Stacking the Shelves: The Pretty Overuse 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.

I don't have much of a life update this week. I've just been working, watching TV, reading, sleeping. The usual. I guess technically I've been better about working out, so that's a positive. I'm slowly getting my groove back. Now, I just need to get work to calm down some more, get through ApollyCon, and then I plan to really be back into a good routine. Maybe I'll even sprinkle in some late spring cleaning too.


As for the books I received, I finally got the first book in the Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep series, which is Kings of Quarantine by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. It's their luxe author edition, and it's very pretty. I also ordered a Daenerys Pop Mart figure. I'd been wanting this for a couple of years now, but it was a random blind-box type of thing and I didn't want to pay for multiple boxes to try and get a Daenerys when the other figures aren't quite as cute. Thankfully, someone was finally selling her at a decent price on Mercari.
 
 
 
I received my March Adult FairyLoot book as well. It's The Last Starborn Seer by Venetia Constantine. FairyLoot did a decent job with this one. It's pretty. The original cover was pretty too, though, so I'll have to see which version I prefer once I've actually read the story. I do like that the cover is purple. Purple is my favorite color.
 
 
And next up, I have some Barnes & Noble preorders. When I made these orders, I had no idea all of them would arrive and therefore charge me at the same time. I guess I need to pay more attention to release dates when I preorder. Lol. I ended up getting The Summer King by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Smoke and Scar by Gretchen Powell Fox, Cinder Vale by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, and Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry. The good thing is I've already read two of these, so yay to not adding as much to my physical TBR!
 

As for ebooks, I have one: Turncloak by L.K. Steven. I tried really hard not to request this book on NetGalley. I was being good and I kept telling myself that I'd just check it out from the library on my own time. However, the publisher sent an approval email for me, so I didn't even have to request it. Sigh. I'm weak I tell you. And don't get me wrong, I want to read the book, I just have too many NetGalley ARCs that I need to get through right now. But, I couldn't say no. I have five months. I can do that, right?
 
Well, that's all for me. What books have you bought/received lately?
