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 LOVE the books I got this week. ;D
Bought:
Elegy (Watersong #4) by Amanda Hocking
The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
Star Cursed (The Cahill Witch Chronicles #2) by Jessica Spotswood
Awaken (Abandon Trilogy #3) by Meg Cabot
Rush (The Game #1) by Eve Silver
Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms #1) by Morgan Rhodes & Michelle Rowen
As you can see, I got so many great books this week! :D
I got both Elegy and Star Cursed from Strandbooks for 50% off.
I immediately bought The Distance Between Us the day after it was released.
As for Awaken, Rush, and Falling Kingdoms, my friend bought them three for me. :D
In My Mailbox:
Dirty Little Secret by Jennifer Echols
I won Dirty Little Secret from Goodreads. You should have seen my face when I saw that I’ve won an ARC – I was legit screaming in happiness. Hopefully I’ll love Dirty Little Secret almost as much as I loved Going Too Far.
For Review:
A Tale of Two Centuries (My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century #2) by Rachel Harris
Even though I’ve never read the first book in the series, hopefully I’ll get everything that’s going on!
That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?
Looks like you’ve got a great selection of books. I really want to read The Distance Between Us. Happy Reading :-)

I can’t wait to start The Distance Between Us either! If only I can snap out of my weird book slump…
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Pretty awesome that you won an ARC, because I got one this week as well (my first hardcopy one!) PARTY! (It’s not in my StS though, it’ll be in my next one :D) I’m really looking forward to The Distance Between Us, because Pivot Point was amazing. Hope you enjoy it :) Happy reading!
Nara recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [10]
Hmm…I just realised that comment made it sound like my ARC was of The Distance Between Us. It wasn’t haha. I’m just looking forward to The Distance Between Us because I have a copy of it and haven’t started reading it yet :)
Nara recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [10]
Ohh, I can’t wait to see this mysterious ARC. You’ve got me so curious. ;D
And ha ha ha, yeah, I thought you meant that at first. ;D
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Wow! I love your haul Kelly! I haven’t even read the Watersong series yet, but it is in my TBR. :D
Jules recently posted…Idle Chat: Where I read, When I read, How I read
I think that the Watersong series is plain okay, but the covers are GORGEOUS.
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Wow! You got some really cool books. Rush and A Tale of Two Centuries sound especially cool. Nice haul and happy reading :)
Sandy recently posted…Stacking the Shelves #6
I can’t wait to read them both when I snap out of my weird book slump! :D
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Hope you enjoy all of your books! I really want to read Rush, and Dirty Little Secret :P

Charlie recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [21] & The Sunday Post [18]
I can’t wait to them both! Hopefully they’re as good as they look! :D
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
The Distance Between Us is an awesome, awesome book! A Tale of Two Centuries, woot. Also I really enjoyed Dirty Little Secret.
I’ve yet to read Abandon. *starts looking for the book* How’s the series?
Sana @ artsy musings of a bibliophile recently posted…Review: The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
I’m glad to hear that all three of them are great! :D
The Abandon series is okay, not bad but not good either. However, the covers are GORGEOUS and that’s honestly all I want. I can just stare at the covers all day. :P
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
You got an amazing haul this week. Falling Kingdoms was one of my favorite books from last year. I hope you love the book as much as I did. I’m anxiously awaiting to get the sequel.

Grace Fonseca recently posted…Stacking The Shelves #27-I Need to Go on a Ban
Yeah, I’ve heard that you LOVE Falling Kingdoms from twitter. :P
And yeah, the cover of the sequel is GORGEOUS. I want it now!
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Kelly! I also got The Distance Between Us this week and I just about had to drop everything to read it. But I stopped myself because meh, TBR pile and reading schedule. I’ve read Dirty Little Secrets for a tour (review on Monday, heh). Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it more than I did. Looking forward to what you think of it. Happy reading! <3
Dianne recently posted…{Blog Tour} Review: The Rules by Stacey Kade
Yeah, the TBR pile and reading schedules ruin EVERYTHING. ):
Oh no, I take it as you didn’t enjoy reading Dirty Little Secrets? Aww, that sucks, especially since I love Going Too Far and had hoped that it would be like Going Too Far.
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Great haul! I have Falling Kingdoms but I haven’t read it yet. Have fun reading!
Pam recently posted…Stacking the Shelves
Ohh, I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Falling Kingdoms! I’ve had a borrowed copy for awhile now too. :P
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Yay for The Distance Between Us! I really have to get that one soon myself ^^
Dirty Little Secret is great! I read it earlier this week and I want to get some of Jennifer Echols’ other books now.
And I know I’ve said it before but I need to set foot into Strandbooks if I ever make it to NYC (probably next summer)!!
Awesome haul, enjoy reading them Kelly!
Carmen B. recently posted…Stacking the Shelves: assassins coldly faking it with ruthlessness
Read Jennifer Echols’ Going Too Far! It was one of the first young adult books I’ve read and it is SO. DAMN. GOOD. It’s still one of my top favorites, even after nearly a full year of blogging. :D
Ohh, wait until you see he magic of Strandbooks! You won’t want to leave. ;D
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
I’m currently reading A Tale of Two Centuries and I’m having a blast! You should totally read the first book in the series because it’s a lot of fun. I didn’t enjoy Dirty Little Secret very much, so I hope you like it!
Enjoy your haul!
Nick @ Nick’s Book Blog recently posted…Book Haul & Weekly Recap #28
I’ll read the first book in the series when I have time hopefully. My library’s copy of it is so dirty that I don’t want to borrow it. ):
Aww. It sucks to hear that you didn’t enjoy Dirty Little Secret very much.
Thanks! :D
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Dirty Little Secret sounds like fun, I’d love to read that. And I was lucky enough to meet Jessica Spotswood & Michelle Rowan earlier this year, and both their books sound fab, so I hope you enjoy reading all these!
You can check out my StS post here: The Book Bundle.

I could have met Jessica Spotswood and Michelle Rowan this year too, but I was too lazy to go to that book signing because I was busy earlier that day. I’m regretting not attending. =3=
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
I am so jealous with you winning an ARC. For the life of me, I haven’t even won a single book giveaway. Luck. Luck. Luck. Good for your, Kelly.
Charlotte recently posted…Stacking the Shelves
I’ve won some giveaways before, but I’m extremely happy to win Dirty Little Secret. I just LOVE Jennifer Echols’ Going Too Far.
Don’t worry Charlotte, your time will come. (:
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Congrats! Winning a Goodreads giveaway is probably the hardest thing to do haha so really happy for you :) Woo hoo for The Distance Between Us! Hope you like it!
Charlotte @ Gypsy Reviews recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Read-a-thon Day 6 – Hound Dog
Thank you Charlotte! I’m so happy! :D
I hope I like it too! -crosses fingers-
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
I recently read Falling Kingdoms and while I liked it, I just really wished it had been a stand alone novel or that more had happened in the book. I can’t wait for the second one to come out in Dec.
Stacy Renee recently posted…Stacking The Shelves #10
Aww, I understand that feeling Stacy. At least you still kind of liked it. :l
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
I got The Distance Between Us too. I’ve already read it, and it is adorable and perfect for summer. I hope you like it and all your other goodies. Happy reading :)
Quinn @ Quinn’s Book Nook recently posted…Book Haul #9
Yay, I’m glad to hear that you liked The Distance Between Us Quinn! I’ve heard nothing but good things about it so far, so I’m very happy about that. :D
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Great haul this week Kelly! I didn’t know The Distance Between Us Released this week. I have to go to the book store soon.
Congrats one winning the ARC for Dirty Little Secret!!! I can’t wait for that one to release. And I think everybody who like Jennifer Echols have been waiting for her to write a book thats on the same level as Going to Far. And I also really hope this one will be the one.
Kimberly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves (47)
Thanks Kimberly! :D
Yep, The Distance Between Us released this week.
Thank you! :D
I really hope that Dirty Little Secret will be like that too, but so far, many people said that they didn’t really like Dirty Little Secret. ):
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Sweet haul! I really loved Falling Kingdoms. Enjoy all that you got this week. Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

I really want to read “Rush” but my library system put in the record and then haven’t actually purchased the book (sigh). I hope I’ll get it soon. Happy reading.
Tsuki’s STS
My library system doesn’t even have Rush in the library system yet. Why are they so slow in getting books? D:
I hope you’ll get it soon too! (:
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Falling Kingdoms sounds (and looks) great! Happy reading :D

Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
Just wanted to let you know that this is the 1st time that I visited your blog and it looks awesome! :D So I went to B&N like an hour ago and bought Rush :) Hopefully it’s good with lots of suspense since it’s a “game”. Starcursed looks amazing! Will probably read it in the future. Happy reading.

Excellent books! I need to purchase The Distance Between Us. It looks like a fabulous read. I get so excited when I win a book from Goodreads. It’s so rare to.
Cee recently posted…REVIEW | The Assassin and the Desert (Throne of Glass #0.2) by Sarah J. Maas
I’ve heard nothing but good things about The Distance Between Us, so hopefully we both won’t regret buying/going to buy it. ;D
I know! I was jumping up and down in happiness, especially since I won a book written by one of my favorite authors.
Kelly recently posted…Summer Lovin’ Readathon: Day 7 – Alma Mater
AHHH!!! I’m so jealous of The Distance Between Us!! I’ve read Pivot Point by the same author, and I loved it! It has been on my TBR for a long long time already! I’ve read Dirty Little Secret. I liked it, but I didn’t love it.

You should get it Kim – The Distance Between Us released already; thank goodness.

I thought The Distance Between Us was just plain okay. It wasn’t as good as other people lead me to expect. :l
