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!
This week, I bought WAY too much books (oops). I’m not counting these towards my not-really book ban because I used my textbook money to buy them (even though I’m not supposed to).
Bought:
Delirium (Delirium #1) by Lauren Oliver
Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott
Winger (Winger #1) by Andrew Smith
Stolen: A Letter to My Captor by Lucy Christopher
Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky #3) by Veronica Rossi
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
Scarlet (Scarlet #1) by A.C. Gaughen
The Bone Season (The Bone Seaon #1) by Samantha Shannon
Don’t glare at me for buying all these books! Please, don’t glare at me!
Traded:
Vortex (Tempest #2) by Julie Cross
I traded Uninvited for a paperback book of Vortex. Thank you Crystal for the trade! :D
That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?
I’ve been looking forward to Cruel Beauty. Enjoy your reads! :)

I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS EXCUSE. IT IS STILL CHEATING.
*SIDEEYING YOU*
(But yay for Winger! Once I get over my YA reading slump, I plan on getting back to Winger.)

Looks like you’ve got some great reading ahead of you there! Really need to read Vortex this year! Happy Reading!

Hehe…I bought too many books this week, too. I’m not on a ban, but I should be! :P Thinking I need to add a copy of Scarlet to my collection, though…I love that series. Have you read all of these or are they all new to you? Regardless, happy reading! :D

LOL. Bans don’t work. The Bone Season is terrific and I loved it. Scarlett is the book that I still need to read. Come visit me as well.

You sneaky you, buying books during a book ban.
For a second I thought that Perfect You was Perfect Ruin. Ha ha.
I also got AC Gaughen’s Scarlet! So excited to read it. =D
I haven’t read Delirium series either but I do plan to sometime this year. I loved that cover edition more than the current ones.
Yay for The Bone Season. I’m also hoping to get to it soon.
Happy reading, Kelly!

ahhh, I need to read Winger. I have heard nothing but amazing things about it! Even if the cover kind of grosses me out haha

Great book haul! I so wanted to go and buy a huge stack of books. Thinking that might be next week for me :-) And so excited about you reading The Bone Season. I’ve still not read Winger though I’ve heard great things. I hope you enjoy them all

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Stolen, and Into the Still Blue, Cruel Beauty, The Bone Season, and Delirium have gotten raving reviews. Totally not glaring at you for buying those books because they’re really awesome choices :) Happy reading, Kelly! <33

Cruel beauty & Scarlet *jumps up and down* I recently devoured Cruel beauty and was stunned by the combination of fairytales & mythology. Scarlet is a book that deserves more attention! It’s a great book, so happy reading :D

Wooo, lots of books! Where do I even begin?! Let’s see… I loved Cruel Beauty and Into the Still Blue! And I really did not like Lauren Oliver’s Delirium series, but to each their own, right? I have an ARC of The Bone Season but I haven’t read it yet. Maybe someday… Anyway. I hope you love all of those not-really book ban books :D
Have a fabulous weekend!
Check out my STS post!

Nice haul.
I can recommend Scarlet after reading it on holiday around 18 months ago. I’ve yet to buy Vortex, but I’ve still to read Tempest, so I’m not rushing to buy it yet.
Enjoy your reads and please feel free to check out my haul post at http://thewanderingbookworm.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/book-haul-1-february-2014/

No one could ever glare at you for buying Scarlet, Stolen, or Delirium. They are just such great books that no one could glare or judge another reader for buying them, no one!
I hope you like all of your new books Kelly :D
Kim @ Kimberly’s Novel Notes recently posted…Stacking the Shelves (71)
Scarlet is sooo good! I haven’t read Delirium or The Bone Season yet, but I do own copies. I’m really intrigued by Cruel Beauty and I’m excited to see what you think. Happy reading!

I love your excuse – that it was your textbook money. :) Is that why you were annoyed at how much textbooks cost?? hahaha. I totally get it though becauase there are SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS releasing in Feb and I just can’t. What do I do?? Enjoy your new books! I am eyeing them greedily from afar. :)

They’re all so pretty!!! Also, I think I should start trading books. That sounds like an excellent idea.
Emily Mead recently posted…Book Review: Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
I think it’s kind of funny you used your text book money for the books. I remember when I used to do that. Now you can rent text books and save so much money. It’s amazing!!

Lucky! You have so many books! I’m not allowed to buy books yet because I haven’t finished reading them all. Anyway, happy reading!

Heck yeah to that original Delirium cover. I was so disappointed when they changed. :(
happy reading!

It’s hard to imagine any of us blaming you for buying books! :) :) I don’t impose bans on myself simply because the temptation to break them becomes larger when it’s forbidden. Hehe.
I love Delirium, Stolen, Into the Still Blue, AND Cruel Beauty! And the old Delirium cover! I like the new covers, but I read it with the old cover so I have a soft spot for it. :)
Happy reading!

Cait @ Notebook Sisters recently posted…Stacking the Shelves #11
I love love love Cruel Beauty! Read it ASAP. :) I seriously need Winger in my life. I’ve heard so many good things about it especially from Raeleen (a book tuber over at padfootandprongs07). She said it gave her ‘all the feels’ haha so yes, it’s on top of my to buy list.
