Stacking the Shelves (4)

From Tynga's Reviews

 Stacking The Shelves is a book haul meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we share the books we've acquired each week! 

 It's been a couple of weeks since my last STS, simply because I haven't been buying that many books lately and have way too many that I need to get to.

(Links go to Goodreads)

BOUGHT: 


Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson - Reviewed
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (ebook) - Reviewed

I did get a few great books though! I absolutely loved Tiger Lily and despite being disappointed by Throne of Glass still found it a quick and entertaining read. I hope this streak continues with Seraphina!

That's it for me! What did you get this week? Link me because I'd love to see.

    My co-blogger really enjoyed Seraphina. :D It's not up my alley, though, but I will have to check it out soon. I think I can swallow some Dragons if it's made of awesome.

    I loved Seraphina! It's not a fast paced read, but the mythology was so cool. I loved the dragons. I've been dying to read Tiger Lily! Peter Pan is my favorite. Nice haul this week. And I love your blog name :)

      Hope you enjoy them! And I think it's great that you provide 'cleanliness' information! I'm sure a lot of people find it very useful in avoiding things they're not comfortable with. Thanks for stopping by!

    I've heard quite a bit about Seraphina, but very little about Tiger Lily until a recent review on a friends blog. However, I'm very intrested by the title.

    Great haul! :)

    You're the first person I've seen who was disappointed by Throne of Glass ... I tried reading one of the free novellas and couldn't get into it, so I haven't bought it yet.

      Aw. :( I hate being that person, but in a way I was only disappointed by it because I loved the novellas so much more! But it was certainly still good. If you haven't read the novellas yet maybe you'll like it more than I did? Give it a try! :)

    I am thinking about Seraphina. I like the premise. Hope you enjoy and I look forward to your thoughts on the book. I've been hearing a lot about the other two books as well, so I might just need to check them out. Happy Reading!
