Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where you showcase all of the books you received for the week, whether it be physical or electronic books!
Hi everyone 🙂 Happy weekend!! I am SO happy to be at the weekend, I was tremendously busy at work with it being the new year and I was just exhausted by the end of the day yesterday. Plus, I am still battling this freaking cold. It seemingly goes away, and then comes back… probably the weather change is not helping. On Tuesday it was -41 with windchill… insanity; and then today it is plus 2. WTF! How is your body supposed to get used to that?! I’m hoping to get out and take a few pictures tomorrow, depending on if it’s raining or not. If it’s snowing… definitely, raining, not so much.
I didn’t get a lot of books these past couple of weeks. I’ve really been trying to tone it down on incoming books, and the ones that I did purchase were sales so I’m rather proud of myself! I’m hoping to get quite a few things on the blog done this weekend… I’m working on a few organizer posts as well as discussion posts so I’m hoping to have them ready to go for January. I’m also working on scheduling out for two weeks so it’s a busy weekend on the blog!!
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
*Purchased from Indigo Spirit
I own the audiobook of this but since audiobooks and me are hit and miss, I picked up the physical copy. It was only $4.99 at Indigo, I could NOT resist that!! I’ve heard a ton of great things about this one, and since I’m on a historical paranormal fiction kick, I think I will really enjoy it!
The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher
*Purchased on Kindle
Yoga for Beginners by Katherine Stromick
*Free on Kindle
Dirty Red by Tarryn Fisher
*Purchased on Kindle
Betty posted a review for The Opportunist a little bit ago and I was instantly intrigued. I checked it out on Amazon and it was only 99c, I couldn’t pass that up! Then we were talking on Twitter and I decided to read it right then and there. I’m serious. GO READ THIS BOOK! So freaking good! Of course because I read the first, I had to fetch the second immediately. I was hoping to start that last week, but I’m trying to get through a certain review book and it’s not going well 😛 Hopefully I will start that one next week.
I picked up that Yoga book as it was a freebie on Kindle. I’m not a beginner yogi, I would be in the intermediate-leaning-towards-advanced category but there seems to be some useful information in there based on the description so why not?!
Forever by Karen Ann Hopkins
*From Kismet BT for tour review
The Secrets of Lily Graves by Sarah Strohmeyer
*From Balzer + Bray via Edelweiss
The Half Life of Molly Pierce by Katrina Leno
*From Harper Teen via Edelweiss
I’M ON THE FOREVER TOUR 🙂 I am SOOOO excited to be a part of this tour. This is one of my most anticipated series enders of the year, I cannot wait! I fell in love with this series, so surprisingly, and just NEED to read this now!
The other books just sound really, really interesting. I discovered them while I was stalking Edelweiss catalogs (what a surprise) so when they became available for review, I couldn’t resist! Plus they are both releases in a few months so I can justify it 😛
None this week 🙂
What did you get this week/past few weeks? Are you trying to limit your book buying for 2014 as well? What review books are you excited for?? Link up!!!!
Great haul! I really like the look of The Secrets of Lily Graves, looks like an interesting read. I hope you enjoy your books 🙂 My STS.

Your welcome Bieke, and thanks for popping over to mine as well 🙂 The Half Life of Molly Pierce does sound interesting, it’s a debut author and I try to read a lot of those every year so I hope this is a winner !!!
I hope you enjoy Grave Mercy! It’s one of my all time favorite historical fiction books! I’m also super excited for The Secret of Lily Graves! Enjoy the books! 🙂
Emily @ Books, Kittens & Coffee recently posted..What’s next on your TBR pile?
Thanks Emily! I love hearing everyone say good things about Grace Mercy. I originally snubbed it off because I didn’t think i would like it. I wasn’t into historical fiction anymore and found it boring but the last several months I’ve really fallen back in love with it, especially when it has a paranormal element and this book was at the top of tbr 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!!
I’m really curious about The Half Life of Molly Pierce and The Secret of Lily Graves, I’m going to have to check those out 🙂

I tried to restrain myself this time around but those two caught my eye, it seems a lot of people got them this week as well so I hope they interest you 🙂
Grave Mercy!!! Love that book so much! Read it right now. You will swoon over Gavriel Duval. I bought The Opportunist too, but haven’t read it yet. Can’t wait though after seeing you and Betty rave over it. I’m pretty excited. 🙂

Grave Mercy is a great read! I loved the historical setting. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂

I’m trying to keep away from getting lots of new books as well, I’m feeling a new year book cleanse!
