Time for another Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, in which I share the books that I've added to my shelves this week! Check them out:
WON
I won one of Aprilynne Pike's valentine giveaway prize packs! Along with a sack of candy my co-workers are enjoying (I can't have dairy right now T-T), I received these two signed books:
- Defy the Dark (ARC) - A short story collection by popular authors.
- Wings by Aprilynne Pike (SC) - I haven't read the series yet, so when given the choice I picked the first book. While fairies aren't my thing, it's a New York Times Best-selling series, so of course I'll give it a try.
TRADED
- The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda (ARC) - This looked pretty good, so I thought I'd give it a try. My copy has the original ARC cover, which is different, but I don't mind.
PURCHASED - NEW (1/2 price)
- Two Flowers for the Dragon by Nari Kusakawa (Volumes 1-3, 5) (PB) - I scored at the Arizona Matsuri (the local yearly Japanese festival), especially considering this series is now out of print! I already had Volume 1, but 1-3 were a set. Overall, this completes my Two Dragons collection - until someone finishes publishing the series in English one day.
- Tegami Bachi by Hiroyuki Asada (Volume 6) (PB) - This was the one and only series I followed online for a long while, and I can't wait until I collect the manga and rediscover it once more.
PURCHASED - USED
- Incarceron by Catherine Fisher (SC) - I found out about this book last month and have been dying to get my hands on it! Already have Book 2, so here's hoping it's as awesome as it sounds.
- Bloodlines by Richelle Mead (SC) - Everyone has been raving about Book 3, so even though the mention of "vampires" usually sends me running the other way, I decided to give it a try. I hope it's as good as everyone claims.
So what books did you add to your shelves this week?
The Bloodlines series is amazing. It's also a very unique vampire story :) Defy The Dark also looks great and I really want to read the Wings series soon. Enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteI just picked up Indigo Spell the third book in the Bloodline series. It's amazing, so I think you'll enjoy it. I also haven't read the Wings series. I'll look forward to hearing what you think.

I've only read the first two in the Wings story, but I really ought to pick up the third and fourth and finish the series already.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous you got the Hunt, I've been dying to read it and I still need to read the Bloodlines series. Hope you enjoy all of your books.
Good luck with your writing endeavors. I'm a new GFC follower. Feel free to follow back if you'd like to.

I really hope you like Bloodlines? Have you read her other series Vampire Academy? I think most people will agree it is better than Bloodlines, although the Bloodlines series keeps getting better and better. Nice haul - thanks for sharing and happy reading!
ReplyDelete& thanks for stopping by my StS!

New follower! YAY for Bloodlines, though it's my least favorite in the series. I thought I'd like Incarceron but I just really didn't. Oh and I've heard The Hunt is pretty good!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my SP & STS.
