Stacking the Shelves (#98)


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 2nd to Saturday, November 8th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:



Well, I've enjoyed her White Rabbit Chronicles, and I've always wanted to read one of her adult books... starting at book eleven of the series, no big deal :D
An ARC of Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton
A hardcover copy of In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken

Thank you, Little, Brown UK, Disney Hyperion, St. Martin's Press, and Random House!


From NetGalley:


The sequel. FINALLY. I really enjoyed Pawn!


From Edelweiss:



I'm really excited about this one!


I'm hanging in there! How are you all? :)

  1. Your second book is new to me. I hadn't heard of it before, but it does sound really good and excellent.

  2. I haven't read any of Gena's books yet even though she has been on my TBR pile for a while. Pawn is also on my list. I really need more hours in the day.

    Happy reading and hope you're having a fab weekend.

    1. It's a companion series, hopefully that makes it okay to start so late in the series O_O Thank you, Pili! And good luck!

  8. I am SO excited to read Captive! I almost requested it, but I had already preordered it, and knew I would need the hardcover to match Pawn anyway. And I am hoping I get approved for Magonia too, it sounds so good (and the cover is so pretty!) Hope you enjoy them all :)

  11. Nice haul! Seeing a lot of Captive around and it makes me really want to read Pawn since I enjoyed her other books :) As for Gena Showalter, I've only read her White Rabbit Chronicles which I can't think about without some major fangirling but her other books sound good too. Have a nice week and happy reading!

    1. Heh! Thank you so much! And OMG I cannot wait to read Magonia... it won't be for a while, but I'm excited! Thank you - and you too!

  15. I was excited for Seeker, but apparently there's a love triangle, so that sucks. :/ I'll be curious to see what you think.
    Also, Magonia sounds really good - hope to see your review for that soon. :)
    Happy reading, lady!
