Stacking the Shelves [30]

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 got some awesome books this week! (:

The Program (Program #1) by Suzanne Young
Just One Day (Just One Day #1) by Gayle Forman
The Beautiful and the Cursed (The Dispossessed #1) by Page Morgan

IMG_1044I love all these books I got this week! :D
I got a signed copy of Unbreakable from Books of Wonder, The Program and The Beautiful and the Cursed for 50% off from Strandbooks, and Just One Day from Barnes and Noble.

Borrowed:
The Sweetest Dark (The Sweetest Dark #1) by Shana Abe
The Elite (The Selection #2) by Kiera Cass

IMG_1048The Sweetest Dark and The Elite both have such gorgeous covers!

In My Mailbox:

I Hunt Killers (Jasper Dent #1) by Barry Lyga
Legend (Legend #1) by Marie Lu

      So far, The Elite is disappointing; nothing is happening besides America thinking I LIKE MAXON, then NO ASPEN, then I LIKE MAXON again. :l

    Awesome haul! I’ve had a copy of Just One Day for a while now but still haven’t gotten around to reading it. Legend was really good- I hope you enjoy it, along with the rest of your books!

    I’m hoping to go to Larchmont, NY soon because Page Morgan will be on 5/17 at Anderson Bookstore. Hoping RL will not get in the way. Page Morgan’s book has a beautiful cover.

      The Beautiful and the Cursed is pretty good so far, something I was definitely not expecting.

    I got The Beautiful and the Cursed about a month ago – need to read that! I love the cover of it :D

    I tried to read I Hunt Killers – it was sort of boring in the beginning, which is probably why I couldn’t finish. I usually finish books I start, but this one… nahhh. Anyway. Thanks for visiting my blog!

      Really? I absolutely loved I Hunt Killers, but it’s probably because it’s my type of book. Too bad you didn’t like it much.

    You got some good books this week!. The Beautiful and the Cursed has one of the prettiest cover ever. Just look at the colors.
    I heard Legend pretty good, but I’ve never read it for myself. So, I can’t say that for certain.
    Hope you like all of your books :D

    You’ve got some great ones Kelly! I want to read The Beautiful and the Cursed, as well as The Program! I read Legend awhile ago, so I need to go back and re-read it soon so I can read Prodigy. I just finished the second Sweetest Dark book, so I hope you enjoy the first!!

      Are you rereading Legend just so you can remember what had happened in the book before you start Prodigy? If you are, you don’t have to reread Legend, just use Recaptains. They recapped Legend. (:

    Wow Kelly, you got so many GREAT books this week! I thought The Beautiful and the Cursed wasn’t even out yet and that book store with the discount you keep mentioning really needs to open shop in my city o.O
    I really loved Just One Day and went on a Gayle Forman spree after reading it. I hope you’ll enjoy it too :)
    And I still owe a review for The Sweetest Dark. It’s a bit slow at times but the writing is very beautiful, in my opinion.
    I really want I Hunt Killers. I really want a lot of things :P
    Awesome that we both got Legend. To be honest I haven’t read all that many dystopians, I used to resist the hype for a long time. So I think it might seem more special to me than to someone who’s read loads of them.
    Happy reading, and thanks for stopping by yesterday :)

      Yeah, the bookstore with the discount is where I also get books that aren’t released yet for 50% off. If you ever come to NYC, I’ll love to show you around Carmen! (:
      You should definitely get I Hunt Killers! It’s my favorite horror book ever. It’s unique and gripping all at once.
      I’ve read tons of dystopians, and I sadly don’t have a favorite one. :l
      None of them really stands out from the rest.
