Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!
I fail at taking pictures this week.
Bought:
The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave #1) by Rick Yancey
Arclight (Arclight #1) by Josin L. McQuein
Invisibility by David Levithan & Andrea Cremer
I bought all three books from Standbooks.
Invisibility is not pictured because I mailed it out for a trade using YA Book Exchange before I remembered that I had not taken a picture of it. Oh well.
I can’t wait to read The 5th Wave, I’ve heard so many amazing things about it.
Borrowed:
Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin #2) by R.L. LaFevers
Unspoken (The Lynburn Legacy #1) by Sarah Rees Brennan
Before I read Dark Triumph, I have to read my copy of Grave Mercy first.
I’ve also already read Unspoken and never really liked it, but I’m planning to re-read it to see if I’ll like it better this time.
That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?
Invisibility’s already available???? I envy youuuuuuu! I wanna read that so bad, I almost pre-ordered it from TBD. David Levithan is my favorite author or one of my faves. I heard The 5th Wave is so great so happy reading! As for Arclight, I read polarizing reviews so I hope you like it. :D

The bookstore I go to sometimes releases books early Dianne! :D
Yeah I loved David Levithan’s Every Day, but didn’t like Andrea Cremer’s Nightshade series. I wonder how Invisibility would turn out…
I heard that The 5th Wave was great too! :D
I read the first chapter of Arclight so far and it’s…unique. I’ll see how it goes.

lol all your books this week are on my “Must-read” list! Great choices, starting 5th Wave this week and cannot wait!
Danielle recently posted…Weekly Haul #9
I can’t wait to start reading it either! -squeals-
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
You found The 5th Wave already??? Sweet. That is only my #1 most anticipated read this year, and I didn’t think it released until May 7th. Lucky you!
Looks like you got some great books this week. I hope you enjoy reading them all!! (Especially The 5th Wave.) ;)
My Stacking the Shelves
Yeah, it doesn’t come out until May 7. I’m so glad I’ll be able to read it early! (:
And thank you!
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
Great haul! Everyone seems to love The 5th Wave and I’m curious to hear your opinion! I really need to get Dark Mercy >.< I wish I had moved already so I could order print books again…
I liked Unspoken a lot but I didn't fall for it like I did for Sarah Rees Brennan's Demon's Lexicon books. But sometimes I think a re-read can really help make up your mind. I'm reading a book for review right now and we're not really clicking, which sucks because it was one of my most anticipated releases of the year :( I've been wondering whether maybe I'm just not in the right mood but I don't know…
Anyhow, enjoy your shiny new books, Kelly :)

I can’t wait to read The 5th Wave too and see if I agree with the hype! I have REALLY high hopes for this book.
And aww, if I was you, I’ll be DYING if I can’t buy any new books. Good luck on your house/apartment search! (:
What book isn’t clicking for you? o:
And yeah, hopefully when I re-read Unspoken, I’ll be in the right mood for it. -crosses fingers-
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
Yeah, not buying all the books I want to buy is SO hard >.< On the other hand, saving money is not a bad idea right now…
Thanks! I'm looking at 2 tomorrow & another one on Wednesday.
The book that took a long time to click with me was Chantress by Amy Butler Greenfield. But the shift I was hoping for happened a little after half of it and then it was worth the wait :)
Carmen B. recently posted…Book Blitz with Excerpt & Giveaway (Int): Flight, by Lindsay Leggett
Hmm, I’ve seen Chantress around a lot, but never really saw any reviews on it yet. Time to look them up!

I’ve been hearing amazing things about Arclight! I hope you like it. :) Same with Dark Triumph! I haven’t read that one yet but I hope to soon!
Ashley recently posted…Stacking the Shelves (48)
I hope I like both of them too Ashley! (:
Thanks for stopping by!
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
I’ve heard amazing things about The 5th Wave so I really hope you enjoy it. I’m really eager to read Unspoken so will have to get it soon. Happy reading! :)

Thank you Lucy! :D
I hope I enjoy reading The 5th Wave too and I can’t wait to see what you think of Unspoken!
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
Nice haul. I didn’t care for Grave Mercy all that much. Arclight looks so pretty. Nice haul of books. Come visit me as well.

Grace Fonseca recently posted…Stacking The Shelves #16
That’s what I thought about Grave Mercy when I read the first chapter and stopped, but I’m willing to give it a second chance.
The cover of Arclight is pretty, bumpy, and shiny! ;D
And I’ll definitely visit you Grace! (:
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
OHH I’m so ridiculously jealous of 5th Wave! I’m dying for that one!! I hope you enjoy Arclight more than I did, I was rather disappointed with it.
I meant to comment this yesterday and totally forgot (I swear, I have ADD)…but I found your blog through your twitter, which I found through twitter suggestions (thank you, twitter!). Not only am I glad I found you because of the GFC thing – I’m the crazy one from twitter yesterday, baha – but I absolutely LOVE your blog!! It’s so freaking adorable and clean, I could seriously stare at it for hours. I may or may not be stalking you from now on (that’s not creepy at aaaall….) ;D

I can’t wait to read The 5th Wave myself, I’ve heard so many good things about it!
I’ve only read the first chapter of Arclight so far, and I don’t know how I feel about it so far. Hopefully, it’ll be good though. -crosses fingers-
Yeah, I know who you are Jessi, I’ve been stalking your blog for awhile now! ;D
And thank you! :D I love your theme and layout too, the colors are so pretty, simple, and refreshing! (I love simple, but unique themes.)
And feel free to stalk me whenever you want, but remember, I’ve been stalking you first! :P

Yay, someone else didn’t like Unspoken! I’m not alone! Boy did that sound really bad, but its like everybody who read that book loved it, and i’m just like sitting in a corner, alone saying I didn’t like it.
I haven’t heard of The 5th Wave, but it looks great! Also the cover is pretty so there a bonus.

Yeah, I know what you mean Kimberly! Everyone was boasting about Unspoken and how good it was and I’m just sitting here like, um, am I missing something?
You’ve haven’t heard about The 5th Wave? Everyone has been talking about it and I can’t wait to see if it’s as good as they say Kimberly! :D
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
Great haul! Been wanting to read Invisibility too! Hope you enjoy all your reads :D

Re-reading a book you didn’t like, just to see if you will like it now?? Huh. I guess that though had never crossed my mind. Although, as I think about it, sometimes you’re just not in the right mood for a certain book, or worse, you’ve read the same type of book over and over again – all of which can affect how you like and rate a certain book. Interesting! I can’t wait to hear about how you like the book this time around. :)
Meagan C. recently posted…A Shade of Vampire {Review}: Bella Forrest
Yeah, I re-read CInder before and liked it a whole lot better than I did the first time around. I’m hoping that Unspoken could be the same. :D
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [29]
Yeah, Unspoken was definitely an interesting read. But I absolutely adore the cover! I hope you enjoy all you got :)
Here’s my STS!
Yeah, I love the cover of Unspoken too! Too bad they are planning on changing it for the paperback version. Such a shame. ):

Yay! Can’t wait to see what you think of them both! :D
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Darkfever – Karen Marie Moning
I didn’t know Invisibility was already out! I wanted to read it, so I might just get it. :)
Nancy @ Tumbling Books recently posted…Review: The Archived
Sadly, Invisibility isn’t out yet. ):
The bookstore I go to sometimes has some books that aren’t released yet on their shelves early.
Hopefully you’ll enjoy it, I’m not really a Andrea Cremer fan, so I’m staying away from it for awhile until I see more reviews of it. :D
Kelly recently posted…Book Review: Darkfever – Karen Marie Moning
I’ve heard a lot about The 5th Wave and Arclight this week. Must do some more searching….
Hope you enjoy all of your books!

Dark triumph <3 Once I get all my birthday presents, I'm going to get myself a copy! And I'm curious about the 5th wave, it sounds very good.
Happy reading!
Mel@thedailyprophecy recently posted…Showcase Sunday 28.
I sadly still have to read Grave Mercy, but I’ve heard Dark Triumph is also amazing!
I’ve heard so many things about The 5th Wave, mostly how amazing it is!
Thanks for stopping by Mel! (:
Kelly recently posted…Mini-Book Review: Crossing the Line – Katie McGarry
I really can’t wait to see what you think of The 5th Wave and Arclight. I’ve heard such good things about both of them! And I really want to pick up Grave Mercy soon. It looks really good. Enjoy :)
Judith recently posted…Review: Also Known As
Yeah, I’ve also heard awesome things about them both, especially The 5th Wave!
I usually don’t read historical fiction, but I’ve heard so many great things about Grave Mercy that I’m willing to give the book a try! (:
