Stacking the Shelves (#132)


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, June 28th to Saturday, July 4th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of Six Impossible Things by Fiona Wood

Thank you, Little, Brown!


A sampler of The Rose Society by Marie Lu

This is the SAMPLER - thank you so much, Nicole!


A hardcover copy of The Blood Guard by Carter
An ARC of The Glass Gauntlet by Carter Roy

Unsolicited - thank you, MB! I don't read Middle Grade, so these will probably be donated or given away. Unless any reviewers/bloggers want them?


An ARC of Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios
Swoony Boys chocolate, buttons, lip balm

Thank you, Swoon Boys Podcast! I won this from Whadda Ya Know Wednesday, a surprise prize :D Such an amazing prize - they went through my wishlist and Twitter stream and picked something specifically that I wanted! AHHH!


 And that's my week! Happy Independence Day, fellow Americans! And happy birthday to me, as of Sunday, July 5th... I will no longer be a teenager, and thus, officially older than 99.99% of the YA heroines in novels O_O

    Lucky you! The Rose Society is an ARC I'd love to get and that Blood Passage package is awesome. My StS actually has some overlap with yours. :)

      Yes! I knew we were fairly close in age! We are two kickbutt young ladies, taking over the book world >:D Thank you so much! And I got lucky with the sampler - someone on Twitter was pretty much offering it up! I doubt the pub would send me that, I haven't seen this floating around O_O

      Thank you!
