The Innocent Smiley: Stacking the Shelves #26

Stacking the Shelves #26

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!

I literally CAVED. And plus it was my END OF THE YEAR impulse buy. So yes I did but An Ember in the Ashes. NO REGRETS.

And then I also bought Mosquitoland, because WHY NOT, and I've also been anticipating it since 1994. Sadly it is not about mosquitos taking over the world. Or I don't think it is.

Yay for Amazon sales! I got Cruel Beauty, Burying Water, and Damsel Distressed for super duper cheap. I really need to start paying attention to Kindle deals, honestly. Well maybe it's not a good idea but that's ok!

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS

CLASSES ARE OVER. I REPEAT, CLASSES ARE OVER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I mean I do still have work, BUT IT'S WARM OUTSIDE. And there's no snow! (If there was I would die) Sadly I still have 2 papers that I need to write. But by the end of next week I will officially be done with academic classes and grades and all that jazz.

I don't really have any motivation to work on my papers, but we'll see. Hahah.

Happy Spring guys! Finally!

I really need to get my copy of An Ember in the Ashes sooner of later. Saving my moola up for A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. :D

AN EMBER IN THE ASHES, YAY! YAY YAY YAY. And Mosquitoland, I'm a little iffy on that one, still <3 . That's a nice cover.

I've noticed Cruel Beauty has been on sale! If only I had moneyyyy, gah. Ooh, so glad you picked up Damsel Distressed, even if I haven't already read it. Yet. I bought it many months ago.

YAY! CLASSES ARE OVER. Ugh, papers aren't (generally) fun, good luck! :)

I'm ashamed because I haven't heard about those two hardcovers. I am sooo behind so many new releases... But yay to Cruel Beauty! I've been wanting to buy that as well because of the raving reviews. I'm hoping that you'll enjoy it as well, Val <3 3

I had a weird "WAIT WHAT" moment there when you said "end of the year", because it's like only May. haha. I GET IT NOW. End of school year. **nods** Least to say, I'm sad Mosquitoland isn't about a mosquito apocalypse. DARN. But I hope you love Ember in the Ashes!!! I soooo want to read that one. xD

Mosquitoes taking over the worlds. It's kinda vampires taking over the world, but with more buzz. LOL
Cruel Beauty was awesome read for me. I hope you like it!
Happy Spring and yay for no more classes. :)

I swear I'm the one person in the entire world who hasn't read/bought An Ember in Ashes. There's much hype, I think I'm just scared haha. It seriously is beginning to get to me though, and it's only a matter of time before I cave and the gorgeous book is on my shelf. BUT OH MY GOD MOSQUITOLAND <3 3 I hope you adore it as much as I do. It took me a bit to get into it but once I did? Magic. Cruel Beauty is also one by one of my favorite fairytale retellings author, so hope you enjoy that one too.

BUT YES GIRL <3 3 TOTALLY feeling your excitement about classes being done. Mine aren't done for a bit, so until then I'll just vicariously live through you. Cool? ~~~~

YOU'RE GOING TO READ CRUEL BEAUTY??? WOOT!
An Ember in the Ashes looks amazing. I can wait to buy the hardcover myself.
Damsel Distressed was both fun and heart-wrenching. So many emotions.
DNF'd Burying Water though and started Mosquitoland - is good.

YAY! Vacation time! For you anyway. Haha. I wouldn't complain about getting a little snow in my country. It's SO HOT! Just a little though because we're not built for that. Lol. Also, you have some great looking books there. I hope you enjoy them. I've been hearing lots of good stuff. Also, Damsel Distressed is a personal favorite. :D

Happy Spring, I'm actually quite jealous because it's my favourite season, and we're in Autumn now! YAY For Cruel beauty, man I love that book so much. Burying water, not so much but I've heard good things about the sequel. Now I need to find out what Mosquitoland is about. And exciting about Ashes!

Woo to no more classes!!! And can we talk about kindle deals, because I am a SUCKER for books on sale. $1.99 or less? I'll buy it! I don't know that I always read those books though. Hmm, I think you just inspired me to write a discussion around this!
