Stacking the Shelves (#118)


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, March 22nd to Saturday, March 28th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

Thank you, Penguin! I already have this one (see Monday's upcoming review), so I'll be giving this one away!


An ARC of Silver in the Blood by Jessica Day George

Thank you, Bloomsbury!


A hardcover copy of The Door in the Moon by Catherine Fisher

*cries* This is the third book in a series I've not read! But it's so pretty! I love random surprises (thank you, Penguin!) but I wish I'd read the others :(


 An ARC of Vengeance Road by Erin Bowman

Thank you so much, HMH! I liked Bowman's debut trilogy, so yay for new book :)


A hardcover copy of The Wondrous and the Wicked by Page Morgan

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU, PENGUIN RANDOM!! I'm still in shock O_O


An ARC of Heat of the Moment by Lauren Barnholdt
An ARC of The Cage by Megan Shepherd
An ARC of Crash by Eve Silver

Thank you so much, Heather! Fabulous (and super nice) lady!


An ARC of The Undercover Scoundrel by Jessica Peterson

Thank you, Jessica! I completely forgot to post this one Twitter, because when I was doing this mass opening, this package got buried and I never actually opened it until I was cleaning up and realized there was one more O_O Anyway. I can't wait to read it!


From NetGalley:


The Beautiful One by Emily Greenwood

New series by this author! I really liked Gentlemen Prefer Mischief, so I'm excited for more by this author! :D


From Amazon:


How to Catch a Wild Viscount by Tessa Dare

Free! I love Tessa Dare's books.


Baiting the Maid of Honor by Tessa Bailey

This one was $0.99! I love Tessa Bailey's Brazen books.


Tempting Acquisitions by Addison Fox

This one was also free! I enjoy office romances, for some reason hehe.


LOL. Lots of romance novels. I'm totally okay with that, as long as I stop buying so many ;) 

In other news... on Friday, after two weeks of near-starvation and malnutrition (you may have seen me say this on Twitter) - I had my first solid-food meal! And it was lovely! My jaw hurt a bit after that, because chewing still isn't back to normal, but I am soooooo happy to be back to eating. Swallowing everything (or just not eating) was not fun.

Anyway! How was your week? :)

    Nice new reads! Those are new to me as well! Glad to hear you're feeling better! Sucks when your mouth is sore and you can't eat anything! You never realize how much crunchy food is until you're banned from it!

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

    Have a GREAT day!

      Thanks so much, Jessica! And less crunchy, more CHEWY... I never really realized how much chewy food I ate. Like bread. How is bread chewy?! It just is.

      I'll be sure to do so, Jessica!

    Your books are new to me. I hate not being able to eat solid food. Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Hopefully your new books will help you feel better.

      Actually, no, I didn't get that spiffy box with the finished hardcover and the dagger. I WISH. This is an ARC, but it is from the publisher. Those bloggers are amazing and much more popular than I am, which is totally fine and I am very happy for them :) Thank you - and you too, Carina!

    Yay! Congrats on eating solid food again! It's been a family-filled week here what with the funeral/burial coming up. Take that how you will. ;) But otherwise, pretty quiet, though not horribly productive. I'm interested to see how that new Jessica Day George book is. Happy reading!

      Dang! You are always welcome to borrow mine - I'm hoping to read it in May, but it might not happen... so when you think you're ready, let me know.

      And YES! You should definitely binge-read the Game series - Eve Silver is amaaaazing!

      Happy reading to you too, Danielle!
