Stacking the Shelves (#221)


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, March 12th to Saturday, March 18th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


A ton of Harper SU '17 ARCs: The Sandcastle Empire, Wicked Like a Wildfire, Crystal Blade, Thief's Cunning, The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, House of Furies, The Broken World, The Black Witch, Dividing Eden, Thick as Thieves

Wow! Thank you, Harper! I'll be busy for weeks! There are quite a few of these that I'm excited to read. =)


An ARC of Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
Various Rebel of the Sands swag

Thank you, Melissa! We worked out a nice trade, and now my Rebel/Traitor collection is almost complete! I'm waiting for one more USA ARC of Traitor, which is coming... stay tuned!


An ARC of Here Lies Daniel Tate by Cristin Terrill

Thank you, Cristin! I won this from her in a recent giveaway. I loved her debut and cannot wait to read this new standalone!


An ARC of Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh

My most anticipated 2017 novel is in my hands! I'M SO EXCITED! Thank you, Penguin!


Not too shabby, right? Who am I kidding, I'm swimming in books. It's nice, but I'm also moving soon, so I'll need to unload some. If anyone wants to pay shipping for some (possibly random) post-pub YA ARCs (I have some adult romance novels too), let me know. I'm on Spring Break for a week, so I can sort books while I'm home!

Also, I did a thing! I posted my recap of the NoVa Teen Book Festival (which I went to, one week ago). It was so much fun! For those interested, check it out below. =)

    Indeed! Definitely not too shabby. I just shuddered at the idea of having to pack up all my books and sort them for a move. Wishing you well with all that.

    Happy belated St. Paddy's Day, Alyssa!

      Dude! I'm scared! I don't know what to do with the ARCs. The finished copies are fine, because I can donate them. But the ARCs!

      Same to you, Sophia!

    Wow, what an amazing Harper haul! I'm very curious about The Sandcastle Empire and House of Furies. I'm going to have to look up the rest in that picture because I'm unfamiliar with the titles, but a couple sound like they can be good, like Crystal Blade and The Black Witch!

      The Sandcastle Empire is one of the ones at the top of my list! It sounds perfect for me. Crystal Blade is the sequel to Burning Glass, which I didn't love but I'll still read this sequel, because I'm curious. ^_^

      I probably won't read The Black Witch because of all of the controversy surrounding it - and I'm not all that interested. *hides* I definitely am going to read Flame in the Mist!

      I hope you read/love Rebel of the Sands!
