Stacking the Shelves (28)

Stacking the Shelves

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!

Happy Weekend 🙂 This weekend was so long coming… it was the first full work week back since before the holidays and it took forever to go by! I’m participating in Bout of Books 6.0 this week so I’ve spent a majority of the week reading. My progress is slow going so far but I plan to read steadily today and tomorrow as this is purely a relax weekend!

Squeeee!!! I got Dare You To on Netgalley 🙂 This isn’t the UK I presume because no cover is listed on NG so I just put the released cover… OMG I am so excited!!! I sent the request and honestly didn’t think anything of it and I was approved! Chapters Indigo had another amazing sale this week and both Colleen Hoover books are $10. Since everyone is raving about her books(and I bought Hopeless last week!) I decided to pick these two up as well, and they were only $10 each! I’m currently addicted to Beautiful Creatures so I picked up the second book in preparation because I feel I won’t be able to stop when it’s finished :S
What did everyone get this week??

Happy Reading!

    Oh my gosh, I want to read Dare You To! I can’t wait to read Beth’s story. I love Noah and Echo’s story. I also need to read something by Colleen Hoover. I’ve heard good things.

    Enjoy all your goodies. Happy reading 🙂

      I hope they are as good as everyone says, lol… I’ve bought 3 in the last 2 weeks haha. I can’t wait to read about Beth though – I loved her in PTL! Thanks for stopping in Quinn!

      I was really surprised when I got approved on NG – I thought for sure it would be a decline, I squealed just a bit haha. Pushing the Limits was so good, I hope it lives up to it!!!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    Slammed looks really interesting! I need to get my hands on a copy of that.

    I’ve heard mixed thoughts on Beta. Hope you enjoy.

    Dare to You looks GREAT! I wish I lived in the UK so I could review that novel! Also, I’ve read Beta and sadly it wasn’t that great. I hope you enjoy it more than I did!

    Thanks for stopping by my Stacking the Shelves post!
    Happy reading!

      I don’t live in the UK! I just sent the request on Netgalley because no restrictions were listed and they approved me! Give it a try! … I’m worried about that with Beta but I’ve wanted to try it out for so long and I figured… hey for the daily deal I don’t have much to lose so here’s to hoping, lol.

      I’m so glad so many of us were approved… SO many of us loved Pushing the Limits and I’m glad we have an opportunity to read Dare You To so early!!! Right before It appeared on NG I was thinking about how long it will take to release because I want it soooo bad, lol.
