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.
Thanks 🙂 It does look really interesting so I hope it turns out as good as it sounds! I haven’t read any of Sarah Strohmeyers books, but I have heard good things about them!
Nice haul indeed. The Harper Teen titles are really popular this week. Come visit me as well.
Grace
HarperTeen titles are always in the stacking the shelves, they are so good to book bloggers and whitelist so many of us 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Grace!
Nice haul! The half life of Molly Pierce sounds interesting!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂 Enjoy your books Lauren!
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! 🙂
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. 🙂
I actually wanted it more after I seen your vlog 🙂 I had the audio book for awhile but I needed the physical book 🙂 I CANT WAIT to meet this Gavriel. I am SO excited for you to read The Opportunist, tweet lots 🙂
Grave Mercy is a great read! I loved the historical setting. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂
Thanks Montana! I can’t wait to read Grave Mercy, so many people have raved about it!
Aw, I hope you beat that cold. I hate those kinds of colds where they can’t decide if they’re coming or going. Grr. Sounds like you’ve got some really good books this week! Happy reading! 🙂 My StS!
Agreed, they are indeed the worst! At least this one has decided to be full blown as of this morning so I know an end is coming 🙂 Thanks Cait !!

It IS going to be awesome 🙂 I have to wait a bit before I can start it though… other ones ahead of it 🙁
I hope your cold disappears soon.
I’m trying to keep away from getting lots of new books as well, I’m feeling a new year book cleanse!
Thanks Sarah 🙂
I agree, a cleanse is in order! It’s sooo sooo hard though 😛
Can’t wait to read The Half Life of Molly Pierce, eek. Happy reading! 🙂
I know right? It sounds so good 🙂
The Forever cover feels me with whimsy. 🙂
I love it <3 Have you read this series Pamela? it’s very, very good! I initially thought I wouldn’t like it but I was SO SO surprised 🙂
