Stacking the Shelves [50]

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 a huge surprise this week. On another note, this is the 50th Stacking the Shelves post I’ve done! :D

Bought:
Origin (Lux #4) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Antigoddess (Goddess War #1) by Kendare Blake
Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
Spark (Elemental #2) by Brigid Kemmerer

antigoddess spark

 
I ordered a copy of Origin a long time ago and it finally arrived. Thank goodness, I was getting worried.
I bought both Antigoddess and Rose Under Fire from Amazon, which were both on sale for 40% off.
As for Spark, I bought it from the Barnes & Noble bargain bin for $4. I mean, I thought Storm was okay but not that good, so why not give Spark a chance?

In My Mailbox:
Twinmaker by Sean Williams
Hideous Love by Stephanie Hemphill
Deception (Defiance #2) by C.J. Redwine
The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White
A Radiant Sky (A Beautiful Dark #3) by Jocelyn Davis
3:59 by Gretchen McNeil

twinmaker
Thank you so much HarperCollins!

 
HarperCollins surprised me with 6 ARCs this week! I literally could not believe my eyes when I saw it on my doorstep because I never requested anything from them. Thank you so much HarperCollins! <3 That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?

    All very popular books you bought that I really need in my life as well! Everyone’s been getting heaps of ARCs from HarperCollns. You lucky Americans! I hope you enjoy them all and I can’t wait to see your reviews!

    Those books are perfect. And, omg? Is that Antigoddess? I’ve been dying to read and get my hands on it since her other series, Anna Dressed in Blood, was just amazing! Can’t wait to read about what you think of those books! :-)

    Oh yay Rose under fire! I really can’t wait until I can read it — I adored CNV! Also, yay on Origin! Did you get it ordered personalized? Because I did and I hadn’t gotten it yet… and then I had to go back to Vegas and my mom went out of time and put a hold on the mail. Basically, Daemon is stuck in a post office most likely (I hope he’s not lost!) And awesome about getting so many ARCs! =)

      I didn’t order it personalized, just signed.
      And aww, I understand your feeling! I was literally stalking the mailbox everyday until the book came. I’m a worrier. ;D
      Pshh, Daemon would most likely be having the time of his life flirting with the ladies stopping by the post office. (;
