Stacking the Shelves [67]

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 stuck with my not-really book ban! Yay! :D<3 For Review:
Frozen (Taken #2) by Erin Bowman
Split Second (Pivot Point #2) by Kasie West
Perfect Lies (Mind Games #2) by Kiersten White

splitsecond perfectlies

Thank you HarperCollins!

 
I literally had this HUGE smile on my face when I saw the package. I wasn’t expecting this one and when I opened it and saw the back cover of Split Second, I kept repeating to myself “I must be seeing this wrong, I must be seeing this wrong, this can’t be what I think it is.” It turns out I wasn’t seeing wrong!

Won:
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas

throneofglass

 
I won a gorgeous paperback of Throne of Glass from the lovely Kimberly at Kimberly’s Novel Notes. Thank you so much Kimberly! :D

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

    Awesome haul! Everybody is so excited about those sequels you got for review, but I have to admit that I still haven’t read the first book in any of those series (and in case of Taken don’t want to). I really need to read Pivot Point soon.
    Anyhow, enjoy all your new books :) And congrats for sticking with the ban!

    I still need to read Pivot Point so I can’t really fan girl on Split Second, but I bet it’s going to be an amazing read. I also have Frozen but need to read the first book! I also have Perfect Lies, but yeah, need to read Mind Games first haha. I really hope you enjoy them all! Not sure whether I wanna read Throne of Glass bc I heard mixed reviews.

    I think I seriously would have fainted if I had that package in my mailbox!! SPLIT SECOND?!!? I’m practically dying over here wait for that release. I need MOAR TREVOR!!!!!!! :) I’m curious to see what you think of Frozen. I liked Taken, but I didn’t love it. I haven’t read Mind Games though. I hope you enjoy all of your lovely new books! Throne of Glass is simply amazing, and that’s coming from someone who never reads Fantasy!!! Happy Reading! :)

    Glad you got your book :D. Last time I mailed a book it got lost, so I’m glad that wasn’t the case with Throne of Glass.
    I hope you like your new books :D.

    Split Second <33 I only have to wait, what, 2 or 3 more weeks until my copy comes in the mail! So excited! And is it sad that ToG is one of my favorite new series and I don't have the paperback of the first book. Such a beauty.

    Enjoy all of your books!

    I received an ARC of a middle grade book in the mail today titled School of Charm. The Goodread’s description makes it sound delightful. I also received a book from an author about a psychic vampire, but I don’t remember the title. My sister took it to read because it is not an ARC and I really want to free up some time to read Allegiant. My son bought me the Divergent box set for my birthday way back in October and I really am hungry to read it.

    Split Second-WANT WANT. I reeeeeally hope it’s as awesome as Pivot Point.
    Perfect Lies-I got this too but I didn’t LOVE Mind Games so I’m not very excited about it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. :)

    Hope you enjoy your haul and Congrats on sticking to your book ban, Kelly!
