Stacking the Shelves (4)


Stacking the Shelves is a meme by Tynga's Reviews to share the books you've recently acquired.

It's been a month since my last Stacking the Shelves post because I went for 3 weeks with no new books. Crazy! This week I got a couple of books for review. I like having my rate of incoming books slow down a bit so I can catch up on the almost entire bookcase of unread books I have at home. These two sound great though.



For Review:
Big Fat Disaster by Beth Fehlbaum
Thanks to Merit Press!

The Tropic of Serpents by Marie Brennan
Thanks to Tor!

Stacking The Shelves (5)


Stacking the Shelves is a meme by Tynga's Reviews to share the books you've recently acquired.

Over the past two weeks, I'm completely avoided Netgalley and requesting review books. I did get one surprise book for review, but I've been working at chipping away at my massive pile of review books rather than requesting anything new. 

For Review:

Rex Regis by L. E. Modesitt Jr. - Thanks to Tor for this surprise. I think this is book 8 in this series and I haven't had a chance to read the previous books, but hopefully soon!. 

Bought: 


Cress by Marissa Meyer - I finally got around to getting a finished copy. So good! Review.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas

Stacking the Shelves (3)

Stacking the Shelves is a meme by Tynga's Reviews to share the books you've recently acquired.

Last weekend was the Edmonton Book Bloggers Holiday meetup. While I don't live in Edmonton currently, I made the 3 hour drive to visit my fellow bloggers. I even got to meet two of the newer members, Mandy from Forever Young Adult and Tanya (whose blog I can't find suddenly. Tanya, if you read this, please comment with your blog link and I will come visit you).

We did our secret santa, which is always a blast. Tanya totally spoiled me. Ambur from Burning Impossibly Bright also spoiled me! Fellow bloggers Tammy, Ambur, Cass and Aylee and I also made some baby quilts from the new (or very soon to be) moms in the group.


Gifted:



The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong
The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong
The Reckoning by Kelley Armstrong
Devonian Garden bookmark - doesn't the one flower look like a tropical fish!
HUGE thanks to Tanya for gifting me this entire trilogy. It was nice to meet you as well!



Racing Savannah by Miranda Kenneally
Thanks so much Ambur! I was so excited to read this! I'm a sucker for anything about horses and this series comes so highly recommended.


Review:


Unaccompanied Minor by Hollis Gillespie
No Surrender Soldier by Christine Kohler
Thanks to Merit Press!

That's all for me this week! I can't wait to see what everyone else got!
