Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted over at Tynga’s Reviews, that gives us a place to nerd out about all the new books we’ve gotten recently! I don’t plan on making this a weekly feature, but I do expect to do it once in a while when I get a bunch of books i’m excited to read. Anyway, without further ado, here are some books i’ve acquired lately that I can’t wait to read! (Links will take you to Goodreads)
From the Library
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Seige and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
I feel like I’m really behind on reading some very well loved series, and this is one of them. Excited to start it!
How Not to Find a Boyfriend by Allyson Valentine
I grabbed this one on the way out as my four year old was having a tantrum so I literally have no idea what it’s about. Guess we’ll see!
Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor
I just finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and I am beyond blown away. It was so so good, and I absolutely can’t wait to read this. Again, I know i’m way late on this series, but I’m so glad I picked it up! This one’s getting started tonight.
Purchased
I had some Kindle impulse buys this week . . .
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about her books lately, and grabbed this one to try it out.
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
Another one I’ve been meaning to read forever but haven’t gotten around to!
Last Second Chance by Caisey Quinn
Was looking for a light, easy, fun summertime read and I’m hoping this one will fit the bill!
Won in a giveaway!
Behind the Scenes by Dahlia Adler
I was lucky enough to win a signed ARC of this through The Flyleaf Review, and I’m super excited. I’ve loved Dahlia Adler’s witty writing style through her writing on her website, and the synopsis looks great! Also, it is my very first ARC as a book blogger so I’m going to hug it and squeeze it forever. Also read it and review it of course!! Thanks again to the Flyleaf Review for the giveaway.

I’m interested in the Leigh Bardugo books, too, though I have read some very critical reviews so I’m a little wary… Hope you enjoy them, all the same!

I think the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series gets better with each instalment. And I hope you enjoy the impulse borrow of How Not to Find a Boyfriend. I’ve not read it. But I take my 2 year old niece to the library once a fortnight – she loves the children’s section – but when it comes to me finding books she screams out NO! and runs for the door. Hope you have a great week!

Shadow and Bone and Siege and Storm are amazing books! I really, really hope you enjoy those. The series is one of my favorites. 🙂 Pushing the Limits is also one of my favorites. The 5th Wave isn’t, but it’s still a pretty good book. Congrats on winning your fist ARC as a blogger! Blogger firsts are so much fun and I love to see other bloggers experience them. Behind the Scenes looks like a great book, and I’m looking forward to reading what you think of it.
I hope you enjoy your new books. 🙂
