Stacking the Shelves (#109)


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, January 18th to Saturday, January 24th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of The Memory Key by Liana Liu
An ARC of Solitaire by Alice Oseman
An ARC of Pretty Wanted by Alice Oseman
An ARC of Death Marked by Leah Cypess
An ARC of Everything That Makes You by Moriah McStay
An ARC of Sorceress by Claudia Gray
An ARC of How To Win At High School by Owen Matthews
An ARC of Etherworld by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam
An ARC of The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows

I've never seen so many Harper ARCs O_O It was TWO giant packages! Like woah! I think I asked for one of these - Death Marked - and I got nine others! Thank you, Harper :)


A hardcover copy of Ensnared by A.G. Howard

I have a bad feeling about this one, but I must read it anyway. Thank you, Kelly!


An ARC of Joyride by Anna Banks

Thank you, Macmillan!


An ARC of Hold Me Like A Breath by Tiffany Schmidt

Thank you sooo much, Bloomsbury!


A hardcover copy of The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons

TOR SENT ME A HARDCOVER COPY! You remember when they sent me an ARC? Gosh, I feel spoiled. I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH :D


A paperback copy of Landry Park by Bethany Hagen

Thank you, Penguin! I liked this one a lot :)


From NetGalley:


Once and Always by Elizabeth Hoyt

I LOVE ELIZABETH HOYT! This time, it's contemporary, not historical romance :D


From Edelweiss:


The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler

I love Sarah Ockler's books - and I have special connection to this one! My family is from Trinidad & Tobago ;)


From Amazon:


Game for Marriage by Karen Erickson

Already read and reviewed this one! LOVED it!


And that's my week! WOAH O_O 

Because of last week's massive haul, I didn't think I'd get anything this week. Good grief. I asked for like, three of these review copies LOL. I'll take them for sure! And probably give away most of them. Look out for multiple giveaways!

Last day of winter classes was Friday, first day of spring semester classes on Monday! Holy guacamole, yo! I'm excited and optimistic :D

    WHOA! Feeling a little bit of the envy here with all the Harper love! Though a lot of those titles are new to me! I still need to start Claudia Gray's series there!

    Looks like you did rather well this week! Hope you enjoy each and every one of these reads!

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

    Have a GREAT day!

      I hope so too! I won't be reading most of the Harper ones, since they were unsolicited and there are just too many.

    That is quite a haul girly! I am beyond excited for The Orphan Queen- I love Meadows SO SO much! I thought The Summer of Chasing Mermaids looked cute too, but I held off on that one since I'd never read anything by Ockler before.

    Yay Game for Marriage! I must go read your review. I thought it was cute and definitely want to read the others in the series.

    Happy reading Alyssa!

    Awesome haul! We got a lot of the same books this week. I read THE GLASS ARROW and really enjoyed it. And I'm looking forward to THE ORPHAN QUEEN & HOLD ME LIKE A BREATH. I read the first chapters of both of them and really enjoyed them!

    Great stack this week Alyssa! I hope you enjoyed them all and thanks for stopping by my STS @ Addicted Readers! :)

    You got the highly coveted Orphan Queen! And Ensnared is soooooooo wonderful! It is my favorite of the series. The HC Glass Arrow is spectacularly stunning. I would want it on my shelves even if I never got to reading it. :)

    It's impossible to comment on all of these! I do have some of them and I'm excited about Orphan Queen and The Summer of Chasing Mermaids. I read Death Marked already and it was a bit of a let down (review coming soon), I can't wait to see what you think ;)

    I'm pretty sure I say this every week but you have the best book mail. 9 HarperTeen ARCs? Dang. I wasn't crazy about The Memory Key, I think I ended up giving it three stars. Orphan Queen is a book that I am dying to get my hands on, I need it in my life. I saw Hold Me Like a Breathe on goodreads yesterday and it sounds awesome, I hope you enjoy it. I hope you enjoy everything that you got this week!

    Thanks for stopping by!
