Stacking the Shelves [57]

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!

All these pretty books! :D<3 Bought:
These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
Shadow and Bone (The Grisha #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Champion (Legend #3) by Marie Lu
Curtsies & Conspiracies (Finishing School #2) by Gail Carriger

thesebrokenstars curtsiesandconspiracies

 
I went to Strandbooks to pick up a copy of Of Beast and Beauty because I absolutely loved the 313 pages I’ve read so far before I’ve bought it and saw a gorgeous, finished copy of These Broken Stars! I was literally jumping up and down when I saw it – and immediately grabbed for it.
I got a signed copy of Shadow and Bone from the Fierce Reads signing and both Champion and Curtsies & Conspiracies were pre-ordered from Amazon.

Won:
Confessions of a Murder Suspect (Confessions #1) by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

confessionsofamurdersuspect

 
I won Confessions of a Murder Suspect from a Goodreads giveaway. They were supposed to give me the paperback edition, but oh well. -shrugs- I’ve already read this and didn’t like it. :l

That’s all for this week! What books did you guys get?

    I’ so jealous you managed to find a finished copy of These Broken Stars a month before it comes out! Happy reading though!

    YOU GOT CHAMPION?? You are lucky!! I really want to read Champion and a lot of people are saying Shadow and Bone is really good so I might give that a try. I got a lot of ebooks, but none print so….I’m sad..hehe!
    Anyway, great haul!

      Ha ha, I haven’t read Prodigy yet, so I’m not excited for Champion yet since I never saw Prodigy’s cliffhanger. :P
      And ebooks make great reading materials too! ;D

      It isn’t out already, the bookstore I bought it from just sometimes has books that are released early.
      I’ve heard many great things about Champion’s ending, so I hope you’ll enjoy it. ;D

    Okay I’m so going to the Strand sometime this week and picking up a finished copy of These Broken Stars. I wasn’t aware that was out or Champion. You find such amazing books every week. It was nice to see you at Lady Jane’s Salon earlier this week.

      Ha ha, I’m just a bit annoyed at the finished copy of These Broken Star’s size. I like regular size books. :P
      Whaat, that’s just torture, having to wait another week for a book you pre-ordered!

    I am still insanely jealous that you got These Broken Stars in advance. I’m so closed to throwing my money at you so you can get it for me. ;) (But I shall wait for the ARC you’re sending me.)

      I sadly didn’t enjoy reading Confessions of a Murder Suspect. In fact, it scared me from all other James Patterson’s books. :l
