Stacking the Shelves & #WeekReview 7/4/15

By -
Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews is meant for sharing books you are adding to your shelves. They can be physical, virtual and/or ARCs -- anything really that's ending up on your bookshelf for awhile.

To be honest, a lot of my ARCs have come in virtual and I am not even in the right head space to list them all. Also, our library has been going through the books they are giving away to students participating in the summer reading program so a lot of my physical ARCs and book buys at Goodwill have ended up there. However, buying books for others has been fun especially since it is like a treasure hunt to find the book in such an expansive, disorganized area.

Don't worry though... I wouldn't be putting up a post if I didn't have anything to share with you.



First off, look at those beauties from Susan Dennard?! They are personalized and Christmas gifts for my daughter who already knows about them, because I am a sucker and could not wait to show her the personalizations.

    I'm excited for The Boy Most Likely To! I have an eARC but would prefer an ARC, but I'm not complaining ;) I liked Silver in the Blood! Probably going to give away my ARC. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!

    Have a great weekend!

      The boxed set of Percy Jackson for the 10th Anniversary is so pretty! I love the spines. My daughter is pretty happy about them since they are for her too. Soundless is for me though and I'm so happy to have received it. :)

    Soundless is also in my StS this week. I can't wait for it. I haven't read Susan Denard's books yet. I should probably get around to it. Great haul!

    Oooh! Lots of new shiny books! It's hard to keep a promise not to buy new books when I see so many great ones listed in an StS post like this.

    I'm drooling over The Shrunken Head. How does HarperCollins distribute their ARCs? I didn't see their US division listed at NetGalley?

      I would hate to be on a book ban but completely understand the need for them. To be honest, I have no idea how HarperCollins distributes their ARCs, a contact of mine sent me The Shrunken Head.

      Netgalley isn't my main source of ARCs. I write for Amazon which is from where a lot of my physical ARCs arrive.

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review? That's me lately, LOL!  --> An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir --> Lock & Mori by Heather Petty --> Cress by Marissa Meyer --> Attachments by Rainbow Rowell --> Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell --> Half Wild by Sally Green --> Jackaby by William Ritter --> Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles --> The DUFF by Kody Keplinger   --> My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

#TopTenTuesday: Ten Authors I Read the Most

By -

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. So I am pretty pleased with this list. Unsurprising is how many of these authors are series creators. Really, yeah... I have a tendency to read all the books in a series whether I like the later books or not. OCD bookish tendencies, uhm... yeah.  Per usual, I shall link to the Goodreads pages of these authors in hopes of you finding someone you end up loving and supporting by either requesting a copy for your library or purchasing a copy for yourself. J. K. Rowling Of course, I have read all seven of the Harry Potter novels, the Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through the Ages, The Beedle Bard stories and Very Good Lives. Also, I read Casual Vacancy and own both the Robert Galbraith novels to date. Julia Quinn I have read every single book Julia Quinn has written. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. There's not a book out she's written that I have not read. I adore he

'Waiting On' Wednesday #18: The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine

Ever since this cover debuted, I have been waiting for a chance to make it my WoW choice. Isn't it gorgeous. So much love for this cover. Also, C. J. Redwine is delightfully real in real life despite having an awesomely fictional literary-perfect pen name. She also is such a fannish person that it's hard for me not to want to fan over her. She's a true asset to YA in all that she does and writes and social networks.  Seriously, look her up and then go buy her books, okay? Okay.  DETAILS: Title:  The Shadow Queen Publisher:  Balzer + Bray Publishing date:  February 23, 2016 Author(s):  C. J. Redwine Series:  Ravenspire #1 SUMMARY: Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common—magic. She’ll have to be stronger, fast
