Stacking the Shelves #9


Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews and 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!

These past two weeks, I have only gotten a couple of e-ARCs, and review copies from blog tours.


Thank you Delacorte Press for Suspicion! I don't remember why I requested it from Netgalley, maybe because of the cool cover, or the blurb. Either way it's not going to be published for awhile, so that can wait.

And HarperTeen actually approved me for a title, so thank you for sending me The Memory Key! I'm hoping this turns out really good, because it's about a form of Alzheimer's. But it won't be published until March 3rd, haha.

And then, I completely forgot I signed up for the blog tour of The Unhappening of Genesis Lee, which is actually the complete opposite of The Memory Key, in that MC doesn't forget anything. Wow. What a coincidence!


To be completely honest, I have been incredibly busy. I'm not sure when I will have time to read the books I love, other than ARCs and blog tours here and there. I recently discovered a library near where I am currently living, but I'm unsure how to get a library card, or if I could get one. But if all goes wrong, I always have the school library!

And on that note, because of college and work (Guys I am working in the Baby Lab, do you know how excited I am? BABIES), I won't be as active as I once was in the summer. I'll try to post at least two or three times a week, but that's kind of pushing it. Maybe one review, and then one TTT or something? 

ALSO. I finished up my new blog layout today!

I'm kind of sad to see the old one go, but I really like the simple and clean look of my current one. I'm someone who loves changes and trying new things out, so don't expect me to keep a layout for less than 6 months :P

But yeah, so that's that! I'll try to comment as much as I can!

(You can also tell I'm totally out of it because I usually post these on Saturdays, and I thought today was Saturday because I had no classes, but it's actually Friday. Oops)

How was your week? Hopefully not as busy as mine! Feel free to link up those STS's!

Love the new look! I was approved for The Memory Key too! I was so, so excited, because I never thought I would get approved. Yay for us :) I have come close to requesting Suspicion too, but it is almost solely based on the pretty cover. And The Unhappening of Genesis Lee sounds good too, I have it as well but haven't started reading it. Also, what happens in a Baby Lab? I am really, really curious! Hope things calm down for you soon :)

YOU CHANGED THE LOOK. But it's awesome. ^-^ I just got a shock when I came on and had to ask if this was the right place...phewf. But I totally get that, I'm always feeling like changing my look ever like 6 months or so. Hehe. NO SHAME.

The Memory Key totally has intrigued me and I'm adding it on Goodreads. (I'm determined NOT to request to many books on Netgalley because...busyness, you know.)

How do you live without a library card???? I LOVE MY LIBRARY CARD.

Love the new look. Good luck with school! :)

Yay! I have seen all these ARCs but never got to to pick them up since I was focus with other ARCs, too. I hop you have fun reading all of them.

Love that you also discovered a new library. I hope it will be able to cater to your needs. We only have one library (unless you count the school libraries) here in our city and honestly, it's pretty useless unless you are researching stuff to write an academic paper. The fiction books there are way way old. Ngaks.

Babies? Lucky girl! Just a question (I am sorry if I'm pretty clueless), is a baby lab different from a nursery? And hey, whatever posting frequency you like, it would definitely be okay.

And congrats to your new design. It's definitely wonderful. Hahahaha, I guess a lot of us bloggers want to change our layouts every quarter or so. Yeah, it might affect our branding and stuff like that but at least we get to practice our designing skills. <3

I've gotten The Memory Key as well and I'm excited too, it looks really good. I love time manipulation books.

Love your blog design by the way :)

I <3 the new blog design Val! <3

And wow - what a fabulous haul! :D I am so interested in seeing what you think of The Memory Key. The premise sounds really interesting so hopefully the execution is just as good! :D And I also got a copy of Suspicion. It sounds like a really creepy, intense read so hopefully it turns out well for both of us!

Thanks for sharing, and happy reading! <3

I like the new design. :) It totally makes me smile! I'm hearing ya on the limited posting. I'm basically running ship and can only eek out a few posts a week. Life can be crazy busy! The Memory Key sounds interesting, I love stories that deal with memory!

Oh, I love the new look! It's so cute *.* And clean and I just love it. Aww, you seem to really love your work. Babies? Aww :) LOL, congrats for being approved for Suspicion!! It looks so good but you don't seem excited. (What is wrong with you?) Anyway, have a great weekend :D

I love this look! :P

Good luck at school! It really sucks when life gets in the way of blogging, especially when all you want to do is veg and sit in front of your computer, but hopefully school doesn't interfere too much. There's always post scheduling too, which might help you keep active and all of that. :P

I LOVE the cover of Suspicion *o* It's definitely intriguing.

The cover of Suspicion is gorgeous! I am trying hard to keep resist since the synopsis hasn't quite convinced me, but I'm really excited to hear what you think :D

I also got approved to read Suspicion! I was so happy because it's Random House and that rarely happens. I'm pretty sure I added it just because of that gorgeous cover, but whatevs. And how are you liking Raven?! I enjoyed it as much as the first book! I can't wait for the sequel (which the author hasn't started yet, unfortunately). This series is so intriguing. :)

I love you new layout! It's so clean and fresh and happy! EEE!!! I love blog redesigns :D

Also, The Memory Key sounds really interesting. I'll have to check it out when it comes out!

Your blog is looking beautiful! I hope you enjoy your new books this week and find time to read!

I absolutely adore the new layout. That header is just so cute and I can totally feel "Valerie" vibes from it~ And yay for Harperteen approving you! They're so anal about bloggers it's ridiculous, I swear. I can't wait to see what you think about these beauties!

Suspicion! Oh, that cover is absolutely to die for. It could be about dwarf throwing vikings who cross dress and I'd still buy a copy. Ohh, Harperteen! I can't get them to approve me for anything. I'll have to get you to request stuff and read a little to me each day. Nice haul this week Val, happy reading poppet <3
