Stacking the Shelves & Week in Review 6/13/15



Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews to share what we've added to our shelves for the week.

Well, I had a semi-productive week. Lots of posting and lots of reading. Now I just need to get more reviews up. That's my goal for next week. I ended up with way more books this week than I inteded. I got some early birthday money (my birthday is next Thursday, June 18th) and of course I bought books with it. I definitely didn't intend to get so many eARCs. A whole bunch of stuff I requested a while ago finally got approved this week and then a whole bunch dropped on Edelweiss. I also have no self control.

Here's this week's haul:

The Edge of Forever by Melissa E. Hurst
The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly by Stephanie Oakes

  17. GORGEOUS haul and of course I love seeing the kitties ♥ I still need to read my copy of Illusionarium and Stolen Songbird for that matter. I just got Velvet Undercover too but it's going to go on next week's StS post. Oh and I really want to get my hands on The Stars Never Rise and A Thousand Nights:D LOVE the covers for Seraphina Black and Spinning Starlight too! I hope you're having an awesome weekend Michelle and happy reading!! xxx

  18. I got Finding Audrey at work as well, and LOVED it! Hope you do as well. You got a lot of egalleys that I have and can't wait to get to. I tried reading and DNFed Illusionarium, too steampunk for me I think but the story seemed like it might be good. I was a bit disappointed in the Rachel Vincent one as I loved her Soul Screamers series, but that being said, it was still a pretty good story. Have a great week!
