Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we share the books we've bought, borrowed, received or downloaded each week!


(Links go to Goodreads)


Bought:

Artemis Fowl and The Last Guardian - Eoin Colfer (My review)


Borrowed:

Went to the library again and got these lovely books:

A Confusion of Princes - Garth Nix
The Piper's Son - Melina Marchetta
Vampire Academy - Richelle Mead
Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone - Kat Rosenfield
Invincible Summer - Hannah Moskowitz

Have been wanting to read all of these! Haven't decided what I'll read first out of my library books but I have yet to read the Vampire Academy series and tons of people have recommended it to me, so I might start with that! Any suggestions?

Link me to your STS because I'd love to see what you got!

Stacking the Shelves (2)

Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we share the books we've acquired or borrowed to our shelves each week!

First, I've been posting less than usual because I'm out of town on a family vacation and a bit behind on my reviews, but will get on that as soon as possible! Second, I'm not a weekly Stacking the Shelves participant because I tend to get books in bulk and not on a weekly basis, but I got an awesome haul this week!

Received:

Penguin's Fall 2012 Breathless Reads slipcase, which I got from one of Jessica Khoury's giveaways. Thank you! Inside:

Venom by Fiona Paul

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

Black City by Elizabeth Richards

The Innocents by Lili Peloquin

Origin by Jessica Khoury

So far I've read Origin, Venom and Black City, and I loved them all in different ways! Origin in particular completely surprised me (in a good way), and was probably the most serious of the three. But they each definitely bring something different to the table. I'm excited to see how Falling Kingdoms and The Innocents stack up!

Library:

Brought my little cousin to the library today and picked these three up! 

Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta

Wonder by R.J. Palacio

Fury by Shirley Marr

I am a huge Melina Marchetta fan (who isn't??) and started Finnikin of the Rock a while back and then got caught up with work and never finished, so I'm excited to finally read it! I've heard amazing things about both Wonder and Fury as well!

Stacking the Shelves

Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we share the books we are adding to our shelves each week.

I wasn't planning on participating on any one of the many book haul memes, because I generally don't buy books every week. I tend to buy in bulk about once a month. But since my blog is new and I've actually been buying books since it's Summer, I'll be participating for now!

Bought: Here are the books I've bought in the 3 weeks since my exams ended.

The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa 
The Gathering Dark by Leigh Bardugo
Eon by Alison Goodman
The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Stolen by Lucy Christopher
Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund

eBook

(Digital copy) This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers

Received: I just finished 2 weeks of work experience at Random House, and I loved it! I'll be posting about my experience soon. I was in the non-fiction department, and they gave me these lovely books to take home, including a cookbook that looks amazing. I don't read a lot of non-fiction, so thank you, Ebury! 

Far Eastern Odyssey by Rick Stein: a cookbook covering far East Asian cuisine! The recipes look soo good.

Charlotte Street by Danny Wallace: 'a heartwarming everyday tale of boy stalks girl'... one of the Random House employees compared it to Nick Hornby, so I'm really looking forward to reading it!

Our Garden Birds by Matt Sewell: a really adorable, tiny book filled with cute drawings of birds and descriptions! I didn't think I would like this but I do!

Shark's Fin & Sichuan Pepper by Fuchsia Dunlop: a travel/food memoir of Fuchsia Dunlop's experiences living and eating in China!

I Left My Tent in San Francisco by Emma Kennedy: a travel memoir that's supposed to be really funny of Emma Kennedy's 'disastrous attempts to cross the USA in the 80s'.
