Stacking the Shelves (#230)


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, May 14th to Saturday, May 20th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:

Errrr, as per my usual for the last four years, I will update this when I go home on Saturday evening! :D

 Updated!

An ARC of Midnight Jewel by Richelle Mead

Thank you, Penguin! I enjoyed The Glittering Court and I'm looking forward to read this companion novel. 


A hardcover copy of Dragon's Green by Scarlett Thomas

Unsolicited - but thank you, Simon & Schuster!


Flame in the Mist, The Valiant, Rebel of the Sands samplers

Thank you for the trade, Rachel! More for my collections. :D


Passenger/Wayfarer notebook, Traitor to the Throne tattoo, The Diabolic buttons

YAY! Thank you, Ari! This was a great trade. =)


From NetGalley:



YAY! Thank you, Sweve/SMP! I loved Ex-Con and Outlaw, and I can't wait to start this novel. 


Blood Guard by Megan Erickson

I am thrilled to have this book! It sounds great and I adore this author's other books. =)

    Midnight Jewel! I haven't even read the first one yet and I am still envious of you. I hope it's excellent.

    Loove the cover for Flame in the Mist! That's a book I just got this week, too. I am tempted by Valiant but I've heard mixed reviews -- I hope it works out good for you!

    I looove that Passenger/Wayfarer notebook. That is gorgeous!

    Happy reading and writing ;)

    Our bureau is the only area known to provide friendly and esthetical girlfriend (escort service in jaipur) and companion which you can't deny in dreamy state. It is because of the services of the sexy babes are extremely warmth, esthetical and perfect in each and every sense. The instant can always be memorable and lingering. It may be so good a grin will flash on mind memory the experience. They are largely of college going pupils of hi society WHO enjoys to serve them beforehand of fellows.
