Stacking the Shelves & Week in Review 8/8/15



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, this StS post is going up LATE today. I've had a lot going on personally, but today I've spent with my son. He crashed out for a few minutes, so I'm throwing this together quickly. I didn't add much to my shelves this week. I only bought one book but I got a few good ones for review from Edelweiss and NetGalley.


Bought

    Been hearing a lot of good buzz surrounding Reawakened. I feel bad that I missed it at BEA, but the hardcover looks really good. You got some amazing books this week. Thanks for visiting me this week.

    Most of these are new to me. Menagerie is on my wishlist. I'm looking forward to reading another Rachel Vincent book. I think it'll be good.
    Happy Reading!

    Ummm, SO MANY great books here! I am absolutely dying to read The Love That Split the World- it sounds like something I am absolutely going to adore. Plus that cover!! Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?! There's also been a lot of hype surrounding The Forbidden Wish, so I'm definitely excited to read that one soon. Looks like I'll need to drop by EW and grab some of these.

    Happy reading! <33

    I like the cover for Reawakened-it's quite striking. I haven't read any of the books on your haul this week but I hope you have fun with them!

    ohmy, you got Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys!! I'm really excited for that since it was announced. Would love to read what you thought of it. Hope you enjoy your new books, Michelle! :)

    Oooh very nice! I loved Reawakened! So glad Colleen has a new series out again! I felt the withdraws after the Tiger's Curse Saga ended! Other than that and Menagerie, which I'm reading and loving now, these are all new to me reads! Hope you enjoy each and every one of them!

    Here's my STS

    Have a GREAT day!

    I don't know how I missed out on The Forbidden Wish on Edelweiss! I had to go request it as soon as I saw you had it. Great haul this week. I haven't requested Menagerie, just because I already have so many other egalleys expiring that same week. But I do want to read it.

    I have Reawakened and Menagerie too! I wanted to get Strange Girl by Christopher Pike, but that book is from a male POV it looks like, and I don't enjoy them as well for some reason. Let me know if it's any good! My ARC August has 17 books on it and I already finished 2 before those. I know I probably won't read them all this month, but I'm a mood reader, so I figure some of them will get tackled <3 Have a great week!

    Ok, so you got a lot of gorgeous, gorgeous books, but they're all new to me O.O I still need to read Colleen Houck's Tiger Saga so I've heard of her at least LOL In the meantime, i'm off to check out the rest of these on Goodreads :) Happy reading Michelle! xx

    Great haul of books! Lots of titles there that are on my wishlist, especially the new Christopher Pike!

    Enjoy them all and happy reading :)

    Whoa, nice haul! I really want to read so many of these, and had NO idea that those Penguin titles were on EW. I have a question though- I have heard that they do not accept blogger requests on EW, so should I even bother? (I assume you have auto approval or something?)

    ANYWAY. I contemplated requested Menagerie but I have too many books to read right now. Oh, shucks, I will have to buy it ;) Reawakened is SO pretty! I love it! And you have to let me know how My Secret To Tell is. I have heard mixed reviews so I am just not sure.

    Hope you enjoy all of these, and have a fabulous week!

      I'm on EW as a bookseller, which is what they usually prefer. I have auto-approval for 99% of the books/publishers on there. I place orders for the store as their YA expert, so that's why. They do look at the requests and will approve bloggers, depending on the publisher. It's always worth a try! I actually hadn't heard of a few of these before I saw them on EW or NG.

      Thanks for stopping by!

      Thanks :) I had heard conflicting things, so I figured I'd ask someone who'd likely know the REAL answer!! :D Hope you enjoy!
