"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.
Okay, this week's haul is a little insane, but this was all delivered to my parents' house while I was working a new job in my new-ish city. Therefore, the pictured items are all a three-week accumulation of books and fan art. Please don't judge me for my massive hoarding/spending issue. Lol.
My preordered Iron Fey FairyLoot editions came in this month, and they're a lot prettier in person than what I'd seen on Instagram. Yes, they were nice looking in images, but in person, they're very aesthetically pleasing. I'm so glad I bought them.
This is my first Bookish Box unboxing. I knew going into it that I didn't really care for April's featured book, These Feathered Flames, but I really wanted the FBAA item. And honestly, I'm really happy with this box. I plan on displaying/using everything except for the bookmark and candle. I just wish the book had been something I was more excited for. However, I am still very salty that the Ascend the Throne theme card for the month featuring FBAA art was included in the March box and not the April one. It irks me greatly.
The April FairyLoot box, like 90% of FairyLoot's boxes, was late. However, I am very happy with its contents. While pins aren't my favorite items, April's was a Daevabad one, which works for me. Also, soap is kind of eh for me too, but I just moved to my own place, and having extra soap never hurt anybody. I will say that the artwork on the tarot cards and the Spinning Silver print (which was part of March's box, but it didn't arrive in time to be included) isn't my favorite. But I love the tote and the book!
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao was the only ebook I received, and it's a NetGalley ARC. I honestly requested this thinking I wouldn't get approved at all. It seems like a big book from the buzz it's been getting on Twitter, but I was lucky. I hope to read it as soon as my 15-book buying challenge is complete.
Oh wow! You did good for a couple of weeks! Liking a lot of your goodies! I love all the art too, though my problem is having the space for displaying the art. That's not always a possibility for me.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all of your new reads!
My StS will be up tomorrow so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

Oh, I have no space right now. I'm hoping to get a bigger place in a year or so that will allow me display fan art better. For now, all the artwork is in a box at my parents' house.
