Stacking the Shelves (60)


The trend of slow weeks for me continued through this week, but I made myself feel better by going to the bookstore twice and finding some good deals & getting some books that I am really excited for.  I did get one ARC this week:

A big thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for this pretty.  Back when I used to do WoW this was one of them so I am super happy that I got my hands on it.

The books I bought:
Bystander and You Against Me were only $4.99 each so I figured that I couldn't go wrong with them.  I've been wanting to read something by Jenny Downham for a while so that one was a really exciting find.  I also bought what will be my first Neil Gaiman book and what will be my first Sarah Dessen book.  I've heard really good things about their latest novels so I decided it was time to introduce myself to these authors. 

Have you entered the madness?

Stacking the Shelves (59)


Hey all!

I didn't do an STS last week because I only got one ebook and this week I didn't add too much to my collection either but here goes anyway:
After reading, and loving, Zom-B I ran out and got the next two books in the series so that I could continue on. I've already read Zom-B Underground and it was really great too! (Read my review of Zom-B and Zom-B Underground)

From the lovely people at Hachette Book Group Canada I got this pretty and I have to say that it sounds sooo good! I can't wait to finally read it.

Stacking the Shelves (56)


It's that time of the week again! This week I got some sweet ARC's, a prize came in the mail and I also did a little book shopping!  Here are my new goodies:


I got The Beautiful and the Cursed after winning it in a giveaway on Xpresso Reads and I got Spark from St. Martins Press.  I don't have the first book in that series but I guess I am going to have to grab it so I can start on the series.


On Tuesday after putting the brats to bed I snuck off to Chapters and got some contemporary reads that I think look really good! They both sound pretty gritty and right up my alley.

Stacking the Shelves (55)


I have a short but sweet haul this week, a few ebooks and only two physical books.  I am starting to love weeks like this because I am beginning to feel like I am actually starting to catch up on my mounds of review books.  Here's what I got:

For a tour with Jean Book Nerd I got Death, Dickingson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia (that's a mouthful, hey?) And back in February I was one of the winners of Great Imaginations' Blind Date With A Book giveaway.  My blind date ended up being How My Summer Went Up In Flames which seems like the perfect read for me. What great matchmakers Kara & Lyn are! Thanks ladies!

What is up with the influx of ebooks lately? This week I have nothing but them so I'm not bothering with a vlog...because I would have nothing to talk about.  But anywho, here's what I got!

Stacking the Shelves (53)


Hello!

So this week I only have two physical books and a slew of ebooks so I decided not to do a vlog for this weeks post.  I went on an ebook buying spree on Amazon because I decided to rage against Chapters and take my business elsewhere.  Too often I have tried to go to one of the 5+ Chapters/Indigo locations in my city on a books release date only to find that it is not available and still in transit.  To me, that is ridiculous! I mean a book has a release day for a reason and those days are so exciting for book lovers. Way to rain on my parade Chapters! So here is what I got:

I was so excited to find a The 5th Wave at Costco and The Eternity Cure at Wal-Mart so both were under $12!

The Eternity Cure is so damn pretty under the jacket I just had to show you.  I wasn't a huge fan of The Immortal Rules but I am hoping that this one has improved (or I may have just bought it because it was so pretty!)

Also, from my sister from another mister (Giselle of Xpresso Reads) I got this pretty! 
She loved it so much and thought I would really enjoy it, so thank you G! You rock!
