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!
Tons of books from my mailbox this week!
Bought:
Let the Sky Fall (Let the Sky Fall #1) by Shannon Messenger
Towering by Alex Flinn
Barnes and Noble decided to be nice to me this week and sent me a free 15% off coupon. I had to buy Let the Sky Fall with that, despite the fact that I’ve never read the book yet.
As for Towering, I spied it on the shelf in Strandbooks and snagged it asap. It’s in new condition, is released on Tuesday, and 50% off. What could be better than that?
Borrowed:
The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden #2) by Julie Kagawa
I’ve read The Immortal Rules a year ago and absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to start The Eternity Cure!
In My Mailbox:
Parallel by Lauren Miller
Of Triton (Of Poseidon #2) by Anna Banks
Rememberance (Transcent Time Saga #1) by Michelle Madow
The Goddess Test (Goddess Test #1) by Aimee Carter
Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test #2) by Aimee Carter
Once (Eve #2) by Anna Carey
Eve (Eve #1) by Anna Carey
Spell Bound (Hex Hall #3) by Rachel Hawkins
I was lucky enough to win an ARC of Parallel during Epic Reads’ Tea Time. I’ll have to squeeze that book into my reading schedule.
I won a signed copy of Remembrance from Sara @ Ramblings of a Book Nerd. Thanks Sara!
As for the rest of the books, I got them all from trading using YA Book Exchange.
That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?
Nice Haul! I love ya book exchange :)
I really really want to start Let the Sky Fall and I need to read Immortal Rules before I can get to Eternity Cure! I hear great things!

I love YA Book Exchange too Ashley! :D
I can’t wait to start Let the Sky Fall and you should definitely read The Immortal Rules asap. It’s probably the best YA vampire book that I’ve ever read. ;D

Nice haul! I really loved The Eternity Cure (read an ARC of it a while back) and thought it was much better The Immortal Rules :) Let the Sky Fall wasn’t bad either.

Yay, that’s good to hear, I can’t wait to start reading The Eternity Cure! :D
It’s good to know that Let the Sky Fall isn’t bad either.

Great haul. You should try Arcyling as well. Some of those books are really sweet. Come check out mine as well.

I do try ARCycling, it’s just that I’m slow in requesting books and all the good ones get taken so fast. ):

I’m excited to read The Eternity Cure since I just got it for review! I also want to read Let the Sky Fall. Happy reading :)

Really? I’ve never really heard of Parallel until I won it. Hopefully I’ll enjoy it! :D

So much choice, I really want to get my hands on a copy of Let the Sky Fall. Happy reading!

It looks like everyone wants to get their hands on a copy of Let the Sky Fall!
Thanks for stopping by my STS Luna! (:
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [31]
You really have this talent with making me jealous of your haul. :D
This is great Kelly! I hope that you’ll have a happy reading.

LOL, I don’t know whether I should be happy that you’re jealous or sad that you’re jealous of my haul Jules. Both I guess? :D
And happy reading to you too Jules! (:
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [31]
I’ve been dying to read Let the Sky Fall! It sounds awesome! And OMG I’m so jealous that you got Of Triton. I am dyyyyying to read that. But Parallel is absolutely AMAZING! You are going to love it!

I’ve saw mostly good reviews of Let the Sky Fall and I can’t wait to read it either. Hopefully I won’t be disappointed!
I can’t wait to read Of Triton either, the cover is gorgeous! :D<3
I've never heard much of Parallel so, that sounds good!
Thanks for stopping by my STS Ashley! (:

So many good books!! Let the Sky fall looks really great!! I’ve also heard a lot of good things about it. SO, I hope you like it :D
I’ve been meaning to read some Alex Flinn, I heard she’s a great writer and her books are really good. I also really need to check out the YA Book Exchange sometime soon.

I know, I LOVE the cover of Let the Sky Fall Kimberly! I can’t wait to read it!
I’ve tried to read Beastly before, but it wasn’t really the book for me. I bought Towering because the cover was stunning.
And definitely check out the YA Book Exchange! (:
Kelly recently posted…Stacking the Shelves [31]
Awesome haul! I’ve been wanting Let the Sky Fall for a while now! And I need to get myself a hardcover of The Eternity Cure to match (well, not exactly match because of the cover change) my Immortal Rules copy. But that’ll have to wait until after the move *sigh*
I swear to you if I ever make it to NYC I will hunt that Strand bookstore down and leave it like a dozen books heavier!! 50% off?!
Enjoy all your new books :)

Aww, if I was you Carmen, I would buy books anyway and suffer lately.
Well, the bright side of waiting is when you FINALLY get to buy books, you get to watch the salesperson’s eyes pop up when you drag all the books you’re going to buy up to the register. :D
I always leave Strandbooks with 3-6 books, but it’s worth it. 95% of the store is 50% off. It’s like a book lover’s dream come true.

New follower!
Let the Sky Fall was just an okay book for me….I thought the villains were kind of flat and the pacing was off. But hopefully you like it! Towering looks awesome, too. I loved Beastly and A Kiss In Time by Alex Flinn (though I disliked Cloaked).
Aww, pacing of the book is very crucial for me. When things in the book slow down, I usually notch down the rating. Hopefully I’ll enjoy Let the Sky Fall though.
I only read Alex Flinn’s Beastly and sadly wasn’t at all impressed. The writing wasn’t good and the worst part was, pages in the book were switched around/cut out/who knows what happened. Hopefully Towering would be better.
Thanks for stopping by my STS Rebecca & thanks for the follow! (:

I added Parallel and Towering to my shelves this week, too. I just picked up the first Hex Hall book, I ‘ve heard great things about the series. Happy reading! Enjoy your new books!

You should definitely read Hex Hall, you’ll definitely fall in love with Archer! He’s one of the best book boyfriends in my opinion. (:
Thanks for stopping by my STS Natalie! :D

Wow, you got some really good books this week! I’m so jealous, you got Parallel and Of Triton, two books that I can’t wait to read. It’s interesting to see Remembrance in print… when I got it, it was only available as an e-book.
I hope you enjoy your books! :)

Yeah, I can’t wait to start Parallel and Of Triton too. I’ve heard good things about them both.
Remembrance in print is smaller than regular sized young adult books. o:
Thanks for stopping by my STS Emz! (:
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: Just One Kiss – Susan Mallery
I.. didn’t really love Towering as much as I wanted :( You have some other great books there, though! Happy reading.
Mel@thedailyprophecy recently posted…Showcase Sunday 29.
The only reason I bought Towering was because it was 50% off and it has a gorgeous cover. It’s sad that you didn’t like it much Mel. ):
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: Just One Kiss – Susan Mallery
The Eternity Cure is AWESOME! I really hope you love it!
All those books sounds awesome! (Eve is really good!)
Have a happy reading!

Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog. :) I see you got a copy of Let the Sky Fall! I hope you enjoy that because I sure did. Vane and Audra are the cutest. Hahaha! Also I haven’t yet started on the Immortal Rules, so…shame on me. xD I want to get my hands on a copy of Of Triton. :> Enjoy your books!!
No problem! (:
I can’t wait to read Let the Sky Fall, especially since you liked it.
You should definitely start reading The Immortal Rules, it is soo good. Probably the best young adult vampire book I’ve ever read in my opinion. (:
And yeah, isn’t the cover of Of Triton gorgeous? :D
Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: Just One Kiss – Susan Mallery
OMG TOWERING! I totally forgot that it came out already!!! I wanted it soooo bad. I really want to head over to Amazon and order it, but I need control. I have 9 library books staring at me right now, so NO, NANCY! lol

I’m in a worse position than you Nancy, I have like 30 something books checked out. :P
I need to return 12 of them at the end of the month too. ):

Kelly recently posted…ARC Book Review: Dare You To – Katie McGarry
I’ll look out for your review of Let the Sky Fall, I’m so psyched about it but I know I can’t read it just yet. Parallel looks great, congrats on winning it and hmm, I need to squeeze in The Immortal Rules in my reading pile. Everyone is so excited about The Eternity Cure these days.
Sana @ artsy musings of a bibliophile recently posted…Review: Dirty Little Secret by Jennifer Echols
I can’t wait to read Let the Sky Fall either, the cover is gorgeous which was why I bought it.
Definitely read The Immortal Rules Sana, it’s wicked awesome! ;D
