Stacking the Shelves [33]

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!

Tons of books from my mailbox this week!

Bought:
The Elite (The Selection #2) by Kiera Cass
Perfect Escape by Jennifer Brown

IMG_0035I bought both The Elite and Perfect Escape from Strandbooks for 50% off.

Borrowed:
Shattered Souls (Souls #1) by Mary Lindsey
How I Lost You by Janet Gurtler

IMG_0033I’m excited for How I Lost You. (I’m in love with that shade of orange! :D) As for Shattered Souls, I’m planning on giving it a second chance and re-reading it.

In My Mailbox:
School Spirits (School Spirits #1) by Rachel Hawkins
Endlessly (Paranormalcy #3) by Kiersten White
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

IMG_0030
I was lucky enough to win a copy of School Spirits from Jess @ The Reading Nook Reviews. Thank you so much Jess! :D<3 As for Endlessly, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, and Forbidden, I got them all from trade using YA Book Exchange.

That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?

      I’m sorry for making you jealous. ):
      I won’t have time to read it until finals are over, so maybe we can read it together at the same time. :D

      And isn’t the cover of Shattered Souls stunning? I remember disliking it a long time ago, but the cover convinced me to give it another try. :P

    Awesome week, Kelly! I wish I could participate in YA book exchange or ARCycling and the like – curse shipping costs! I always thought Shattered Souls looked really interesting but never actually read it. Now I’m curious about what problems you had with it.
    I’d love to read School Spirits! I read Spell Bound a week ago and really liked Izzy.
    I hope you’ll enjoy them all, and thanks for stopping by! I’m a bit late responding because I was up in the alps over the weekend for a family thing and didn’t have much time to be online.

      Yeah, I hate shipping costs! I’ll love to mail out books to fellow book bloggers, but they’re all in different places and USPS loves to rob money out of us. ):
      I just remembered that the pacing of Shattered Souls was awful and it was soo boring. And something about a clingy jerk boyfriend that the girl doesn’t want to leave?
      And it’s okay! ;D
