Stacking the Shelves [63]

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’m so proud of myself! My not-really book ban is working for me (and I resisted buying like 3 more books this week). ;D<3 Bought:
Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi

unravelme

 
I only bought one book this week! Woohoo! To make things even better, Unravel Me was $5 at the Strand.

 
In My Mailbox:
Half Bad (Half Life Trilogy #1) by Sally Green
The Eye of Minds (The Mortality Doctrine #1) by James Dashner

Thank you so much Penguin Teen!

 
I received my first ever ARC from Penguin last week – Half Bad (aka the book everyone is excited about)! I didn’t request it, but I love it anyway!
As for The Eye of Minds, Jess from The Reading Nook Reviews had been meaning to send me this ARC for weeks, but each time the USPS refused to. It’s nice that I finally received it!
I also received an ARC of Entice as a Christmas gift from Lili at Lili’s Relections. Thank you Lili! <3   Won:
Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer
Altered (Crewel World #2) by Gennifer Albin

I won an ARC of Cress! <3<3<3<3 To people who are interested, I won it from the #GiftofCinder event. I also won a signed copy of Altered.
Man, I am so lucky with Macmillan giveaways this week.

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

    OMG! I am so desperate to get an ARC for Cress. I tried e-mailing the Publisher but sure if I am going to get approved or not since they haven’t replied yet. And I also request Half-bad from NG but doubtful if Penguin would approve me since they’re really have high standards when it comes to blogging stats.

    Happy reading and advance Merry Christmas!

    So jealous that you got an ARC of Cress!!! I haven’t heard of any of the other books aside from Unravel Me but their covers are pretty. Congrats on getting your first ever ARC from Penguin. I have yet to get physical arcs (mostly because I’m scared to ask lol) but it’s always fun to get books in the mail. I hope you enjoy your books! :)

    What a great haul! I love James Dashner but have yet to read Eye of Minds. Entice was such a good book as was Unravel Me – hope you like them too :) Both those series are excellent! Here’s ours if you’d like to take a look: BiblioJunkies Happy Reading! ~ Bel
