Stacking the Shelves [5]

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 couldn’t buy any books at all.

Why?

Well I live in NYC, and there was a hurricane on Monday. I didn’t have any electricity from Monday to Thursday afternoon and lower Manhattan is also flooded. Most Barnes & Nobles are in Manhattan. Also, the subway tunnels are also flooded, making it hard to get around. Hopefully it’ll all be fixed on Monday, so I could buy more books, although I personally doubt it.

Borrowed:
Every Day by David Levithan
The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan
Finale (Hush, Hush #4) by Becca Fitzpatrick

Although there were barely any trains this week, I managed to go on a quick trip to the library yesterday (since the library I live near is closed for renovations I have to travel even further) and managed to snag three books to read.

As for Finale, the cover looked a lot better online than in person. In person, the girl on the cover of Finale looks cross-eyed while the shirtless guy just looks plain awkward…

But that’s just me.

What books did you get?

    Sending good thoughts your way. I have yet to read any of these books, despite how much I’ve wanted to. Hope they can give you an escape for a while!

    I’ve heard so many good things about Every Day! I’m not sure the summary really pulls me in though. But I absolutely adore everything Rick Riordan! Percy Jackson is one of my favourite series! Enjoy all your new books. :)

      So far Every Day is really good. It’s one of those books that manages to pull you in & insert tons of meaningful quotes too.

    I should really read the first percy jackson book soon. I really want to read the whole series because I’ve heard great things, but mostly so I can read the books and then watch the movies. :D

    Glad that you are okay even with the lack of book purchases, lol.
    I still need to read Finale, but I liked the others in the series.
    Happy reading,

    I loved Every Day, hope you enjoy it! And hope everything gets fixed soon in Manhattan!
    And I think you’re right, the cover of Finale looks weird.

    Happy Reading!
