Stacking the Shelves: The Salty Surprise Edition

 "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.

Another week of 2024 has come to an end. And thankfully, I'm not ill anymore, so I've been able to get back into my workout routine. I also plan to catch up on all the cleaning I've been putting off. Yuck. But other than that, I'm not doing much. I have been reading, though, which has made me very happy. It's good to be back.


As for books, I have some goodies from Sierra Simone. I wasn't able to get my ApollyCon preorder of Salt Kiss from Sierra, as my order was lost somehow by the crew. But Sierra was extremely nice and she sent me a replacement along with some swag and a copy of the novella Salt in the Wound. I'm super grateful Sierra was willing to send this package.

Up next, I have a stack of books I preordered from Barnes & Noble. One of these, Dragon Rider by Taran Matharu, actually arrived last week, and I just forgot to include it in last week's haul. Oops. But the rest all arrived within this week. They include We Could Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian, the new Bloom Books edition of Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Burning Crowns by Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber, The Queen's Starfire Throne by Hailey Turner, and Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland.


And lastly, I have the April FairyLoot Adult book, Evocation by S.T. Gibson. I'm excited for this one. I skipped May's Adult FairyLoot book though, so don't expect FairyLoot copies this month. I think I even skipped the FairyLoot Romantasy box for May as well. The choices just weren't something I'd be interested in. But this is one I've been excited for since the sneak peek. While I wasn't a huge fan of Gibson's Dowry of Blood—I thought it was fine—I think I'll like this one more.

Well, that's all for me. What books have you bought/received lately?

  1. Ooh very nice! That's nice that the author sent you an extra book plus goodies since your Apollycon order got lost! That must have sucked. But I'm always happy to hear authors doing what they can to make up for it! I would've been happy just to get the original book I ordered, but the little extras just goes above and beyond!

    I skipped my April and I think March FL books myself. May is actually the first one I'm getting since February! I decided it was time to actually utilize those skips since they don't get to be piled up if you don't use them, which I so think they should! Lol. Hope you enjoy your new reads! Glad to hear you're feeling better too!


    My StS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then if you can!

    Have a GREAT day!
