Stacking the Shelves (#57) & Recap: The Random Edition.

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.

So, how was everybody's week? Mines basically sucked. Beginning of next weeks going to suck too, as soon as Monday & Tuesday's gone, hopefully it'll turn around.

In other news, I'm addicted to Chicago Fire, and I'm shipping already. I 'm a shipper whore, but we're all shipper whores here, right?

But, books! The Random Edition because well, the books are all random. Some part of a series. Series I haven't started.

I've also been meaning to do this stack for the past 3 weeks, I got there eventually?..

Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston (Proof/ARC- Thanks to Orchard & the Books With Bite team.)
A Song for Ella Grey by David Almond (*Proof/ARC- Thanks to Orchard & the Books With Bite team.)
City of Halves by Lucy Inglis (* Thanks to Chicken House.)
Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead (Thanks to Penguin- This showed up in the mail three weeks ago randomly, not requested, and didn't pre-order since I haven't even started the series. So, I'm gathering it's from Penguin. Though, I've only ever had two things from them before, so yeah, weird.)
As Red As Blood by Salla Simukka (Thank to Hot Key Books.)
Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas (Thanks to Bloomsbury!- Now I did request this, because now I HAVE to start the series, see what I did there? I don't have a choice now.)
Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando (Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton & BookBridgr.)
Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton & BookBridgr- Okay, I never had any interest in reading it since I've heard a lot that it's basically a rip-off of VA, so just wanted to see how much.)
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (Bought- I do already own it, but it's the 50th Anniversary copy...had to.)

*Not pictured since, this is why when you're on the way out and the mail comes, you go back inside and leave it, not take it with you and then leave it at a friends.

What did you get this week? :)

Recap

Monday I reviewed: Amity by Micol Ostow
Teaser Tuesday: Anatomy of a Misfit by Andrea Portes
Waiting on Wednesday: Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White
Thursday: Edible Books: Harry Potter Edition (Ribbit, ribbit.)
Friday I reviewed: Feral by Holly Schindler

I had a good haul this week after my restraint collapsed and I went on a book buying spree, so I've had to split the haul over two weeks. I love getting that shiny new book in my hands! Enjoy your books!

Heir of Fire!! I'm so jealous! I hope you like the series though, it's one of my favorites. And Silver Shadows was amazing, you need read the series asap. :) Half-Blood is also really good, the first book is very similar to VA, but after that, the rest of the series is much more original. I hope you like all of these books! :)

Awesome haul! :)
The only book I hauled this week was "We Were Liars" by E Lockhart. I wanted to read it for a reading challenge that I'm doing for GoodReads. I would have hauled more books but...I'm on a book buying ban (my shelves are too full lol).
Happy reading! :D

Waaaa. I am green with envy just by looking at your physical ARCs. I know that I have a lot e-ARCs right now but I am still wishing to get even a single physical ARC. I don't know though but maybe it has something to do with accomplishing a new achievement.

Oh, Kirsty! I am not only crossing my fingers but my toes as well that you will like Throne of Glass. One of my all-time favorite series. Shame that I've only started the series early this year. Celaena is really a unique MC. I hope you will love her as much as I do. :D

Have fun reading all of your books! And hey, I hope everything will turn out okay with whatever's bothering you.

Jealous of your paperback of Heir of Fire. I've got an ebook but it's not the same.

Hope you love Throne of Glass series!! It's one of my favourites.

Silver Shadows is a nice surprise! I haven't started the series either, because I wanted to wait for all of the books to be out. Just one more to go! *growing impatient*

Ohh very nice book haul!! Sorry your week was crap, but hopefully it'll be better soon :) I have As Red As Blood too, though just a Kindle copy, I am kind of waiting to read a few reviews before starting it (so of course I am looking forward to yours!) I'm also pretty curious about Frozen. Hope you enjoy them and that next week is better for you :)

I adored Half-Blood; it does have quite a few similarities to VA, but once you get into the rest of the series, it really grows into its own thing. I think you'll like it :) Heir of Fire is AWESOME! Throne of Glass is one of my favorite YA Fantasy series!!

Your haul is amazing, and I am very jealous.

Wow, this is an awesome haul! I'm reading Crown of Midnight right now but I'm already dying to get my hands on Heir of Fire! And yes, I ship tons of people to! The second two characters make eye contact I'm just like "YES. THEY ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER!"

Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
