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 utterly failed my not-really book ban.
Bought:
Up From The Grave (Night Huntress #7) by Jeaniene Frost
Split Second (Pivot Point #2) by Kasie West x2
Her Dark Curiosity (The Madman’s Daughter #2) by Meagan Shepherd
Pivot Point (Pivot Point #1) by Kasie West
Landry Park (Landry Park #1) by Bethany Hagen
Unite Me (Shatter Me 1.5 + 2.5) by Tahereh Mafi
Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer x2
Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) by Tahereh Mafi
Switched (Trylle #1) by Amanda Hocking
Torn (Trylle #2) by Amanda Hocking
Ascend (Trylle #3) by Amanda Hocking
So. Yeah. I utterly failed my buying book ban.
There are two copies of Split Second because one will be a gift! Same with Cress.
As for the Trylle series, I just HAD to get them since it’s THREE paperbacks for the price of one ($10)!
P.S. Please ignore Minders, it’s not supposed to be there. :P
Won/Gifted:
Fault Line by Christa Desir
Minders by Michele Jaffe
I won a signed copy of Fault Line from a giveaway and the lovely Jess from The Reading Nook Reviews gifted me a beautiful copy of Minders!
That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?
I have Up From the Grave, but I just can’t make myself read it. I’m too sad about the end of Cat and Bones! :'(
Great haul. Enjoy your reads. Stop by my StS if you can. :)
Aarati recently posted…Stacking the Shelves #11
Me too! That’s the exact same reason why I haven’t read it yet; I don’t want Cat and Bones’ adventures to end! ):

I can’t even tell you how jealous I am of your haul! Haha, you got so many amazing books! :)
Emily @ Simply YA Reviews recently posted…This Star Won’t Go Out by Esther Earl with Lori and Wayne Earl
Aww, don’t be jealous! Maybe you’ll get them too!
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [70]
Woah, looks like you totally failed you non-book-buying ban.
Awesome haul, though! :)
Emily Mead recently posted…Writing Excerpt Saturday – The Daisy List
Ha ha, yeah. But I would be fixing that soon!
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [70]
Wow jealous of that stack! There are so many I want to read!
Missie recently posted…Cruel Beauty – A Beauty and The Beast Re-telling
I don’t know where to start! Just kidding, I will obviously start with Pivot Point + Split Second. ;DD
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [70]
Great haul! If you are going to throw out your book ban this was the week to do it! So many great releases :-) I still need to read Split Second…have you read it yet? Curious what you’ll think. Everyone loves it thus far. Enjoy :-)
Kristen@My Friends Are Fiction recently posted…Stacking the Shelves
*eyeballs Cress excitedly* Can’t wait! XD
You know, I should probably hurry up and read Scarlet…
I’ll be interested to see what you think of Minders, I really wanted to read that one!
Jessi @ Novel Heartbeat recently posted…Review: Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott
Minders has a really pretty cover. You reminded me that I need to find Cinder and Scarlett to take with me to the BOW signing. Great haul of books Kelley. Buying bans never work with me. Come check out my stack as well.

Eileen @ Singing and Reading in the Rain recently posted…The Real Prom Queens of Westfield High by Laurie Boyle Crompton Blog Tour
Yes! I am about to start Cress! I am actually bummed out my jacket for the book the printing is off so I have to talk to amazon to get a new one. Nicole LOVED Pivot Point so hopefully you enjoy too!
Ashley @The Quiet Concert recently posted…Stacking the Shelves (58) – Feb 8th
I read Up From the Grave earlier this week and it was a great ending to the series! I’m hoping Jeaniene Frost keeps writing in that world so we can get our Cat/Bones fix. I got Cress this week as well…it is wonderful so far. Happy reading!
Jennifer @ Feminist Fairytale Reviews recently posted…STACKING THE SHELVES (25)
Three paperbacks for the price of one? No one could blame you for that, in fact we would have been angry if you hadn’t bought them! :) Looks like a great haul, hope you enjoy all of them!
Lindsey recently posted…Friday Favorites: Favorite Children’s Novels
Minders looks good. Hope you can stop by mine.
Awesome Haul!! Sometimes you just have to break a buying ban :).
I almost got Her Dark Curiosity this week as well, but I had to choose between that and Cruel Beauty and I got Cruel Beauty.
OMG Minders!!!! Everything about that book looks amazing! The cover is just so beautiful and the plot sounds really interesting. That’s on my top to buy list.
Hope you like all of your new books Kelly :D

Wow, to even say that I’m jealous of your haul this week is the understatement of the century… SO many good books here! Can’t wait to hear your opinion of them all, especially because I’ve got my eye set on a couple of them, too!
Savannah recently posted…Stacking the Shelves: The Mid-Quarter Slump Haul
Ahhh, so many books! I see Pivot Point and Split Second and I’m like ooo, I got a Kasie West read as well! I got On the Fence this week, but from Edelweiss. I need to read Fault Line! I have had it for a while now, but have not yet read it. Yikes!
Have a fabulous weekend!
Check out my STS post!

Cress by Marissa Meyer. It was excellent!
Can’t wait to see your review of FAULT LINE. Great book haul. I just finished ASHEN WINTER and DARLA’S STORY from the ASHFALL series and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of SUNRISE. I’ve got THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE, OCD LOVE STORY, WHERE THE STARS STILL SHINE, THE ALCHEMY OF FOREVER, and FADING AMBER (Jaime Reed’s awesome LIVING VIOLET Cambion Chronicles book #3.) *scurries back to reading*
G. Donald Cribbs recently posted…Book Review: Darla’s Story (Ashfall #0.5) by Mike Mullin
I want to steal that copy of Split Second. I’m jealous like you won’t believe. But yay books! :D I haven’t read any of the other series you bought, other than Cress (I got it today <33 ) Happy reading, Kelly! :D
Dang girl that’s a lot of good books there! I still need to read Unravel Me, so no Ignite Me for me right now. I’m currently trying to donate the books I don’t want anymore so I can have more space on my shelf, and once I donate those books, I’ll buy the books I really want. :D

I AM EXCITED FOR SPLIT SECOND. AND YOU KNOW TWO REASONS WHY. ;DDDDDDD
Cee recently posted…JUDG(ING) A BOOK BY ITS COVER | The case of Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
I seriously need to read: Pivot Point, Shatter Me, Cinder.
I feel so behind! D:
Sorry about breaking your book ban :/
But enjoy the books! :D
Joanna V recently posted…Life of a Blogger (7)
Wooo! So many great books! I am so interested in seeing what you think of Up From the Grave! Naturally I have to read it since its the last one! Have you read the Trylle trilogy yet? I’ve been eyeing it for awhile now, but haven’t gotten a chance! I still need to read Pivot Point, as well as Scarlet! And I guess I need to catch up on the Shatter Me series too now that Ignite Me is out in the world. Happy reading Kelly!
Jessica@Lovin’ Los Libros recently posted…Weekly Wrap-Up #48
Oh wow…you definitely did fail. ;) XD But those are suuuuch awesome books! Yay! I hope you like Cress. Cress is the absolute best ever (although I totally rate all her books 5-stars so far…soooo, yeah. There is that). XD Happy reading! My StS!
Cait @ Notebook Sisters recently posted…Stacking the Shelves #12
So many lovely books, I’ve wanted to read Pivot Point and Split Second for ages! Congrats on winning Fault Line and Minders, I’ve heard great things about them both. I can’t wait to read Cress as well! Enjoy your reads.

When book bans are failed, they have to be epic, and you can never resist deals, so… ;) Happy reading! :)

Great haul! lots of amazing looking books. I recently got Pivot Point for Christmas and can’t wait to read it, it looks so good. I also need to hurry up and start the Lunar Chronicles, I’ve heard nothing but amazing things. I hope you enjoy all of your books :) My STS.
Reviews From A Bookworm recently posted…My Weekly Book Haul: 09/02/2014
I mean, how could you not buy two copies of Cress? (; It was amazing! I’m still waiting for my copy of Ignite Me. .____. Yeaaah. It better be worth the mental stress and waiting. xD I have Pivot Point, but I haven’t read it yet, so… I’m looking forward to it, though, because everybody seems to be loving it! (:
Nice haul! So many books. o_o
