Stacking the Shelves (10/12/13)

Time for another Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, where I share the books that I've added to my shelves this week.

EPIC LIBRARIAN HAUL:

(I have several of these titles already up for trade on the YA Exchange here!)

The titles I was immediately excited about were:

• Altered by Gennifer Albin - After Crewel's rather explosive ending, I'm really interested to see where this series goes!
• Pawn by Aimee Carter - I've been hearing good things, and it definitely looks interesting.
• Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau - It's been a long and impatient wait, but I finally got my hands on a copy! 
• The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman - At first glance this wasn't a book for me, but the summary is definitely intriguing and creepy so I'll give it a try!

WON:

I won a 15-book giveaway from Krystal @ Live to Read! I had no idea what was coming, so I was really excited at some of these tieles! 

(She's holding a second 15-book giveaway right now - enter here to win!)

OTHERS:

• Untold by Sarah Rees Brennan (ARC - Arcycling) - My first snag from Arcycling. I had mixed feelings about Unspoken, but I hear this one is better. Here's hoping!

Stacking the Shelves (9/28/13)

Time for another Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, where I share the books that I've added to my shelves this week.

EPIC LIBRARIAN HAUL:

(I have several of these titles already up for trade on the YA Exchange here!)

The titles I was immediately excited about were:

• Through the Zombie Glass by Gena Showalter - I haven't read Alice In Zombieland yet, which is actually a shock since I'm such a major Alice fan, but I'll definitely be grabbing it soon!
• The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas - Definitely excited for this one! Will be getting to it very soon.
• This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales - This author will be here on the 30th for the Fierce Reads tour, so I was excited to be able to read it before she came. But it's really not my kind of read, so I'm struggling.
• Perfect Ruin by Lauren DeStefano - It seems like everyone was excited for this book - except me. I'm giving it a try, though.
• Relic by Renee Collins - I already snagged a finished paperback from the publisher during a Twitter giveaway, but I'm definitely excited to read this book!

OTHERS:

• Cinder and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer (Hbk - Purchased New) - You know a series is good when I purchase the hardcovers new to get them signed. So excited for the Fierce Reads tour stop here on the 30th!

Time for another Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, where I share the books that I've added to my shelves this week (and last week as well, actually).

EPIC LIBRARIAN HAUL:

Way too many books to list here, but the ones I was immediately excited about were:

• Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block - Tiny little thing, and the cover and title are just too interesting not to give it a try.
• Belle Epoque by Elizabeth Ross - Originally dismissed this as just another historical romance, but upon reading the summary I discovered its premise is exactly what I'm super-excited about with Kiera Cass's upcoming series! Seriously looking forward to this one now.
• The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani - I thought this was a graphic novel and never gave it a second look. Now that I actually have the book, it sounds awesome - can't wait to read it!
• Antigoddess by Kendare Blake - I've been told I must read it, and therefore I will give it a try.
• Relic: The Books of Eva by Heather Terrell - Sounds interesting - I'm game.
• The Coldest Girl In Coldtown by Holly Black - I hated her fairy series (only read Book 1) but loved her Curseworkers series, so I'm unsure if I'll like this one or not. Will definitely give it a try, though!
• Sylo by D.J. MacHale - Some people love it, some people hate it. I guess I'll give it a try and see for myself.
• The 100 by Kass Morgan - Apparently there's going to be a television show? I wasn't really attracted to this one, but Epic Librarian recommended it and everyone is talking about it so I've added it to the TBR pile.

OTHERS:

• The Bride Wore Black Leather by Simon R. Green (MMP - Purchased New) - The last Nightside book for sale at the moment! My collection is caught up, but I'll take my time polishing them off as they are my mindless reads.
• Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis (ARC - Gift) - Thank you to Flannery @ The Readventurer for sending this my way! I am in the need of this type of read right now.
• The Program by Suzanne Young (HBK, signed - Gift) - Major thanks to my local bookish gal Ashley @ yAdult Review! And she brought it for me the night the author was signing, so I got it signed and personalized! While waiting to get it signed, best-selling author Aprilynne Pike told me to read it without delay, so its time shall come very soon (or people will start coming after me).
• Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz & Michael Johnston (ARC - Traded) - My #1 must-have this summer and someone finally traded with me! (Seriously, I tried about half a dozen people before I finally found Rachael of Moosubi Reviews!.) Top of my To-Read pile!

Stacking the Shelves (6/22/13)

Time for another Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, where I share the books that I've added to my shelves this week.

EPIC LIBRARIAN* HAUL:

*Epic Librarian (as she will now be known) is a local teen librarian who gives me the ARCs she has no time to read. I happily give them homes (either my own or others) and she gets the footspace under her desk back for periods of time, so we both win! :)

There are too many books to list here, but the ones I was immediately excited about were:

• Premeditated by Josin McQuein - I normally avoid mysteries, but I loved Josin's Arclight so I'm actually excited for this one! It is on top of my TBR list.
• Altered by Jennifer Rush - I hadn't given this a glance before, but holy heck this sounds like an epic book! Cannot wait to devour it.
• Dualed by Elsie Chapman - Mixed reviews about it, but since I have a copy I'll give it a try.
• Tandem by Anna Jarzab - Did not like the last parallel-worlds book I tried, so hoping this one (with its fantasy elements, which I desperately need right now) will redeem the genre.
• Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger - I have been told time and again to read this book, so now that I have a pretty paperback copy it will get done. (Happy now, Ash?)
• Scarlet by Marissa Meyer - I have yet to read Cinder, but I hear this series is good. I don't normally read out of order, but I've heard rumors that you can read Scarlet without having read Cinder - is this true? Because I might just do it... The "wild" me - embrace it. ;)
• Ink by Amanda Sun - It had me at "set in Japan."
• The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson - This one will either be epic or a yawn for me. I absolutely adored Brandon's Alcatraz series, but his adult books were just too technical to even finish, even if he is the master of magic.

OTHERS:

• Miss Fortune Cookie by Lauren Bjorkman (ARC - Traded) - Sounded cute so I'll give it a try.
• Proxy by Alex London (ARC - Traded) - I've always been fascinated with the concept of a "whipping boy" - looking forward to this one.
• Legend by Marie Lu (PBK - Purchased Used) - Like discovering a gem on a beach of pebbles, I found this beauty at a library Friends for $1.
