Stacking the Shelves (10)

Stacking the Shelves is a new weekly meme hosted by Tynga of Tynga's Reviews. It's a weekly post where book bloggers showcase the books they received throughout the week.

I was good this week and only bought one book because I just couldn't pass up getting double the discount at Chapters thanks to Canada winning a medal. But then last Sunday I met up with all the lovely Ottawa bloggers and we traded/borrowed books. And somehow I always seem to leave with more books than I arrived with...mystery, right? But anyways, here's what I got this week.

Review:

- Rift by Andrea Cremer - While I may not have been completely happy with how things ended in Bloodrose, I've been excited to read Rift ever since I first heard about it. I've heard it's really good so I'm definitely looking forward to reading it.

Thank you to Penguin Canada for sending me a gorgeous finished copy for review.

Gifted/Borrowed:

- Ten by Gretchen McNeil - I'm really excited to be able to read this book. I've heard this book is delightfully creepy and that I shouldn't read it before bed. But that's still probably what I'll do since I like torturing myself sometimes.

- The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater - I was so happy when I found out I was going to be able to borrow this one. I'm really excited to read it and I've heard plenty of good things. Expect to hear my thoughts soon!

Thank you to Katie from Bookishly Yours for letting me borrow her ARCs of Ten and The Raven Boys.

- Witch Eyes by Scott Tracey - I'm not exactly sure who I ended up getting this one from, but I've heard plenty of really great things about this witch story so I'm looking forward to reading this one.

- Fathomless by Jackson Pearce - This is where I admit that I still haven't read Sisters Red and Sweetly but now that I have all three books in this series I can read them all in a row. Plus, I'm all for a Little Mermaid retelling.

- Rift by Andrea Cremer - I got this one before I got the finished copy...so yeah.

Thank you to Katherine from The Lady Critic's Library for passing along her copies of Fathomless and Rift.

Purchased:

- Endlessly by Kiersten White - I still haven't read Supernaturally, but now that I have Endless I have a reason to read it so I can read them all in a row. At any rate, I'm excited to see how this fun trilogy ends.

So that's all for me this week. Lookout for a giveaway of Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry sometime this week on the blog. And as usual, leave me a comment and let me know what you got!

Stacking the Shelves (6)

Stacking the Shelves is a new weekly meme hosted by Tynga of Tynga's Reviews. It's a weekly post where book bloggers share and showcase the books they received throughout the week.

So it's been a while since I've done a Stacking the Shelves post but I'm finally back and I have lots of books to share. This week I got back after having spent a month and half traveling so I had a fair amount of books waiting for me and then more showed up during the course of the week. And of course after having been away for so long I just had to go to the bookstore and that of course resulted in even more books. So without further ado, here are the books.

Review

- Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink by Stephanie Kate Strohm - I haven't really heard much about this one, but it's been on my radar for a while since it sounds like a really fun and light read. It looks like it would make the perfect read for a summer day.

- Never Enough by Denise Jaden - I read this one this week and it was a really good read. Denise Jaden really knows how to tackle tougher issues and do it in a powerful way. Expect a review, an interview with the author and maybe even a giveaway for this coming this week.

- The Dead I Know by Scot Gardner (x2) - I'm participating in the blog tour for this one in August but the book itself looks really interesting and I've been told it's a great read so I can't wait to read it.

- Winter White by Jen Calonita - I absolutely loved Belles, the first in this series, when I read it so I can't wait to see what happens next.

- Lucky Fools by Coert Voorhees - From the summary, this sounds like a really funny book but maybe with more serious undertones and I love those stories. 

- Enchanted by Alethea Kontis - I've seen really great reviews for this one and if I'm not mistaken, it's a fairy tale retelling so I'm really excited to read it.

- Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls by Mary Downing Hahn - This is definitely a more serious story but I love the sound of it. Hopefully I'll be able to read it soon.

- Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson - I may not be James Patterson's biggest fan, but I really liked the sound of this book so I'm happy to have a copy fore review.

Big thanks so Thomas Allen, HBG Canada, Penguin Canada and Simon & Schuster Canada for all of these great books!

Purchased:

- Dark Frost by Jennifer Estep - Already read this one and it was awesome. If you liked the first two books in this series you are going to love this one.

- Storm by Brigid Kemmerer - I started reading this one today and so far it's good, can't wait to see where the story goes.

- Struck by Jennifer Bosworth - I've read a few pages of this one and it looked pretty good. I can't wait to get more into it since it's supposed to be awesome.

- Taken by Storm by Jennifer Lynn Barnes - SO EXCITED to have this one. I love this story and I can't wait to see how it all ends.

- Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson - This book had me at Peter Pan. And then I found out it was amazing so I was powerless against it.

- Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz - I still have to start this series, but the hardcover was on sale at Chapters so I had to buy since I have all the ones that come before it in the series.

So those are all the books I got. Next week definitely shouldn't be as intense since I won't be showing over a month's worth of books. Also today is my 2 year blogoversary but since things have been a little crazy I haven't had time to do anything for it, but keep and eye out for some celebrations this week.
