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!
Bahaha. And the ban is broken. Ah well, I gave it a good go. And honestly I think this is probably the last time I will purchase before Christmas. The only reason I did was there was some amazing bargain books that I couldn’t pass up. $5.00 for hardbacks that I would be buying anyway at $20 a pop? Yah… I’ll choose bargain books, lol. I did a lot of Christmas shopping this week… I loveeeee Christmas shopping 🙂 The actual event of it is kind of stressful, especially in Toronto because it’s sooooo busy, but I love getting everything home and wrapping it up 🙂

Oh, I’d love to have a look at the Cassandra Clare Novelette. Enjoy your haul – hope your cats not secretly plotting 😉
I’m interested to see how this is going to be also! I like that she look a part in it, sometimes I don’t like the companion books written by authors that didn’t write the original series.
Thanks for stopping by!
I bought Possess recently too! It looks so good, and that cover is gorgeous. I am just like you and I can’t pass up good deals on books! Great haul, I hope you enjoy all the new goodies!
Thanks Jenni! I would think you need a lot of self restraint to resist the bargain books at Indigo, haha. I am not that person. I will be checking over for your review of Possess 🙂
I’ve read TEN but not Possess – I hope you like it. Happy reading.
I’ve been dying to read Ten as well Luna, I heard it was a little bit scary 😛
I didn’t think it was scary, more clever. I’d say it’s the same level of scary as films like Scream. Were you scared by those?
OOohh! Nope those ones didn’t scare me! I’m can’t wait to get my hands on this now 🙂
Ooh, my co-blogger bought Possess a few weeks back. She hasn’t read it though Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! I heard quite a few good things so I couldn’t resist 😉
wow, awesome haul!! Possess looks awesome! And I love the cover of Hades, though I haven’t read Halo yet. Enjoy reading! Here’s mine: http://jonababez.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/stacking-the-shelves-18/
I haven’t read Halo either lol, although I do own it but I couldn’t miss the chance to get the second book while it was on bargain!
Thanks for stopping in 🙂
Hey, you did pretty well with the ban! And how can anyone be expected to ignore awesome book bargains? Have to admit that I’m more than intrigued by How To Tell If Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You. I may have to buy that one for the title alone! Happy reading!
Lol.. it was the longest I did go on a ban so I guess it was pretty good, haha. I don’t think anyone should be expected to pass up bargain books!! lol. Honestly, the cat book is hilarious. If you are a cat lover, you will really get the humor behind it. It’s worth a check out… just for the laugh if anything!
Thanks for dropping in Alexia 🙂
Ha, that cat book is perfect! I wasn’t aware that Gretchen McNeil had written another book besides Ten, which is on my to-read list; I’ll look forward to seeing your thoughts!
Happy reading! 🙂
The cat book is HILARIOUS Merin, lol.
I had only just heard of Possess too, but it seems like she holds true to the creepish nature of her novels! The cover is scary(but marvelous) lol.
Thanks for stopping in!
Love the haul, Lauren!! I’ve been meaing to start sookie stackhouse, but there is just so many books in the damn series, that i dont really feel like getting myself all tangled up in that….
but “how to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you” is HILARIOUS! I work at Indigos book store, and we sell at least 10 copies a day. it’s crazy!
btw you should do a read-along with me for code name verity :p
Thanks Rola!!! I was reluctant with the Sookie series too but I decided to pick up the first one and actually really liked it! Plus the mass market “true blood” editions are perfect size for reading on the train to work, especially if I have to stand 😛
I haven’t sat down and read the cat book fully yet but the parts I did…. hilarious! JEALOUSSSS that you work at Indigo… although I’m not sure if I would not much “work”… they would find me off in the stacks somewhere neglecting my duties, lol.
We should do a Code Name Verity read along! When do you plan on starting?! I was going to pick it up this weekend!!!
Possess! Freaky but so good! I love Gretchen McNeil. She is awesome at writing that creepy stuff. Also, Shadowhunters and Downworlders is something I am excited for! I hope you enjoy it! Happy reading. 🙂
Come check out what books I got this week!
Thanks so much for stopping in 🙂 I can’t wait to start on Possess… this will be my first Gretchen McNeil book and I heard her books are awesome!!!
Great haul! I’d love to get Possess myself, sounds like a great book!
My Haul.
Thanks Ula! I think I’ll be picking that one up pretty soon because it’s appealing to me so much over on that stack, lol.
Great set of books you got this week! I absolutely love the Sookie Stackhouse books! Hades was also a good read! Enjoy all that you got this week! Thanks for sharing and happy reading!
