Stacking the Shelves [54]

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 lucky this week. :D<3 Bought:
Emerald Green (Ruby Red Trilogy #3) by Kerstin Gier
Duke of Midnight (Maiden Lane #6) by Elizabeth Hoyt
Tandem (Many-Worlds Trilogy #1) by Anna Jarzab
The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray
Across A Star-Swept Sea (For Darkness Shows the Stars #2) by Diana Peterfreund

I was planning on buying all these books, except for The Diviners, until Cee at The Novel Hermit pretty much implied that I was crazy for not reading her books, especially since Libba Bray was signing at an event I was planning on going to. :P

Traded/Won:
More Than This by Patrick Ness
How To Love by Katie Cotugno
Unhinged (Splintered #2) by A.G. Howard
Her Dark Curiosity (The Madman’s Daughter #2) by Megan Shepherd
Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy
Avalon by Mindee Arnett
Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

I went to Epic YA Trivia Night and happened to be a lucky winner of a raffle. It was the first time I ever won a raffle of any kind and it’s just perfect that the first raffle I won is for books: More Than This, Unhinged, Her Dark Curiosity, Side Effects May Vary, Avalon, and Better Off Friends.
As for how I got How To Love, I traded with Gillian from Writer of Wrongs. Thanks for the trade Gillian! :D

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

    I also got Avalon this week, but in eARC format. How lucky! I never win raffles. Hopefully, when I win for the first time, my prize is books too! Great haul, Kelly. Happy reading!

    So many pretty books! I must admit, I’m seeing that RUBY RED trilogy everywhere at the moment and I’m intrigued. I’m interested to see what you think.

    Boy you got a lot of books this week. I really didn’t care for Tandem at all. Great stack of books this week that you got. I hope you enjoy your new books. They look awesome. Winning Epic Reads giveaways is awesome. Come visit me as well.

      Ha ha, I’m a bit sad though because I don’t plan on reading Unhinged. I mean, yeah, I liked Splintered well enough, but I wasn’t planning on continuing with the series. :l

      The summary of Avalon talks about a spaceship, so maybe it’s a weirdo spaceship (although I highly doubt it)? :P

    YEEESSSSSSS. EXCELLENT HAUL. (And I mean that 100x more because SHOUT OUTTTTTT.) I can’t wait until Across A Star-Swept Sea gets into my hands. Diana Peterfreund owns my heart. And I hope you enjoy The Diviners. It may be a little hard to get into the rhythm of the book, but it has all my favorite things in it.

    SO JEALOUS YOU WON A RAFFLE. Patrick Ness is fucking awesome, and I sincerely hope that More Than This rocks your world! ;D

      I’ve never read For Darkness Shows the Stars or Across A Star-Swept Sea so I can’t really say anything about that. :P
      I think I might like The Diviners because hello, MURDER. Consider me sold. (Yes, I’m a scary person. :P)
      Ha ha, I’m putting down More Than This for awhile because it isn’t really holding my attention.

    Omg you have Unhinged o.O!!! I’m still hoping to get super-lucky and win it somehow, because I was rejected on Netgalley :(
    I’ve heard great things about the Diviners, and I’ve got an eARC of Avalon that I hope to get to in December or so :)
    Lucky you for getting to go to all those awesome author-events, by the way ;)

      Aww, NetGalley rejection sucks, especially when you don’t know why they rejected you. ):
      I can’t wait to read them all! Hopefully I’ll like them. -crosses fingers-
      Ha ha, I wish author events were available worldwide. It’s just so unfair to people who live in places besides the US. :l
