Stacking the Shelves (#135)


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, July 19th to Saturday, July 25th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of The Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow

I actually got this the week before, and forgot to include it in last week's haul! Unsolicited - thank you, Simon and Schuster!


 An ARC of Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin

I LOVE this package! The mailer is great! Unsolicited - thank you SO MUCH, Little, Brown! I love Graudin's previous three novels, and cannot wait to read this one!


A hardcover copy of The Glass Gauntlet by Carter Roy

Unsolicited - thank you, Amazon!


An ARC of Jubilee Manor by Bethany Hagen

Thank you so so so much, Penguin! I can't wait to read this :)


A hardcover copy of Show and Prove by Sofia Quintero
A hardcover copy of No Such Person by Caroline B. Cooney

Both unsolicited - thank you, Random House! 


The Vampire Combat Field Guide by Roger Ma 

COLORING BOOK! I haven't ever had an adult coloring book. I am so excited! Plus, crayons!


A hardcover copy of The Seven Lady Godivas by Dr. Seuss

One of his few adult books! This is for the blog tour for Dr. Seuss's newest book (publishing July 28 2015) - What Pet Should I Get? :)


From NetGalley:


Playing for Her Heart by Megan Erickson

It's Brazen! MEGAN ERICKSON! Double win!


Fated by Sarah Fine

YAAASS. Moros and Aislin's book!


Phew. I think that's it. About half of these were unsolicited, so I probably won't be reviewing them. But quite the diverse haul, don't you think? I'm excited!

    Awesome haul! Adult coloring books are so fun! I love mine! And I didn't know dr. Seuss wrote anything for adults!! Definitely must check that out. Love dr. Seuss. Used to get picked on for carrying his books around at recess in school. ;)

      They are though! And he wrote a few, I believe. I chose that one for the blog tour specifically because it is so ridiculously lewd, especially for DR. SEUSS :D

    I'm so so excited for Fated! I think this last book is going to be my favorite in the series.
    I'm looking forward to reading The Scorpion Rules. I've heard nothing but good things so far. Oh and I'm curious about the Bethany Hagen book. Do you know if that series is a duology or trilogy?
    And I loved Playing for Her Heart! VERY SEXY! Hope you enjoy all your books, Alyssa!
    Have a great weekend!

      I CAN'T WAIT! I'm waiting another two weeks to read it (stupid discipline/self-control) but I think it will be the best of the series, like you said!

      I believe Hagen's books are a duology! So this is the final novel. EXCITED!

      Great to hear about Playing for Her Heart! I had no doubt :D

      Thank you so much, Nick!

    Goodness! You were pelted with unsolicited books. I love/don't love getting them b/c I can't always get to them. Hope you get to read a few at least.

    It seems like everyone got The Scorpion Rules this week! Oh, and the must have coloring book you have to have, is The Secret Garden or Enchanted Forest. They are gorgeous!!!!

    Great haul! I can't wait for the Scorpion Rules to come out. It sounds incredible! I read No Such Person a few weeks ago and I thought it was pretty good. Have an awesome week and enjoy your books!

      I'm now hearing of The Scorpion Rules! But I may give it a shot. No Such Person was pretty good? I'm not sure I'll have time to read it, but I may! Thank you, Krystianna!

    I think you're going to like The Scorpion Rules. It's not exaclty what it seems, but the author makes it REALLY compelling.

    Great haul! Wolf by Wolf sounds fantastic, but I think I'm gonna wait so I can read it with the sequel back to back. Playing for Her Heart is SUPER sexy, and I can't wait for Fated!
