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!
YAYYY!!! It’s the long weekend 🙂 We have four days off and I could not be more excited for them! Today we are going to pick up our keys to the condo! I’m super excited to see all the renovations that were done and then the rest of the weekend will be largely devoted to packing… not so fun 😛 I hope to get a good start on it so I can be a little less stressed and I also hope to get a good amount of reading done!
I’ve been really trying to cut back on the amount of books I’m buying so we can put forth that extra money towards fun new decorating stuff, as well as I have cut down on requesting review books. I need to focus on reading the ones I have and also my TBR! I won a few giveaways the past few weeks though and that thrilled me! I also was the Blue team winner for the YASH Spring event and I nearly fainted when I found out – I won 25 books! A lot of them are releases that I am extremely excited for so they will be coming in over the next couple of weeks! Anyways… onto the books.
A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller
*Won giveaway held by The Bookish Daydreamer, Sab the Book Eater, and The Reading Nook Reviews!
I had borrowed this from the library a few weeks ago but I returned it when I found out I won this giveaway, as it had a very large waiting list. I left off at about 17% so I can’t wait to dive back into this one 🙂
Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland
*Purchased on Kindle Daily Deal
Pointe by Brandy Colbert
*Borrowed from the library
A Breath of Frost by Alyxandra Harvey
*Borrowed from the library
Tempus by Holly Lauren
*Won giveaway at Daisy Chain Book Reviews
I purchased Nantucket Blue because I’ve been dying to read this one. Cass adores it and is always book pushing it on me so I couldn’t pass it up when it was on Kindle daily deal! Pointe & A Breathe of Frost were 2014 releases that were highly anticipated so I had to grab those up when they came onto my libraries Overdrive! Tempus I had only recently heard about but it sounded so intriguing and I am very excited I won a copy of it 🙂
None this week!
None this week!
What have you gotten the past few weeks? Have you read any of these titles? What were your thoughts?! Link up your hauls please!!!!
I’ve seen Pointe around a lot, I’m going to check that one out on Goodreads. A Breath of Frost looks amazing! 😀 Great haul!
Thanks Bieke 🙂 I’m not usually one for ballet stories but Pointe sounds dark and I like dark stories 😛
I’m dying to get my hands on a copy of A Mad, Wicked Folly! It sounds SO GOOD. I kind of want to buy Nantucket Blue, but I don’t even know what it’s about and the cover doesn’t really appeal to me. I’ll wait until you’ve read it, I think XD
From what I’ve read Amber, A Mad, Wicked Folly IS so good!! I can’t wait to pick it up again, I’m just trying to clear out my library books before they expire haha. Oh this will sound bad, but I’m not entirely sure what Nantucket Blue is about either haha. Cass(Books with Cass) has raved so much about it that I just picked it up haha. I had read the summary before so I did know, it’s a summer type read 😛 wow… that sounds terrible as I write it, that’s a sign I need to stop BUYING! I will let you know how it turns out though!!
EEK! And I just realized that I did not resubscribe to your feed when you moved to WordPress! When I clicked on your blog and seen your book haul post, I thought, “Hey, that didn’t show up in my feed” so I searched and the last post was 45 DAYS AGO! Fail on my part !!! All is well now though haha.
Congrats on your condo! Being English I’m not actually sure what this word means. I Googled and I think it’s a house or an apartment? Somewhere you can put bookshelves is always great. 😀
Happy reading!
This week I visited UK’s most beautiful library! Find me Under The Mountain
Yes it’s a type of apartment, you’re right! AND EXACTLY… any place to put bookshelves is great 🙂
You’ve won a really interesting giveaway this week! I really want to read it myself at some point. 🙂 Happy reading and have a great weekend!
Thanks Sofia 🙂 I hope you had a lovely weekend as well!
A Mad, Wicked Folly is high on my wish list. Some of my most trusted bloggers have been raving about it and I love the sound of it. Happy reading and congrats on winning a copy 😀
Thanks Mel 🙂 I have gotten a bit into it already and it’s SO good! I love the rebellious nature of the main character, that’s usually a win for me. And I agree, so many bloggers are raving about it!
A Mad Wicked Folly is on my list, and not just because I want the dress on the cover haha. I was surprised at how much I loved Nantucket Blue because I’m not usually a contemp. person. Now, I need to read the second one! Happy reading 🙂
My StS
Oh, I am so happy to hear that you loved Nantucket Blue as well! I’m not normally a contemp person either but one of my dearest blogging friends loved it so I needed to pick it up 🙂
Nantucket Blue sounds like a cute romance! Enjoy!
Thanks Jennifer 🙂 I’m really compiling a list of contemps for the summer so this one is perfect!!
Good luck with the packing, moving, and unpacking. I just dread the thought of packing my thousands of books. I may live here until I die. Enjoy any reading time you can fit in. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
Oh, that is one of my least things I’m looking forward to! There are just SO many lol. Ah well, on the plus side it will be fun reorganizing them 🙂
I enjoyed A Breath of Frost though it took me two tries to get into it. I so need t get a copy of A Mad, Wicked Folly (been hearing a lot of good things) and congrats on the major win! 🙂
Oh, so glad you enjoyed A Breath of Frost! I haven’t seen a ton of reviews about it. Thanks so much 🙂
A Mad Wicked Folly!!! How were you liking it when you left off? Seriously one of my favorite books of the year. Tweet me when you start reading again!!
OH, I was LOVING it when I left off 🙂 I’m hoping to start it this week… I’m really dying to jump back into it!!! I will definitely tweet you when I start reading again!!! Omg.. and did you see inside the dust jacket? FREAKING BEAUTIFUL! I nearly want to take the thing off and put it on my shelf naked haha.
[…] yah, and did I mention that I got way too many books? lol. It’s not really a complaint because in reality I love it… although my […]
