"Stacking the
Shelves" is a weekly haul meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality. It allows book
buyers to share their accumulation of books with the online book-loving
community.
This week was
definitely better than last week. While I did hurt my back last Friday (again),
with rest and relaxation, it is now perfectly fine. (In case you’re curious, I
injured myself at the gym. I felt the riiiiip right as I was doing a squat. It
was super fun times.) And the family drama from last week has settled a bit.
More importantly, there has been NO SNOW. I’m so excited. Sure, it’s drizzled a
couple of times, but it’s been warmer. I love it. I can’t wait until I don’t
have to wear a coat everywhere.

For the books this
week, I have three. These two are ARCs from work. I have finally brought the
last ones home. Whew! At least that’s finally over with. I’m done hauling
bundles of ARCs on the subway.

I was actually
lucky enough to get on the blog tour for this one. It was a total coincidence.
I just happened to email Penguin Teen’s publicity assistant when she had one
place left on the tour. Yay for me! And thank you to Penguin Teen! This one
came with some really fun royal wedding swag! I’m super excited to read this
one. I’m actually letting my roommate borrow it right now. She reads faster
than I do, and I probably won’t get to it until next weekend anyway.
Other than that, I
did buy a book this week, but it won’t be in until Sunday or Monday. I’m still
under for my book-buying budget, though. So no worries there.
What books have
you bought/received lately?
Oh nice! I've never really had the courage to reach out to the publishers to ask for ARCs. Even if I worked up the courage I can never find an email address on the websites! Lucky you to get the last spot! Congrats! Hope you enjoy all your new reads!
ReplyDeleteMy STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

Penguin has a form you can fill out. I just googled to find it.
DeleteSuper cool that you got on the blog tour! I'll have to look up the book, I'd not heard of it before. I love the pink. :D I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend. =)
Check out my post!
Thanks! I'm excited to be on the tour too!
DeleteI am so ready to be able to start leaving my coat at home. I hope to read Royals and am glad you were able to secure a spot on the blog tour. I hope your back stays healed. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, the coat needs to leave. Sadly, I think it's going to snow tomorrow. Boo...
DeleteHope the back is feeling better. Ooo, the Royals one looks like a good one to get into before the upcoming wedding.
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of cool that the release date for this one was so close to the wedding. ;)
DeleteGlad you had a better week! Hope you have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my STS!

Thanks! You too!
DeleteI’m glad you had a better week. Back injuries suck. Whenever I hurt my back, it takes forever to heal, and I keep reinjuring it while it’s healing. I hope you enjoy your new books. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks! Have a good week too!
DeleteAwesome that you got the last spot! It was fate! I hope your back stays better to. I know how that can be. Enjoy your haul!
