Stacking the Shelves (#257)


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, November 19th to Saturday, November 25th?


(all links to Goodreads are provided!)


In the mail:


An ARC of The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
An ARC of Sightwitch by Susan Dennard
An ARC of Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton

Phew, that's an amazing haul! Huge thanks to The Novl/Little, Brown, Lena, and Carolina for these books! I'm excited to read, well, all of them! =)

This week was a short work week, with the Thanksgiving holiday. I also had no new #ManBunGuy stories, though I did see him on Monday (it was rather uneventful). I hope everyone celebrating had a great Thanksgiving (and Black Friday)! I did some online shopping and got an amazing pair of boots, and other things, so on the shopping side of things, I'm happy. :D Thanksgiving itself went well (though I was exhausted afterward). I'm not looking forward to Monday!

    Oh now you did get quite the haul. Those do all look good.

    I didn't really do any purchasing for Black Friday just hung out with friends and went to a movie.

    Have a great weekend, Alyssa!

    Oh my gosh Alyssa I'm super jealous that you received a copy of Hero at the Fall, the ending to the last fall just about killed me, so I can't wait to dive into this one! You'll have to let me know when you start it!

    I'm dying to read The Cruel Prince! I saw your Thanksgiving photo on Instagram and the food looked amazing! But so much work, right? I'm still not finished putting all the dishes away😐 Have a great week!

      Sooooo much work! My mom, sister and I were insanely busy. I kept washing the same dishes over and over because we kept reusing them after they were washed. Of course, the alternative was to have 50 million of each dish. :O I'm still in recovery too, Tammy!

    Can't wait to get my hands on The Cruel Prince! I love Holly Black and have enjoyed every novel I've read from her so, I have high hopes for this one! I haven't heard of Heart of Iron before but, it does look extremely interesting so, I'll definitely look it up! Hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy your new books!

      I think I've only read one book by her (The Darkest Part of the Forest) - which I liked. I'm hoping this one is good. Heart of Iron was okay! Not amazing for me though. :/ Thank you, Elena!

    Oh that's a nice haul! Can you believe I've never read anything by Holly Black? I've heard so many great things about her though, and The Cruel Prince sounds like it might be a good place to jump on board!

      LOL! It's a good excuse! Sightwitch is just a novella so you don't HAVE to read the first two, but it certainly would give things context. :D
