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, October 2nd to Saturday, October 8th?
(all links to Goodreads are provided!)
In the mail:
With the exception of the romance novel, all were unsolicited! Thank you, Simon & Schuster, Tor, Random House, and Avon. =)
From the publisher:
I actually got approval for this one from Edelweiss a few weeks ago, but I forgot to download it, and the book published. But the Avon publicist sent me a copy anyway! It was very nice of her. =) Thank you, Avon!
This week flew by! I had a busy time with schoolwork, job work, and blog work. But on the plus side, I spontaneously bought some books from BookOutlet! I've never bought books from them. Rachel was so sweet and sent me a coupon! A heads-up -- next week might kill me (midterms, papers, problem sets). So bear with me, please!
That was nice of them to send along the copy anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the Book Outlet is a dangerous site for me especially when they send out a coupon or sales notice. :)
Wishing you well on your big mid-term push.
The Avon folks are so sweet. Thank you, Sophia!
DeleteThat was real nice of them to send you a copy! :) Some of those publicist are really great! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with mid-term!
Stormi
They really are! I especially love the Avon ladies. Thank you!
DeleteThat is awesome that you got a copy of When a Marquess Loves a Woman! Good luck on midterms! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to read it! Thank you. <3
DeleteOoh nice! That's a new to me read! Book Outlet is pretty cool! Though I find that I don't shop there often enough! I usually buy books as they release which kind of defeats the purpose of Book Outlet! LOL! Can't wait to see your haul once it comes in! Hope the coming week won't be too stressful! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
BookOutlet is a site on which I do a lot of "window shopping"... I've browsed the site many times but never actually bought anything, until now! I'm excited. Thank you, Jessica!
DeleteWhen a Marquess Loves a Woman - I love that title! :D
ReplyDeleteMe too! All of the titles in this series are hilarious and awesome. ^_^
DeleteOhhhh I love the cover of that books! Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMe too! You don't see too much yellow in historical romance covers. So it's especially unique!
Deleteoh that look good, enjoy it :D I've never shopped at Book Outlet, will have to check it out
ReplyDeleteYou should! Their prices are soooo great. ;)
DeleteSchool comes first. Sometimes RL can get busy and interfere with our blogging. That was so nice of the publisher to send you that book. Great haul.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Always! I try. Thank you, Grace!
DeleteHope next week's not too bad! And I've never bought from Book Outlet. I'll have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteThank you! You should! It's a great site. ^_^
DeleteBlogging (or maintaining any time consuming hobby, really) can be really difficult when you're in university. Good luck with everything, you've got this Alyssa!
ReplyDeletePlus it's good motivation to know that you've got a fun romance novel waiting for you when you're done, right? :D
Ha! For sure! And OMG Danya, romance novels are my "guilty" pleasure. I am ALWAYS so excited to sneak time from studying and read them! The swoonier (and less angsty), the better. ;D
DeleteWow! These books sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Stacking the Shelves!
They certainly do!
DeleteThe Guide to the Other Side looks pretty cute! Might be a fun Halloween read! Enjoy all your new goodies, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteIt does look cute! They got the timing right, with the publishing season. :D Thank you!
DeleteI've bought from BookOutlet before, but adding in the shipping prices usually takes it over what I want to pay. I tried ThriftBooks not long ago and was pretty happy with them. Free shipping for orders over $10 (not hard at all) and they have a reading rewards program. I'm technically on a book buying ban, but I'd use them again.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on midterms and everything! I'm sure you'll do great. :)
PS - I can get you a 15% off coupon to ThriftBooks if you're interested in trying it. ;)
DeleteOoo, I see what you're saying. In this case, shipping wasn't bad. I've never heard of ThriftBooks! Let me check it out, and I may ask you for that coupon. ;)
DeleteThank you, Kel! Have a lovely week. <333
Awesome haul this week! I have been DYING to read Stranded so I'm really excited to see what you think! Have a great week :D
ReplyDeleteTracy @ Cornerfolds
Ooooo, interesting! I hope you get a chance to read it. Thank you, Tracy!
DeleteAwesome book haul this week! Some of those covers are goooooorgeous--I hope you enjoy your new book acquisitions! Also, thank you SO MUCH again for stopping by my StS this week--I super appreciate it! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth! And it's no problem, you're very welcome. =)
DeleteI love BookOutlet! Enjoy your new books. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your week goes well!
Lindsey
Thank you, Lindsey!
DeleteAll those books look great - hope you´ll enjoy. Have a great new week. Gotta look into that Book Outlet ...
ReplyDeleteBookOutlet is amazing, Vi!
DeleteTwelve Days of Dash and Lily is one I want to get soon too. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving away the copy! You should check it out. :D
DeleteAhh I'm so excited to read the Jennifer McQuiston book and When a Marquess Loves a Woman! Alyssa, I've fallen too far into the HR hole! :) And yay Book Outlet! It's the best and the worst, because books, but also money. :D
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything at school, though--you're getting close to done, right??
Let me know if you need recommendations - I have soooo many. :D Best and worst indeed!
DeleteI'll be graduating in May! *hides* I don't know if I'm reading for the "real world", but I am ready to stop being so stressed all the time. ;)
Everyone gets busy at times. Have a good week. :-)
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental My Sunday Memes
Yep, this is true. Thank you, Sherry!
DeleteI can't wait to read When A Marquess Loves a Woman! I literally went to Goodreads to check if you or Nick had read the previous books. When I saw you liked them, I accepted the book so I'll be reading it next week! I hope this coming week doesn't drain you with all that you have coming up.
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Latte Nights Reviews
Hopefully you love it! I'm flattered that you looked for mine. =)
DeleteThank you, Genesis!
You've got a few books I haven't heard of, will have to go check out A Guide to the Other Side, it looks good! Enjoy your new books, hope your week is good. Thanks for stopping by my Sunday Post earlier!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU, Lisa!
DeleteI hope you enjoy these books! I'm dying for Twelve Days of Dash and Lily, but that's because I luuurve David Levithan.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Ooo, that's awesome! To be honest, I'd not heard of the book before. ;) Thank you, Lis!
DeleteI also have Dash & Lily. I hope you love the HR books and that you survive the midterms :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I don't think it's for me but that's okay. I will definitely be reading the HR. :D Thank you!
DeleteI have Dash and Lily too, sounds cute, may give it a shot. I've never tired bookoutlet either, I always want to but I already have way too many books...
ReplyDeleteNereyda│ Nick & Nereyda’s Infinite Booklist
I hope you like it, Nereyda! I really shouldn't buy new books but... I cave every now and then. =)
DeleteEnjoy your new reads! I've been super busy as well and haven't felt like blogging or anything. I'm trying to get out if this slump because I keep reading all these amazing books but haven't posted reviews for them. Hopefully, I'll get my groove back soon. Other than two blog tour posts, I've not scheduled anything else.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I feel you. I'm exhausted. I imagine it's because of the semester but I'm just not feeling the same at the moment. I hope you get motivated!!!! *hugs*
DeleteYay for getting some gorgeous looking books :) I hope you will love them all, if you read them. <3 Hope you are having an awesome week sweetest Alyssa :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Carina! <3
