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 16th to Saturday, October 22nd?

In the mail:
FROM LAST WEEK:
My first BookOutlet order! I had an issue with it, and the customer service rep handled it like the pro that she is. A lovely experience overall!
I'll be reading this one next week! Thank you, Roc. =)
Thank you, Berkley! I LOVED this book. :D
Scotland goodies and The Earl swag from Katharine Ashe
Thank you, Katharine! She is so awesome. =)
Thank you soooo much, Alice! This was a wonderful trade. <3
FROM THIS WEEK:
Swag from a trade - thank you, Sondra!
More swag from a trade - thank you, Casey!
Aaaand more swag from a trade - thank you, Tatiana!
From NetGalley:
For the blog tour! Thank you, Harlequin and Inkslingr. =)
That's all from the last two weeks! I know, that's "all". :D But hey, this is my 200th STS post! That, to me, is commitment. I'm proud of how far I've come, with my blog!
Nice haul. I find that Book Outlet, Amazon and Apple have the best service reps out there. Great haul of books this week.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Isn't that great? Customer service is so important, and good customer service is amazing. Thank you, Grace!
DeleteGah, the Flame in the Mist poster is just stunning. That cover is just so amazing and, of course, so is Caraval! I still need to read Uprooted! It's been on my tbr for ages. Great haul, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I was so happy to snag it on #booksfortrade. Uprooted has been on my TBR as well!
DeleteThank you!
Woosh, that is quite the pile of goodies. Neat that you got to trade for things you want, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, way to go for 200 posts for StS.
I love trading! Someone helping me, me helping someone. It is awesome.
DeleteThank you, Sophia!
Caraval looks SO good! Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! Thank you. ^_^
DeleteOOoh nice trades! Love swag! My box of swag is overflowing! Way too many bookmarks and postcards but I can't seem to get rid of them! Just have to buy a bigger box! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNice new reads too! They're new to me ones. Glad customer service helped you out with your Book Outlet order! That's always good when they come to the rescue! Especially when it's a book related order!
Happy Reading!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
DUDE. I know what you mean. I have at least three boxes of swag, and that doesn't include what is in books or on tote bags. I have a swag addition!
DeleteThank you, Jessica!
Glad you had a good experience with BookOutlet. I have not shopped there myself yet but I heard good things.
ReplyDeleteI got The Earl too o.o kind of excited to see how that one goes.
The posters look so nice. I hope you enjoy your weekend.
I highly recommend BookOutlet!
DeleteI'll be reading The Earl next - I'm wary, but excited.
Thank you, Lily!
Great haul!! Hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteStormi
Thank you!
DeleteCongrats on your blogging success and commitment to bringing us book news!
ReplyDeleteThank you and THANK YOU!!! <3333
DeleteThat's an amazing accomplishment! Congrats, Alyssa! And it looks like you got some good book and swag hauls, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm pretty excited! It feels like I've finally become "old", in blogging... but maybe not. :D
DeleteThank you!
I have extra swag to trade if you're interested let me know!! Great week for you!!
ReplyDeletehttp://thebestbasicblogger.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-sunday-post.html
OMG! I may have to take you up on this. I'll contact you! Thank you. ^_^
DeleteI kinda want to read Looking Inside since I hear it was steamy af. I normally don't read too much steaminess but I seriously need to know for this one haha That's great that Book Outlet was able to resolve everything :)
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Latte Nights Reviews
It was sooooo steamy! And quite good, too. :D
DeleteThank you!
Thank you Alyssa for your dedication in keeping us up-to-date on the greatest YA reads! Your recommendations fill my TBR list and it's never short! Much love to you from a devoted follower of your awesome blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!! I try to be as up-to-date as possible - I'm glad you've enjoyed the content! And the recommendations too - that makes me especially happy. <3333 Thank you so so so much! I appreciate you and this wonderful comment! <3
DeleteThat hardcover of Uprooted is so pretty! Book Outlet is my weakness, whenever they have a big sale I just cannot resist. And that cover for The Darkest Torment is so pretty. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?! I nabbed it as soon as I saw it - and it was the only copy available. :D Now I am hooked on BookOutlet.
DeleteThank you, Teresa!
I love how much you love swag. So many people don't care about them so it's cool that you collect them. I hope you enjoy your new books Alyssa, I have heard so many great things about Uprooted.
ReplyDeleteNereyda│ Nick & Nereyda’s Infinite Booklist
Heh. Almost as much as I love books. ;) Thank you, Nereyda!
DeleteI have never ordered from Bookoutlet before, but it's good to know that you had a good customer service experience with them. I still haven't read AGoS, because of that cliffhanger. I think it will be safer for me to wait for the last book to be out before I jump in. And all your swag looks awesome! What do you do with them? Do you have like a display? I'd love to see!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Alyssa!
The cliffhanger in AGOS was heartbreaking! I neeeed A Conjuring of Light.
DeleteAt least half of my swag is in boxes... the other half can be found on my refrigerator (posters and magnets), books (bookmarks), or tote bags (buttons). :D Hmm, showing off the displays, now that is an idea...
Thank you, Nick!
I hear good things about Uprooted. I need to check it out. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Sunday Post
I hope to read it soon! I read a sampler a while back but not the whole thing. I'm sure it'll be awesome!
DeleteI love all your swag! Especially the Scottish ones :) Thanks for stopping!
ReplyDeleteColletta
You're very welcome!
DeleteCongrats on 200!! That is very loyal and determined! Great swag this week and books! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you. <333333 I hope you had a wonderful week!
DeleteEnjoy all your books! They look so good.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yvonne!
DeleteCongrats on your 200th STS post! I think The cover of Den of Wolves looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I love that book's cover! It's amazing. *heart eyes*
DeleteGreat haul, Alyssa! It's great to hear that BookOutlet handled everything well! I love the website. :) I haven't heard of Den of Wolves; I'll be sure to check out your review when it comes! I'm eagerly anticipating A Flame in the Mist! I've met Renee twice and it's been a pleasure both times.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 200th post! That's dedication!
Genni @ Ready, Set, Read!
They were great! Gennifer, Juliet Marillier is such a great writer! I've only read Dreamer's Pool and Tower of Thorns, but both are really wonderful.
DeleteThank you!
Yay for your Book Outlet order! They are so lovely, but sadly don't ship to my country.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all your books and happy 200th post!
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that! :/ Every country needs a BookOutlet!
DeleteThank you, Lis!
So many goodies. Congrats on the 200.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental My Sunday Memes
Thank you, Sherry! ^_^
DeleteWhat a great haul. Love all the goodies!
ReplyDeleteThere's something compelling about that Darkest Torment cover. I'd pick it up based on that alone!
Happy 200th STS post. 🎉
It was a great couple of weeks in mail! And I totally agree - it's like he's concocting some nefarious plan. :D
DeleteThank you!
Den of Wolves looks awesome - guess that will go on my wishlist :-) I am impressed by the great haul you´ve got. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Vi @ Gone With The Books
YES! It deserves a spot on there. Thank you, Vi! ^_^
DeleteGreat haul! I loved A Gathering In Shadows (although the first book is still my favorite) and I have been dying to read Uprooted. I hope you will enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I liked book one better as well. Perhaps book three will be our favorite. :D Thank you!
DeleteOh WOW, you got The Darkest Torment!! I want it too! But I really shouldn't request it right now. *runs to NetGalley to request it anyway*
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a wonderful week, Alyssa Susanna!
Happy reading :)
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
*cries a little* it was too late to request it...
DeleteThank you, Lexxie! I joined the blog tour, and was sent a widget. I'm sorry you missed it! :/
DeleteOooh, good haul! I need to get to Den of Wolves, myself... Hope you enjoy! I loved Uprooted.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading that one now! Uprooted, soon. I'm excited. :D
DeleteOoo Flame in the Mist and Caraval! Enjoy, I'm dying to read those. Also, Uprooted is AMAZING! Enjoy all your goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteJust posters! It would probably cry if I got a FLAME ARC. :D
DeleteI will be reading Uprooted soon, I hope! Thank you, Erin. <3
This is SUCH a great haul! Here's hoping you enjoy all your new bookish acquisitions--those swag hauls are EPIC sauce! And those posters! Oh my penguins, I might have to start picking up book posters because goooooorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by my StS this last week--much appreciated! Happy book-ing to you in the near future!
Bookish posters are the best! They are all over my refrigerator. I love collecting them.
DeleteYou are very welcome, Elizabeth!
AGOS, Uprooted, Flame and the Mist! Eeeeep :D Such awesome books!! Carnival sounds great too! I still NEED to read something (anything) by Marillier personally *hides* but I WILL fix that soon hehe! Enjoy your goodies xx
ReplyDeleteNot a copy of FLAME, unfortunately! Just the poster - though the poster is awesome. I highly recommend this series by Marillier!
DeleteThank you, Micheline. =)
I hope you love Uprooted, it's amazing :)
ReplyDeleteWhoo :D Post 200! That is awesome :) And yay for getting such gorgeous books too. <3 I hope you will love it all sweetie :) And yay for awesome looking swag. So pretty. <3
