Stacking the Shelves (#143)


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, September 13th to Saturday, September 19th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


A notebook from the promotion for Legacy of Kings by Eleanor Herman

Thank you so much, Paper Lantern Lit!


A paperback copy of You're A Vampire - That Sucks!: A Survival Guide by Domenick Dicce

Thank you, Penguin Random!


A signed paperback copy of The Winter King by C.L. Wilson

THANK YOU, RACQUEL!!!!! She is basically the nicest and got me my favorite adult romance novel EVER, signed/personalized by the author! AHHH!


A signed paperback copy of Brazen by Christina Farley
Brazen swag (poster, bookmarks, sticker)

Thank you, Christina! I'm loving Brazen so far. Check out my blog tour post on Tuesday!


A paperback copy of Madame X by Jasinda Wilder

Thank you, Berkley! I love Jasinda and cannot wait to read this book.


An ARC of Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore

An ARC! Of Bitterblue! Thank you so much, Kelli! If anyone ever sees any Fire or Graceling ARCs...


An ARC of The Killing Jar by Jennifer Bosworth
An ARC of These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas
An ARC of Love, Lies and Spies by Cindy Anstey

Thank you, Macmillan! These are the three I chose from their catalog. Trying to restrain myself!


A First in Line tote bag
An ARC of Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I won the tote bag from Vivian's giveaway! Thank you, Cassie and Vivian! The ARC was a surprise - believe it or not, this is my THIRD Illuminae ARC (all paperback ARCs, sadly). I loved the book though! :D


From Edelweiss:


The Mirror King by Jodi Meadows

So excited to have this! This was literally the ONLY Harper galley I downloaded, of the two uploads they made this week. 


The Impostor Queen by Sarah Fine

Basically, I will read anything by Sarah Fine. I've read all of her published books (with the exception of Burn, which I do have now!)


I am exhausted! But doing okay. Busy week, but I can't complain too much. How are you all? :)

      RIGHT?! The first thing I thought of.

      When you're awake until 2-3 am and have to be up by 7:30-8:00 am... trust me, NO ONE is a morning person at that point.

    I bought Orphan Queen a while back but didn't get a change to read it yet :( I hope to get to it before the release of The Mirror King.

    Enjoy all your new books!

    I hadn't heard of The Mirror Queen, but I can see why it grabbed your attention.

    Glad it was a good week! Mine was steady busy.

    Ooh! Great haul :) It's awesome you got an ARC of Bitterblue. Admittedly, I've only read Graceling but the rest of Cashore's books are high on my TBR! Also, I'm so very excited to read Illuminae when it releases :) Enjoy your books (P.S. it's so cool you have all of Sarah Fine's books! I love, love, love her writing. Of Metal and Wishes was AMAZING)

      Fire! You MUST read Fire! It is my favorite. Also you should totally binge on Sarah's books - Of Dreams and Rust was probably just as great as Of Metal and Wishes, if not better. Her Guards of the Shadowlands series was superb, and her adult romance books! Gah! Basically Sarah Fine is TALENTED. :D

    2. Emily AnneSeptember 20, 2015 at 12:44 AM

      Eek, now I NEED to read Fire and the rest of Sarah Fine's books immediately!!! So excited to hear you loved Of Dreams and Rust so much...

    3. AlyssaSeptember 21, 2015 at 1:57 AM

      I hope you do, Emily! Of Dreams and Rust is probably in my top books of 2015 at the moment! ^_^

    Wow! Great haul! Can't wait to see what you think of The Impostor Queen, and I hope you love The Mirror King. Love, Lies, and Spies looks adorable. :)
    Happy reading!

    I can't wait to get started on Mirror King (I'm started Flamecaster today though)! I have a few of these from Macmillan this week too. Let me know how the book from Sarah Fine turns out. I did read Marked (since you raved about the series) and I liked it a lot. I hope you love them all :)

    You had a pretty sweet week! I just finished The Orphan Queen and I am SO excited for The Mirror King now! I think The Killing Jar sounds really neat, I requested it on Netgalley so we'll see how that goes! I'm excited for Illuminae, I finally just read a summary of it. Everyone seems to love it so that's basically why I wanted to read it before! But great haul you got here! I didn't get ANYTHING last week! Haha!

      I'm saying! I hope you get access to The Killing Jar! I'll be giving away one of my ARCs of Illuminae next month, fyi. It's too bad that you didn't get anything last week, Cyra! Maybe everything is coming this week. ;)

    I also got The Mirror King eARC (thanks to Jodi, otherwise Harper would have never approved me...) and you know how bad my restrain is, so already read (and loved!) it!
    I requested Impostor Queen, so I'm doing the pretzel to get approved!
    So many awesome books in the mail! If I ever see someone with a Fire or Graceling ARC I'll let you know for sure!
