Stacking the Shelves | An Unexpected Surprise

I'm finally on time for Stacking the Shelves! This week I've gotten so many great reads that I've been eyeing for such a long time. Keep in mind that I'm still on my book ban till May. May is my bird-day month and that means mostly splurging on books so I'm trying to save as much as I can.

Books I Bought

Why you should read The Winner's Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski → here!

Received for Review

Thank you TheNovl for The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone - A book about Maddie O'Neil whose whole life changes when her Grandma reveals that she has cancer and is whisking away the entire family on a cruise trip for the summer. It's no ordinary cruise; it's a death with dignitiy cruise where a handful of passengers are terminally ill patients who won't be returning home, and the rest are loved ones there to say goodbye and have a summer of dreams-come-true in the process. Releases on June 7th, 2016.

Thank you so much Simon & Schuster for a finished copy of The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson - This is my most anticipated book of this year and definitely if you've yet to check Morgan out, I suggest starting with Since You've Been Gone. Release date: May 3rd, 2016.

Thanks to Kody Keplinger for an advanced ARC of her new novel Run, which she says is very different from her other books, and she's so excited to share it with everyone! Releases on June 28th, 2016.

Thanks to Jolly Fish Press for Jerkbait by Mia Siergert - A story of two twins that aren't the best of pals. I think this is an interesting take on twin-relationships and since I'm a twin myself, I know this book was just calling to me. Releases on May 10th, 2016.

Stacking the Shelves | Preorders + Book Outlet Craze

It's not Christmas nor is it my birthday so I don't know why this post is actually a thing. I realized that more than 20 books are coming out in February-May that I feel compelled to buy. I started out with a few preorders and suddenly realized I had a $5 coupon from Bookoutlet.com. It was also great to receive some gifts from publishers and authors.

Preordered

I have no words for these 2016 releases. I just need them now... like right now!

Bought

Of all the books here I'm super excited for The Mime Order and The Bees. LOVED LOVED LOVED The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon and am excited to jump into the second book. The Bees sounds like a compelling story told from the point of view of a worker bee. I'm also The Book's Buzz, so why the hell not?

Received from Author/Publisher

Thank you Bloomsbury!

For those who didn't know, this is a pamphlet that goes along with The Bone Season series by Samantha Shannon. It's supposed to give light and perspective on the different clairvoyants and their history.

Thank you Penguin Random House!

Thank you Dela!

Thank you Penguin Teen!

Thank you Penguin Random House!

Stacking the Shelves - Huge Sunday Haul!

It isn't even Christmas yet and I have so many books to show. I haven't done one of these in a while so I'm out of practice and rather than just list the books that I got, I'm going to tell you a little bit about the ones I'm interested in. I also received some from publishers so I'll mention that too! I can't wait come back and show my Christmas haul of books (I'm going to go crazy).

Bought

The Sweet Venom trilogy is a rebuy. I read the series on Kindle three years ago and never bought the series as physical copies. Not If I See You First makes my #1 books this year so be sure to check out my review.

Sadly, I haven't received Bad Magic and Inherit the Stars in the mail yet D:

Review: Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom

Thank you Quirk Books!

I've been eyeing this book ever since it was first announced as an ARC. I don't know. I know a lot of people got ARCS but I'm kind of glad I got the finished copy rather than the ARC because it looks beautiful. You can check out my Instagram for full pictures of the cover and the inside of the book. I'm going to dig into this bad boy during my holiday break, and I'll be sure to post my thoughts and feels.

Thank you Penguin Random House!

Two 2016 releases that I'm jumping at the chance to read. I can't wait to review these books for you on the site.

Where Futures End by Parker Peevyhouse. The book follows five teens from different time periods in the future. Although they are from different times, their paths are supposed to intertwine and lead somewhere that might aid the world that is destroying itself. Confused yet? I have been epic-ally confused by this synopsis but I'm excited to see where this book takes me. It'll be something to gape at on my vacation.

The Radiant Road by Katherine Catmull. (synopsis from Goodreads) And sometimes the Strange came to visit Clare, and dreams walked through her waking life.

After years of living in America, Clare Macleod and her father are returning to Ireland, where they’ll inhabit the house Clare was born in—a house built into a green hillside with a tree for a wall. For Clare, the house is not only full of memories of her mother, but also of a mysterious boy with raven-dark hair and dreamlike nights filled with stars and magic. Clare soon discovers that the boy is as real as the fairy-making magic, and that they’re both in great danger from an ancient foe.

Fast-paced adventure and spellbinding prose combine to weave a tale of love, loyalty, and the strength we carry within ourselves.

Thank you 1000x, author Michelle Madow!

Michelle Madow is the author of the popular YA series, The Secret Diamond Sisters. This new series is based on Greek Mythology and it's a first in a new fantasy mythology series. Although there were some minor errors with the characters, the plot was very intriguing and the narration remind me of something like Jennifer L. Armentrout's. Look out for my review coming on the 26th of December. You'll be able to pick up this book when it releases January 26th.

Thank you, Rysa Walker! Love you.

Time's Divide is the final installment in the Chronos Files series by Rysa Walker. It's a great walk through into time travel novels when you normally wouldn't read a historical fiction book. I'm still surprised this series is ending as it feels like I've just read the first book yesterday.

Stacking the Shelves On Thursday!

I'm out of post ideas and it's not Saturday, but it feels like Saturday. It's Thursday but I don't have school because of a holiday so let's celebrate that by hauling in some books because I know that's always my favorite part!
