"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’s haul
is ginormous. I did not mean for this to happen, but it did. All of these
books, plus the books I bought for my birthday, mean I have added soooo many titles
to my TBR. It’s going to be total chaos.
Witchling, Dragon Wytch, Harvest Hunting, Blood Wyne,
Courting Darkness, Shaded Vision, Night Veil, Night Vision, and Night’s End by
Yasmine Galenorn
The Reluctant Queen and The Queen of Sorry by Sarah
Beth Durst
I went to visit my
sister this past weekend. She lives in my old college town, so I decided to
visit the used bookstore I used to frequent back when I lived there. I also
brought a bunch of books to trade in for store credit. Unfortunately, they
changed their trade/purchase policy to where you only get to trade for half of
the cost of your order. This meant I had to spend $26.50 on all of these books.
But for 11 books, that’s not a bad deal. Four are in really rough shape, but I
figure I can read these copies and then purchase nicer ones later on because
the Yasmine Galenorn covers are absolutely GORGEOUS.
My sister also gave
me a mug as part of my birthday present. It’s cute and sisterly.
I ordered a
paperback copy of Life and Death from Amazon on a whim a week or so ago,
and it finally arrived. I think I mentioned last week how I was in a Twilight
craze, and the idea of switching sexes for the characters really intrigued me
now more than it did back when this book first came out. I also got Cast in
Firelight via the publisher on NetGalley. I was super surprised I got
approved for this.
Okay, so spoilers
for the August Owlcrate are coming.
I decided to re-subscribe
to Owlcrate. This month’s box is absolutely beautiful, so I’m glad I got it. I
love every item! It’s all purple and pretty! It also has my first booksleeve,
and it’s exactly the design I would gravitate towards if I had purchased my
own. Plus, the pen and the pins and the clipboard are all super cute! Though
the clipboard is a little small. I’m not sure how useful it will actually be,
but it’s pretty. That’s what counts. Oh, and the book! Purple, silver, and
absolutely amazing! It’s like Owlcrate designed this box just for me.
Okay, that’s it
for this week’s haul. I think. This month’s wrap up is going to be a doozy,
trying to get all of these books into one photo. Yikes.
What books have
you bought/received lately?
