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, July 9th to Saturday, July 15th?

In the mail:
What a neat package! I adored What to Say Next and Tell Me Three Things and I love this swag!
The Unexpected Everything pouch; "Stay Peculiar" button
Thank you, Hannah!
Thank you so much, Ballantine! I am looking forward to reading this novel. The Bourbon Kings and The Angels' Share were great!
From NetGalley:
YAY! This is one of my most anticipated Fall publications and I'm so excited to have it for review!
Reviews from this week:

I think that sums it up! I've had a busy week at work - week four is now in the books. I can't believe I've already been working full-time for four weeks. Time really flies! It is going well so far. I'm trying to find my work/sleep/reading/blogging/social life balance, which hasn't been an easy adjustment, but I'm getting there!
Tell Me Three Things looks fun, and I'm kinda curious about Invictus! Also Because You Love To Hate Me has made its way onto my list too, since an anthology of villain stories just seems too good to pass up! :)
ReplyDeleteTMTT was a great novel, as was What to Say Next! I really like Because You Love to Hate Me as well - usually I'm not one for short stories, but that anthology was excellent. :D
DeleteTotally drooling over The Devil's Cut. That series is delicious. I love it!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though! I can't wait to start the book. Maybe this week!
DeleteLooks like you got some cool swag and books! I want to check out Invictus. I also need to read Midnight Jewel and I'm glad you liked the Wood I have an ARC of it to get to!
ReplyDeleteSwag is awesome! Invictus was available for download on NetGalley for the first 500 members... I was at work and I saw the email and I immediately scrambled to find my NetGalley password so I could log in on my phone (something I'd not done before!)! I hope you love The Wood, Eve!
DeleteOOh nice! Seeing a lot of buzz around Invictus! Will have to keep an eye on that one! Hope you enjoy your new reads!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
It is definitely one to look for in the coming months! Thank you, Jessica. =)
DeleteCongratulations on week 4 of working fulltime! So glad to hear that you are enjoying it. I remember when I was working fulltime and trying to figure out how to get other things done. It was hard finding a good balance. I hope you enjoy your new books/swag, and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie! It's going well so far except for finding that balance. I haven't been able to read during the week which makes me sad. :/
Deleteoh yippee!! Look at some of these treasures especially J.R. Ward's Book. I own the first two but for some reason haven't read them yet. :( Need to get on that and soon.
ReplyDeleteYaaaassss! You should binge-read the series, Renee! I loved the first two books and I'm excited to read this new one. Go go go!
DeleteCan't wait to see your thoughts on Invictus! I'm excited for that one too. And I'm sure you'll find a good balance soon enough. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kel! I hope you enjoy Invictus!
DeleteInvictus! I want to request it but I'm hesitating because, too many books:-) Great haul, have a nice weekend, Alyssa!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I couldn't help myself with this one. ;) Thank you, Tammy!
DeleteInvictus looks so great!! I'm excited to hear your thoughts on it. Congrats on making it to four weeks of full-time. It's always hard to balance work and everything else but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time. Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lauren! You are so sweet! I hope you have a great week as well. ^_^
DeleteI was so tempted to request Invictus but I'm resisting because I'm planning on buying the physical book anyway so can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Thank you, Stephanie. :D
DeleteAwesome haul! Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rachel! <3
DeleteGlad to hear work is going well! It is crazy how fast time goes. I'm curious about Invictus. I haven't read anything by this author yet, but have heard great things about Wolf by Wolf. Hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteTime seriously flies! It's amazing. I've read all of Graudin's books so I'm hoping this one won't disappoint. Thank you, Nat!
DeleteI am glad work is going well. I got an email for Invictus but I have such a love hate relationship with those types so I passed. I hope you enjoy it and can't wait to see what you think. :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! Time-travel novels are hit or miss for me but I trust Graudin. Thank you, Stormi!
DeleteInvictus looks and sounds so good! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Teresa!
DeleteAhh, I'm so excited about Invictus as well! I was very happy I caught the email from NetGalley and snagged the Read Now, I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
YES! I'm glad you got it as well! I hope you get to read it soon. <3
DeleteOoh, I hope you enjoy Invictus. I really hoped to get it at ALA but they were all out when I went by the booth. Ah well.
ReplyDeleteThat's great work is going so well! You'll figure out the balance soon enough, I'm sure.
-Lauren
Oh man! That sucks! I hope you get to read it in the future though.
DeleteThank you, Lauren!
I grabbed Invictus this week as well. It sounds like such a good story. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is! Thank you!
DeleteSo glad the job's going well and that you had a busy but good week :) And that haul is so awesome - I'm dying to read Invictus, and the cover for Tell Me Three Things just makes me drool, lol ;) I luuuuv waffles!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Alyssa!
Amy @ A Magical World Of Words
You should try Tell Me Three Things! It is such a good book. :D
DeleteI'm so happy to hear the job is going well, hopefully you can get your schedule sorted out soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul this week. I'm so glad you got Invictus, can't wait to see your thoughts on it.
Have a lovely week.
Here is my STS
Thank you, Aneta! I'm getting used to things (I think)! I hope you have a great week too. =)
DeleteYay for Invictus! Excited for that one, too. I was glad to see you enjoyed The Wood, I need to read that one soon and I've been looking forward to it. I love the Tell Me Three Things stuff! That books was so, so good. :D
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Alyssa!
I liked The Wood a lot! It had a bittersweet ending but it was a great story. The TMTT/WTSN package was lovely! And a big surprise. I adored both books!
DeleteYes, Invictus looks good. But wait. I still have the first two to catch up on, eek.
ReplyDeleteTime goes too darn fast!

My copy of Because You Love to Hate Me is arriving today - or at least Amazon says it is. I know there's a lot of controversy over the book and the booktubers in it but I've heard some of the stories are pretty good.
ReplyDeleteFinding the balance is always key and takes some time!! The What to Say Next notebook, index cards are super cute!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm so envious, I'm really want to read the Devils Cut, I hope you enjoy it. I really liked Tell Me Three Things, it's one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteWhaat. Full time working for over four weeks now? Gosh, time flies. Feels like it was your first day just a while ago, hih :) Aaanyway. YAY for so much awesome mail sweetie :D Yay for lots of pretty swag. <3 And yess for Invictus. I got it too from Netgalley :D Hope we will both love it. <3
ReplyDeleteJeepers, I'm so far behind on blogging right now I can barely believe you've been working four weeks either! That's craziness... And now it's more like five! 🙈
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been so slack. Catching up here and there when I can!
