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 😀 I am so happy it’s finally here. The week is always tough after a long weekend and I’m ready to relax… and read. I have a ton of reading to do this weekend :S The most exciting thing that happened to me(laugh… laugh :P) is I finally got a library card!! There is no reason other than pure laziness why i didn’t get one before. Toronto has an amazing library system and a ton of great books, audio books, e books… it’s embarrassing that I didn’t get one before now. I’m buying way too many books lately and the worst part about it is that I feel more stress to love the book when I purchase it. So strange I know. Also, now that I’ve been blogging I find I’m a bit more picky and not loving as many books as I did before so I’ll be utilizing the library a lot and then purchasing the ones I loved 😀 How was everyone’s week???
None this week !!!
None this week!!!

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
What the Spell by Brittany Geragotelis
What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton
The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan
I’m really getting better the egalley requests. I only got one this week and it’s not out till the Fall so it’s perfect. It sounds a bit scary so that will be a fun read. I also only got one other review book which is for a tour I’ll be participating in, Fall from Love. I can’t wait to get started on that!! I never thought I would say it but I am loving contemporary, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon!!
I got some great books from the library. Beauty Queens which has been on my TBR for AGES, What the Spell which is the first book in a series to a review book I have, What Happens Next which I am reading NOW(I couldn’t wait to crack that one open) and The Beautiful and the Cursed. I am probably the most excited about The Beautiful and the Cursed because I want to read it sooo badly, and the cover is stunning but I didn’t want to spend $20 on a book I may not like; its historical fiction and me and it do not get along very well 😛
My library trip was so successful and I’ve already placed a ton of books on hold :S … And now a new book addiction will take place, lol.

I’ve been really wanting to read Beauty Queens. It sounds like such a fun take on an idea, and I think it’s one I love. I hope it’s one you enjoy, so much that you need to buy a copy as well.
Thanks Shoshanah 😀 I’ve heard a ton of great things about it so I hope I love it too !!
Nice haul!

Thanks Bieke!
Great haul! I’ve been wanting to read Beauty Queens for a while too, but I haven’t gotten the chance to do so yet. Same goes for The Beautiful and the Cursed. Enjoy your books! 🙂

Thanks Emz! I’m excited to start Beauty Queens… I probably will tomorrow 😛
I really need to check out Beauty Queens. I’ve heard that the audiobook for it is amazing, but I’m too ADHD for most audiobooks. Still, I think I’m going to give it a try to see if I can stay focused enough to actually listen. I also really want to read The Beautiful and the Cursed! And YAY for library cards! That makes my librarian heart happy. <3
Happy reading, Lauren!
Everyone is telling me the same thing Merin! I normally do better with books I’ve already read on audiobook but today I downloaded Anna and the French Kiss and I’m doing well 😛 Not getting so distracted haha. Maybe it’s easier for contemporary. I was so envious of your library hauls I had to get one 😛
Oooo The Beautiful and the Cursed looks and sounds amazing, I really hope you like it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Chantelle 🙂 It’s just so stunning… I hope I love it so I can buy a copy for my shelves lol.
