS posts! That's impressive! I haven't DL Crimson Bound yet but I'm sure I will. I was a bit iffy on Cruel Beauty (loved the writing though) so I'm not sure yet. I downloaded Illusionarium too! I started it last night and so far so good. I loved Entwined too. Yay! I hope you get some rest and enjoy the books.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty excited! And I hope you end up loving Illusionarium :)
Delete*big squishy hugs* I do hope the break will be good for your mental health and your poor heart!
ReplyDeleteI requested both Illusionarium and Crimson Bound, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed to be approved!!
Happy reading and happy Thanksgiving Break!!
Thank you so much! And I'm doing the pretzel for ya :)
DeleteI wasn't a fan of Defy. Great haul of books. Illusionarium and Crimson Bound are really popular this week. Great stack of books.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
That's too bad! Thank you ^_^
DeleteI got Ignite too but I haven't read Defy! I guess I should get on that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
Nicole @ The Quiet Concert
You should!!
DeleteI liked Defy enough to be curious about Ignite. :) I wasn't a huge fan of Cruel Beauty but I am a little curious of Crimson Bound. I hope you enjoy all your new reads.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100 STS's!

Week In Review
Good! And I hope you end up reading Crimson Bound! Thank you.
DeleteThat's definitely a great 100th StS haul! Lovely stack of books! I've never heard of TheHaunting of Sunshine Girl, but it sounds great and I think I need it! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMichelle @ Michelle's Minions
My StS
Right?! I was so hoping for a good one, for the 100th post. I hadn't heard of that one either, honestly! Thank you :D
DeleteYAY :D Congrats on 100 posts. <3 That is all kinds of awesome :) And YAY for so so many amazing books :D Dearest looks so cute. I also got those two from Edelweiss. <3 Not sure how I feel about Crimson Bound, when I peeked at it :p I hope you will love everything you got this week sweetie. <3 the swag is gorgeous too :) Happy reading :D
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'm curious, now that you said that you've peeked at Crimson Bound. However, I'm excited!
DeleteThank you so much!
Congrats on 100! Well done! This is an amazzzing haul! I'm still behind on catching up on reads, so I so need to get my hands on Defy!
ReplyDeleteENjoy all of your books!

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful reading week.
Elizabeth
Wow, this IS a great haul! And 100th StS!? That is impressive for sure. Hope you enjoy your break, and of course, all the lovely books too!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
Thank you so much, Shannon!
DeleteEeek! COngrats on the 100th StS, whoooo! :D And Rogue Wave does have the cover, yes, jealous since mine doesn't and it's freaking gorgeous. Hope you have a fun break, even if you're going to be working. :( :D
ReplyDeleteAww, why can't book covers be universal over all countries?! Bummer. Thank you so much!! I will definitely try :D
DeleteHappy 100! So many good looking books here! Illusionarium, The Haunting of Sunshine Girl, and Crimson Bound all sound great. Enjoy them all! My STS
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I agree, pretty covers!
DeleteWhoo! Congrats on your 100th Stacking the Shelves, that's amazing! The Rouge Wave has such a beautiful cover, I love it so much! And you've got some pretty great books this week! I've downloaded some of the Harper books too. Enjoy reading your books!
ReplyDeleteAnatea @ Anatea's Bookshelf
It's definitely one of my favorite covers, honestly! Even prettier than book one's cover. I hope you enjoy the EW haul as well!
DeleteAwesome haul! I requested quite a few of those on EW too, so fingers crossed. Illusionarium sounds AMAZING. I can't wait to see what you think! Happy reading, girl!
ReplyDeleteCROSSING MY FINGERS FOR YOU!! Thank you!
DeleteYay for Ignite! I'm looking forward to your review on that one. I recently finished it and was really happy with it. It seemed better than Defy, especially in the plot. Those Harper e-arcs look really good. I'm hoping Heat of the Moment turns out to be really good.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books and your break!
I'll be posting that bad boy next week! And hmmm, that's good to hear. I hope the same, honestly.
DeleteThank you!
The covers of Illusionarium and Crimson Bound are so gorgeous! I hope the insides match the covers. Happy reading Alyssa and thanks for stopping by The Readers Den! :)
ReplyDeleteME TOO!! Thank you so much, Rachel!
DeleteThere were so many great books up on Edelweiss the other day, I didn't have time to have a proper look, but I'm glad that you were able to grab some great books! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should, Jasprit! Thank you so much :D
DeleteAn awesome haul this week! I have a few of these... I haven't read Compulsion and I plan to ask hubby for the book as a Christmas gift :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation Alyssa!
Hmmm, Christmas gift, eh? Good idea!
DeleteEveryone is getting Ignite and its killing me. NEED! http://booklovingnut.blogspot.com/2014/11/stacking-shelves-20.html
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it when you read it!
DeleteHappy 100th STS! :D Hehe, I'll be there in about 10 more. Ignite has such a pretty cover! I never did read Defy, but I would like to give it a shot sometime despite the negative reviews. I'm REALLY excited for Illusionarium! I loved Entwined! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy reading Alyssa!
Happy almost 100 then, Jess! I hope you love Illusionarium - and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed Entwined!
