Stacking the Shelves [70]

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

cress splitsecond
switched

 
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

faultline minders

 
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. :)

      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! ):

    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 :-)

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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*

    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

    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!

    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
