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 🙂 I went back and forth over whether I would do a stacking the shelves this week; I said last week that this would be the last one I would do before Christmas (which I honestly thought it would be) and I ended up getting WAY too many books so I decided to do another one this week 😛 I have to put up my Christmas tree today and tomorrow is Christmas shopping. I am seriously convinced that my clocks run faster than anyone else’s… where has the time gone?! I can’t believe that this is the second last weekend before Christmas, I have NOTHING done and am so ill prepared this year! Nick and I have a ton to do this weekend to prepare for the holidays so if I’m a little slow to reply this weekend that’s why. Is anyone else scrambling to get ready for the holidays?
None this week!
Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John
*Borrowed from the library
I had actually added this one to my Goodreads TBR a few weeks ago, so when I seen it popped up on the Overdrive library I knew I had to snatch it up!
Vivian Divine is Dead by Lauren Sabel
*From Katherine Tegen Books via Edelweiss
Wicked Games by Sean Olin
*From Katherine Tegen Books via Edelweiss
Running on Empty by Colette Ballard
*From Patchwork Press via Netgalley
The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant
*From Smart Pop Books via Netgalley
Promise of Shadows by Justina Ireland
*From Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers via Edelweiss
Tease by Amanda Maciel
*From Balzer + Bray via Edelweiss
Vivian Divine is Dead, Wicked Games and Tease I hadn’t paid much attention to, but when I seen them on everyone’s stacking the shelves last week I decided to check them out. So glad I did because they all sound AMAZING! And I’ve seen a ton of updates on people reading Wicked Games and it sounds like it’s going to be a great read. I also seen Running on Empty on another post last week; I hadn’t heard of it at all so when I looked it up on Goodreads I knew I would have to get it. Sounds exactly like something I would love! The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant sounds interesting and unique so I was happy to get approved for this one and finally Promise of Shadows; I really loved The Chaos of Our Stars this year so I want to try out another mythology book!
The Runaway Queen by Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson
*Borrowed from the library
I refused to purchase these seperatly because there are way too many of them, and I will be waiting for when they are sold together in a book but I seen the audiobooks are available on Overdrive so I requested the second book 🙂
This will absolutely be my last book-obtaining week until Christmas, 😛 What did you guys pick up?
Nice haul! I have Wicked Games too and I’m pretty curious for Promise of Shadows. =)
Thanks Bieke 🙂 I’m really curious about Promise also… I passed over it the first few times, but then I kept thinking back to it so I decided to request it!
I hope you enjoy your books 🙂 I’ve seen Wicked Games around quite a bit this week. I have Running on Empty to read as well!
Thanks Chrissi!! Running sounded so interesting, I couldn’t resist!!
I have Wicked Games for review, it sounds good. Happy reading.
Thank you Luna! Wicked Games is probably my most anticipated out of this bunch so I hope to get to it soon 🙂
I saw all the new Harper titles pop up, but I’m refraining from downloading any more until I get through the stack of January/February titles that I already have on my e-reader. It’s taking some SERIOUS restraint though … there’s some really interesting ones on there!
And I had NO IDEA that Maureen Johnson and Cassandra Clare were co-writing … having read books by both authors, it seems like a strange combination? Are they short stories? Or???? I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Melissa, kudos to you! I have zero restraint… clearly. I wish I could wait and get through some of my books, but this is seriously a problem for me haha.
Yah, it’s like a short story series featuring Magnus Bane (WHO YOU WILL LOVE! When you read The Infernal Devices!!). I’ve only read the first one but I will give his a try on audio book. I haven’t read books by Maureen Johnson but I do know what you mean, doesn’t she write contemporaries? It is an interesting combination 🙂
Nice haul. So many good books this week. All The Harper titles are so tempting. Come check out my stack as well.

Agreed Grace, the Harpers titles were incredibly tempting!!
Enjoy all of your amazing books this week! 😀
My StS
Thanks Jess 😀
The The Unseemly Education of Anne Merchant looked good! I cant’ wait to hear your review.
Thanks Pamela 🙂 I’m really looking forward to that one, I love boarding schools 😛
SO many awesome books! All the Edelweiss/Netgalley titles sound awesome, especially Tease since it seems so unique.
Tease does sound unique, I think it’s going to be really heart wrenching though… especially since it’s based on a true story 🙁
I’ve seen some these on EW and NG but the titles and covers really didn’t catch my attention. I hope that you get to enjoy all of them.
Have fun reading.
Charlotte @ Thoughts and Pens
I agree Charlotte, the covers actually didn’t catch my attention either. It wasn’t until I seen them pop up so often that I decided to look at them and now I’m quite interested 😛
Thanks 🙂
I keep on seeing Wicked Game everywhere and I am tempted to get it but the one review I have seen was really negative 🙁 Enjoy your books 😀
My Stacking the Shelves
OH no, that’s a shame Laura 🙁 I actually have seen a few good reviews and that’s what made me pick it up! Thanks for dropping by !
I picked up Vivian Divine is Dead and Wicked Games last week, which I hadn’t heard of until they came up on edelweiss, but they do sound amazing. Hope you enjoy them and happy reading! 🙂
Thanks Kirsty-Marie 🙂 Iwas the same… both of those I hadn’t heard of, and actually passed them up last week but then went back and checked them out after seeing them on so many StS 🙂
Nice haul! I’ve got Wicked Games and I cam’t wait to read that one. I hope you enjoy them all. My STS.
Thank you 🙂 Wicked Games sounds SOOOOO good!!
