Stacking the Shelves #35

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga @ Tynga's Reviews. 

This month really wasn't the 'month' to buy books. I'm still waiting on my spring break to come through so I could spend most days in Barnes & Noble on my computer sipping coffee. I'm also getting my stipend in April, which ultimately means book-buying crazeeeee. But anyways, I did receive some books from publishers and won a few giveaways :D

Books I Bought

   

My review for Kill The Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky --> here! 

Books I Received for Review

 

I received Run from the YA Teen Author Festival at Books of Wonder in March! I'm so excited to read it because she says it's very different from The DUFF. I also received a box from the Novel Tea Club subsription to review. It's a monthly sub box that caters for the perfect night in. There are usually 5-7 items included, always with a book and some sort of tea package! I loved my March box and you can read my review and get a discount code here.

What books did you get this week?

Weekly Wrap-Up

So for awhile now I have been doing MONTHLY wrap up posts where Alex and I include our book haul, posts, etc.

As soon as I published that April post, the very next day…and day after that…I kinda went a little crazy on EW and Netgalley :$ as well as the library bookstore and using my Barnes & Noble coupons (because they expire and then those 20% coupons will never see the light of day again…) I have been doing SO well abstaining from getting tons of review books since I don't have any reading time (seven days of working will do that).

However, the good news is this week is the first week that my schedule changes. I requested 1 day off every week (either Saturday or Sunday) and I have Weds off after 12 noon. So it's like a half day. I'm working on doing a full day off Weds so I can have two days off like a normal person, although they'll be non-consecutive.

I feel compelled to post my book haul this week, I know if I wait I will forget some and also because I AM SO EXCITED about these books guys! The sequel to Messenger of Fear, Tatooed Heart is now in my grasp I don't know how I am going to wait to read it. I also can't wait for another genie tale in A Whole New World..Aladdin retelling *yesplease* :O

The excitement over books was back in full force this week and I am more than happy to switch up the blog post norm and share my excitement with y'all. As always, I *love* your feedback! Have you read or heard of any of these upcoming releases? What are you reading or do you have a recommendation for me?

This week I'll be posting a few more of my graphic novel reviews, so keep an eye out for that. Including an actual Marvel graphic novel (who knew?!) lol. I'm currently in the middle of Nora Roberts Blood Magick, it's the 3rd book in the series with witches and yes its romance. It's really tame though. It's less hot than most of the YA books I read, but I enjoy the series and I'm so glad to add another series to my "finished series" list ;)

Stacking the Shelves #34

This week was another super busy week in my personal life. In case you were wondering why I've been posting less, and missed my post explaining it.. It's basically bc I have an insane social life for the first time in years. I'm dating again, which is fun and time consuming. Anyways, I'm still reading...it's just harder for me to muster the energy to read review book after review book while my bookshelf of books I wanna read continues to get neglected. BUT that's been different lately. I've read some Percy Jackson and my spirits are improved! ^_^ 

So heres what I got this week: I'm MOST excited about A World Without Princes (School for Good and  Evil 2). thank you HarperCollins!

This week was blessedly slow. I have pushed through several blog tour review books this week...but I still have several books for review to read now too. So far I haven't really gotten to read any books I got for Christmas :( I'm hoping to change that this week! I was so happy when I found Fragile Spirits on my doorstep. I had completely forgotten I had preordered it! (Check out my discussion post bout the waste/necessity of preordering books).

Also I'm going out of town this week for my birthday (which is on Monday) to San Fransisco! :party I'm so excited! There'll be less posts but when I get back I'm planning a giveaway. 

Here's a recap of the posts this week  :O

Friday: Make haste to preorder or waste to preorder? Discussion post

Thursday: Isabella: Braveheart of France Blog Tour Review

Tuesday: Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott - ARC Review

Monday: The Illicit Love of a Courtesan - Blog Tour Review

This week has been the first week where I started to kinda cut back on blog posts a bit in order to have a more active life-- [read more about that here.] 

I received some books for upcoming tours, and traded some too. I'm very happy to be reading still even though my life has been so crazy busy!

Stacking the Shelves #31

Stacking the shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga @ Tynga's Reviews. It's a chance to showcase all the new books we've added to our shelves! 

This week I couldn't help but take advantage of the deals on Amazon and added some books to my kindle! I really am excited about Firebird. I like Susanna Kearsley, and my friend recommended I read outlander, it's supposedly a great time travel romance. 

Don't forget to enter my Clear Your shelf Giveaway and win a mystery box of books, including a book of your choice (US).

My Christmas Haul!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! I had a very Merry Christmas -- full of good cheer, family, presents, and tons of books! :party I knew I'd have to make a special book haul post this year for the crazy amount of books I got! I tried to capture them all in pics, but they turned out kinda blurry so I included them individually too so you don't have to squint to see lol. ;) I already started reading Dark Witch (it's great so far!) and I already finished the Willow graphic novel (review posting soon).
My Secret Santa gave me Not A Drop To Drink, Etiquette & Espionage, Switch, Torn, and Awaken, and Dark Witch! Thank you so much :O She also gave me cute nail polish and a cute pen with candy.

I feel extremely blessed for all the gifts and love I received this year. I'm taking a mini break by just decreasing the frequently of posts a bit  until after the New Year. Not by much, but just enough for some more reading time.

What do you think of my haul? Any suggestions on what to read first? Lol xP
