Stacking the Shelves (#213)


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, January 15th to Saturday, January 21st?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


A whole bunch of 2016 ARCs

I won this from a giveaway from the ladies at YA Wednesdays! Thank you!


A hardcover copy of Wires and Nerve, Vol. 1 by Marissa Meyer

Wow! Thank you so much, Macmillan! The poster is so glossy.


An ARC of Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis

Thank you, Penguin! 


A paperback copy of Dare To Lie by Jen McLaughlin

Thank you, Berkley! I'm reading this one soon and I can't wait. :D


A paperback copy of A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet
Bookplate

Thank you, Sourcebooks! These were the preorder incentive, for preordering Breath of Fire. I loved both books! =)


What a week, right? I don't know what to say, honestly. A big part of me naively still can't believe this country is going in the direction that it is. I hope everyone has a good week.

    I spy one of my favorite 2016 books (It's Not Me, It's You - so hilarious) and one of my most anticipated reads (Given to the Sea). Enjoy your awesome haul.

    Oh, there are some great books in there! I liked The Glittering Court and It's Not Me, It's You a lot. And the Marissa Meyer graphic novel looks awesome! It's definitely been a tough week politically, but I'm happy to see all the women's marches today.
