Stacking the Shelves #25


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!



So I've already read Beastkeeper, and it was really good! I just loved the fact that it was more on the mature side for a MG novel.

And then I finally got The Sin Eater's Daughter, FINALLY. It was at the library this time and didn't disappear on me. I swear a librarian was holding on to it without checking it out that one day. grr.

Ohhhh Black Dove, White Raven. I already read it, no surprise. AND IT WAS AMAZING. I actually wish I never finished it, I want to go back to being with Emilia and Teo.

The reason I picked up Hourglass, is because it's #2 on my TBR on Goodreads. I've made it my goal to at least read some of the books that have been on my TBR FOREVER. So yeah, I hope it's good!

I also picked up Unhinged, because come on I need to finish this series! I've also made it my goal to pick up a book in a series that I have already started, just so I don't leave any series unfinished. Plus I start wayyyyy too many new series hahah.


Thank you HarperCollins for all the amazing eARCs, Dumplin', This Monstrous Thing, The Rest of Us Just Live Here, Ash & Bramble, Walk On Earth A Stranger, and Dreamland. I'm pretty much excited for all of these! REALLY. I have a lot of goodies :)

There are so many things that happened this week, and a ton of things I need to work on this week. Which is why I won't be that active, because it's the end of the term! Sadly that means one exam and three papers. And I'm just waiting until Wednesday because then I'll have most of those things out of the way.

On the other hand, the reason why I wasn't able to post this on Saturday (not that it really matters but you know), is because I've been really busy these past two weeks. First off, last weekend I traveled back to Boston with my friends because on Monday my mom ran the Boston Marathon! And she completely crushed it.

This morning, I actually participated in a heart walk! It was 3 miles, and it was a lot of fun! Even though it was slightly cold outside, I give up on waiting for spring/summer. 

AND THIS TWEET!


Kind of the first time I tweeted an author, and that's why I'm excited about this. Haha I'm such a weirdo. But yeah, it's really coincidental that I went in a Heart Walk and I'm reading a book that deals with the same issue.

So yep there ya go. Don't expect me to be around for awhile. Sadly.

How has your weekend been going?

I am sincerely jealous of all your libraries there! <3 I'm glad you enjoyed Beastkeeper! I didn't even know it was out already, heh. I should probably read Unhinged, too--I've owned it for ages. D:

Good luck with the end of the term, Val! YOU CAN DO IT! *brings out pom poms*

And ahh, isn't Jessi Kirby just the sweetest!? <3 3

Hahahha you should be jealous. We have a good system here. Oh yeah I've saved Unhinged for last for some reason. I don't know I'm not THAT motivated to read it but I want to.

THANKS AIMEE! All I have is papers left! And she is the sweetest!
I read Splintered last month and LOVED IT! I cannot wait to read Unhinged :3
Also, I have The sin eater's daughter, I should pick that up soon! *-*

Hahhahah yaya!

You should! Well, I kind of have mixed feelings after reading it, but I'm still glad I read it :D
Ahhhh, I have been waiting for Ash and Bramble, and my ARC is on the way. :D
I hope it's a really good book. And I understand the way you got excited over tweeting an author because I got that way too sometimes, HAHA. And it just seems surreal whenever they reply.

Anyway, all the best for your exams! :D

Yayayya! I kind of requested Ash & Bramble because a lot of other people are excited for it, so we'll see! Yeah I'm honestly surprised when an author interacts with me because I'M JUST A LITTLE BLOGGER

Thanks!!!
These books look awesome!! That's a lot of library books, haha. Yay author tweets! Wooo Boston Marathon! Exciting stuff, Val, exciting stuff.

Hahahh thanks Erica. A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING IN MY LIFE NOW
ADJFKE. SO many fantastic books this week Val (as always). ;) I am so curious to see what you think of Black Dove, White Raven (I hope it doesn't rip your feels out too much! xD ) and The Sin Eater's Daughter. Thanks for sharing, and happy reading!

Hahah thanks ZOE! Oh man Black Dove, White Raven was gorgeous but it didn't rip out my heart which was a good and bad thing. And ahhh Sin Eater's daughter could've been better, but you didn't hear that from me!

<3 <3
Aw, YAY for you and your mom! Both are lovely accomplishments! Also, um, I thought you said you had discipline? I see none here.

I am very curious to hear what you think of The Sin Eater's Daughter. I find it to be a love it or hate situation. I loved it. So who knows. ALSO... THE REST OF US JUST LIVE HERE. I have been TRYING to not request it, for I have pre ordered it, AND am willing to give a kidney or something at BEA for it, but... just tell me not to, okay? Hope you love these books!

EXCUSE YOU. I HAVE DISCIPLINE. JUST NOT AT THE LIBRARY. Because it doesn't involve money.

Uh, maybe you should hold off on your curiousity. AND OMG THE REST OF US JUST LIVE HERE. YOU SHOULD JUST REQUEST IT oh nevermind of course you pre-ordered even though IT IS GOING TO BE AT BEA.

I'll take your kidney
I haven't been to the library since a couple of years now but seeing your goodies I went out today :) Hope you enjoy the books you have gotten, happy reading!

Glad to see I am inspiring you to go to your library! Hahahahha. Thanks Benish! :D
I feel like the new Patrick Ness book just came out of nowhere, I love his books (and not so much the author). I'm reading The Sin Eater's Daughter at the moment and really enjoying it! The first in the Hourglass series is on my TBR as well. Enjoy your reads Val!

I haven't even read anything by Patrick Ness, to be honest. I just requested it because it's him. I don't know him as an author though. Oh wait the Hourglass is in a series. Oh I did not know that. I should've looked into that. I have started so many series
