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!
Weekend: You are here 🙂 I hope everyone had a fabulous week! My highlight this week was finally getting to read the much-anticipated Requiem. Gah. I booked the entire day off at work, because I’m crazy like that and I was ELATED to finally have that baby in my hands first thing Tuesday morning. I was so apprehensive once I finally had it because I knew it was the end… and what if I hated it? What would that do to my FAVORITE series in my eyes?! Needless to say I read it in one sitting, and ended up loving it(but not as much as the first two… see my review here). Did anyone pick up Requiem this week? Was it what you expected? I’ve loved reading all the mixed reviews on Requiem so please link yours up !! I went absolutely crazy with ebooks… honestly, there is just no explanation, rhyme or reason for it anymore… and the sad part is I hardly like ebooks, but the sales. Oh the sales.

All of my ebooks, with the exception of Raven(stupid prices for these novellas that I just HAVE to have), were on sale so I snatched them up. I know I probably won’t read half of these books in the next year but they are all on my TBR and what’s the point of picking them up at 10-20 dollars in a physical copy/regular priced e-book when they are on sale NOW, lol. I also slowed down quite a bit with requesting new review books… and I hope to continue that next week. Both of my review books I received I am super excited to read though… especially Insomnia. That cover gives me the willies…
What did you get this week? Please be sure to leave your posts at the bottom so I can check them out 🙂
Happy Reading,
xo Lauren
I haven’t picked up Requiem, but my sister in law will likely be buying it for me for my birthday :). I’m kinda nervous to read it though, due to all the mixed reviews!
I really liked Statistical Probability. I think I read it in almost one siting, so I hope that you like it too. NAND Shatter Me is good too!!!
I was really, really nervous as well but I was pleased 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you think of it!
I absolutely love the cover for Statistical and I’ve heard so many great things about it!
Thanks for stopping by Melissa! I hope all is well with you, baby & hubby!!
NAND should be AND … Still learning to type on this iPad!!
You get so many interesting titles. How do you find the time to read all these books. Some of them are new to me.
Grace
Lol… I don’t find NEARLY enough time Grace. That’s the problem, haha. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I picked up a novella this week, too, to tide me over until book two is released next month. Would you believe I still haven’t read Delirium? I do have it – so that’s the first step, right? – and I plan on reading it this year as part of my TBR Pile Challenge list, so we’ll see what I think of it.
Happy reading, Lauren! Are we still on for starting Scarlet on Monday?
My StS post 🙂
I cannot wait for you to read Delirium. I cannot sing it enough praises, but I’m so biased because it’s my favorite series 😛
We are absolutely starting Scarlet on Monday! I’m soooo excited 😀
Adored Leaving Paradise, hope you like it. Received Insomnia for review as well, it sounds brilliant.
I’m about 1/4 the way through Leaving Paradise, and I do really like it so far! For some reason this appealed me more than the 200 books on my shelf, lol.
Nice haul! Raven killed me, so upset it’s all over 🙁
Oh gosh, me too Danielle!
My library is in the process of acquiring Requiem, and there’s already a waiting list. I have my fingers crossed that they add some more copies because I’m dying to read it, though I’m a bit nervous about how it’s going to end. I hope you enjoy all of your new eBooks!
Thanks Lee!
I hope you get Requiem soon… I’ll be keeping an eye out for your Review 🙂
at least with your ebooks you wont have to find a place to store them all 🙂 I am dying to read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith and am so behind on the curve there. Enjoy it, and your other new books!
That’s the only tiny blessing of the ebooks 😀 And I can semi hide them from BF, haha.
Sweet haul this week! I loved Shatter Me! Forgotten was so good and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is unforgettable. I can’t wait to read Insomnia! I hope you enjoy everything you got this week! Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

I haven’t read any of Cat Patrick’s books so far so I’m really looking forward to Forgotten!
Delirium is still on my shelf, unread. But this series has gotten so much love, I plan to read it soon. I hope you enjoy your ebooks. I have an Amazon giftcard I should use to pick up some sale reads!
Thanks for stopping by!
Gahh… Delirium = love for me lol. I hope you enjoy it when you pick it up 😀 There is some amazing sale reads lately, I hope you get some awesome ebooks !!
I LOVED Shatter Me and the sequel, Unravel Me! Seeing all these copies of Requiem in hauls reminds I really need to read Pandemonium soon, can’t wait to see what happens next in this series!
Happy reading! 🙂

I’ve heard so many good things about that series, I cannot wait to start Shatter Me! Thanks so much for stopping by Maria!
I still need to get my hands on a copy of Statistical Probability of Love. I hope you enjoy that one. It looks really fabulous along with all your other awesome books.
Happy reading! 🙂
Thanks Livvy! It looks really good so I can’t wait to get started.
I’ve read Shatter Me… it’s one of my favorite books. Very dystopian X-Men. And I just got Requiem the other day. I got it signed too!!!! SO psyched about that.
Happy reading!
My StS
I really can’t wait to pick up Shatter Me… I’ve heard awesome awesome things but then a blogger friend of mine said she HATED it, so I’m really interested to see where I’ll fall on that one. SQUEEEEEEEE… Signed Requiem… holy smokes, my dream. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Thanks for stopping in!
Requiem is SO good! I really liked it! I want to rip out the last page and frame it! lol
I cried for Raven too!!!
Thank you again so very much for your donation and spreading the word about our pup! You’re the sweetest!!! xo
Enjoy your new reads 🙂
OH Margie I feel the same way! It was so freakin perfect that last paragraph. Gosh…. Lauren Oliver is just so good with words <3 Raven devastated me... oh what a mess, lol.
Your very welcome(about your pup). She's a gorgeous little one and I wish her a speedy recovery 🙂
Thanks for stopping in Margie!!
Aw, I so want to read Shatter Me! I have a copy of Statistical laying around, but I’ll be reading this summer 🙂 Insomnia is really interesting, you might not be ble to put it down 🙂
Stacking the Shelves
I can’t wait to read Insomnia… I’ve been trying my best to read my review books in order because sometimes I get excited and just to one that’s not released till 5 months and my next week reviews get pushed aside :S It’s really tempting me though, lol.
Thanks so much for stopping in Kim!
REQUIEM! I’m reading that one right now, it’s fairly good so far, but I’m only a few chapters in. And I love Shatter Me 🙂 Enjoy your books!
I cannot wait to see what you think of Requiem! There are so many mixed reviews around 😛
Thanks for stopping in Nara!!
Awesome haul! I need to start on Delirium series asap!
Enjoy your books!
My haul
Thanks Ula! I hope you enjoy Delirium 😀
Ooh nice haul! I’m glad you enjoyed Requiem, it’s a pity you didn’t enjoy it as much as the first two books. I STILL haven’t read the Delirium trilogy, so I must soon 😛
I know what you mean about ebook sales, the Kindle Deals are the best in my eyes! I’ve gotten some amazing books on there for only $1.99!
Enjoy your new books!

I honestly expected to hate it based on the reviews so to come out with even 4 stars I was elated 🙂
The Kindle Deals are AMAZING! It seems silly to everyone that I’m buying loads of books, but if they are on my TBR and I’m going to buy it for 15 dollars more by the time I get to it… why not get it now? I have a million GBs of space on this tablet to fill 😛 lol
Thanks for stopping in Kyra!
I loved Forgotten! Such a great book. I still need to buy a pyshical copy of it!
Happy reading.
Nina@J’adore Happy Endings
Thanks Nina! I cannot wait to start on that one… I have heard awesome things about Cat Patrick’s books.
Nice haul! I recently caved and bought the Shatter Me series. Leaving Paradise is also at the top of my wishlist. I hope you enjoy it and all of your new books. 🙂
Oh, and you’ve got a new Linky follower. 😉
You got some of my favorites this week: Shatter Me, Statistical Probability, and Forgotten! I hope you enjoy them! I’m excited to read Insomnia—looks good and creepy!
Ahhh, Statistical Probability is SO good. Like, one of my favorite contemporaries ever. I reallyyyyy hope you love it.
