Stacking the shelves is a weekly meme created by Tynga @ Tynga's Reviews. It's a chance to showcase all the books we've received during the week!
This was a special week for me as a book blogger. In the past, I've received many eARCs and a few paperback ARCs through giveaways or the ARCycling program. Last week I sent out my very first few emails to publishers requesting a few books I really wanted. Although I've been blogging for almost a year, I hadn't felt I had enough of a following to request before now. This week I reached a. Milestone though because it was the first time I heard back from a publisher about a request. I was added to the mailing list AND sent a copy of Resistance by Jenna Black from Tor Teen! It's the sequel to Replica, and it's my very first paperback ARC sent to ME from the publisher. So Tor, you're now located in a special area of my heart.
Ok, onto the books! I got some good ones. I got even more books for Xmas gifts for family and friends..and may have bought a few for myself since my mom said she didn't know what books I wanted. :$ And I already started Persuasion for my Dust off yourClassics challenge. I'm excited for Kresley Cole's series, anyone read it? :O
Oh and I'm doing the holiday #readathon! Who else is participating? It's just for the weekend, then the next one starts. Can't wait to dig into some books..and kinda meh about digging into my huge review pile, but *shrugs* it's gotta get done!
This week on the blog:
* Giveaway: Dragon Craving (INT) (win both books in series!)*

DeleteCongrats on your ARC!! It's so exciting, isn't it?! I just started getting psychical copies from publishers, too. I'm, like, over the moon with giddy happiness every time one comes in the mail! Ohmygosh....booooks. Love them. ^.^ Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMy Sts!
It is very exciting! Congrats to you too! It feels so great <3'^_^
DeleteThanks for stopping by Cait!
Well done on your first ARC! As there aren't too many bloggers in Ireland yet (but it's growing fast!), I got lucky enough to be approached by Penguin Ireland. I was so excited when the books starting arriving and still feel so lucky anytime I get one. I just have two publishers that send me books so far, someday I'll pick up the nerve to approach one of the UK publishing companies! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow that's amazing Trish! Yeah it was super nerve racking for me too! ;)
DeleteResistance looks really good. Congrats on getting an ARC request, and thanks for stopping by:)
ReplyDeleteWow Dee! You got a ton of books this week! I love Kresley Cole! Shadow's Claim looks really good. Happy Reading!

ReplyDeleteChanzie @ Mean Who You Are.
That is awesome about getting a paperback ARC from Tor!!! I haven't had that yet except when I'm on tours. Although I haven't sent a request for some time and my numbers are much better now. Maybe in the new year.
ReplyDeleteI really loved Persuasion! I hope you enjoy it! Goddess Girls are one of my go-to gifts for my nieces. Thanks for stopping by my STS!
