Stacking the Shelves is a new weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, which is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. You can read more about the creation of Stacking the Shelves by visiting the official launch page here.
I had a pretty big week this week, thanks to some Kindle deals, a couple books from a friend (one borrowed, one for me to have), and a couple of Edelweiss approvals (both of which I am SUPER excited about!). Here’s what I added to my shelves this week:
Library Pick:
Purchased/Received:
- Evernight by Claudia Gray (FREE e-book from Books on Board)
- The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen (borrowed from a friend)
- Hereafter by Tara Hudson ($.99 e-book from Amazon)
- Hourglass by Myra McEntire ($1.99 e-book from Amazon)
- Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
- Timeless by Alexandra Monir (given to me by a friend)
Received for Review:
- Defiance by C.J. Redwine (from Edelweiss)
- Freak by E.K. Henry (e-book from author)
- Keaghan in Dreamside by J. Daniel Batt (e-book from author)
- Kissing Shakespeare by Pamela Mingle (from NetGalley)
- The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin (from NetGalley)
- The Super Spud Trilogy by Michael Diack (received from author)
- The Raft by S.A. Bodeen (from NetGalley)
- What’s Left of Me by Kat Zhang (from Edelweiss)
I am most excited to read What’s Left of Me, but am eagerly anticipating diving into all of these! Thanks especially to the authors who sent me e-books/books for review, and to the various publishers of NetGalley and Edelweiss for granting my review requests!
So what did you get this week? Please link me! I might be slow with comments, because I’m attending the final day of the U.S. Gymnastics National Championships (I’ve actually attended all of the sessions except Day One of the Junior Men), but I promise I will stop by and see what you got this week!

OMG you got so many great books :). The evernight series is one of my favorite YA series I loved Lucas in it <3. I also read Poison Study it's a pretty good book.
I heard great things about Sweet Evil I really need to buy a copy.
I hope you'll like these books. Happy reading !
Oh my gosh!!! You definitely got the best haul this week – you seriously got so many awesome books! I hope that you enjoy them all. :)
New to your blog!

I just read Hourglass this week and really liked it! It looks like you got a great stack of books this week! I am really liking the cover for The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy – makes me want to read that!
OMG, I love your haul!!!! I’ve read Evernight and I liked it! Sweet evil, Poison study, Hereafter and Hourglass are in my TBR list!! I really want to read them but they are not available here in our country.
Can you not do e-books from Amazon? I don’t know how their international policies work, but you don’t have to have a Kindle to read their e-books. I think you can read them on Adobe Digital Editions.
Looks like you got some great books! I got Defiance this week too. I hope it’s good. Sweet Evil is supposedly really good so I hope you enjoy! And Hourglass was a great read too. I love watching Gymnastics. The olympics is this yr right? Will there be gymnastics in this one? I always forget how that works. My Stacking The Shelves & Sunday Post

I hope Defiance is good, too, considering how many times I had to rewrite my request for Edelweiss! :-P And yes, the Summer Olympics are this July in London. I love the Olympics, and especially gymnastics, so when I saw that the Nationals were being held in my city (I’m in St. Louis), I knew I had to go. My friend and I got tickets to all the sessions, so it’s been a weekend full of gymnastics. :)
Everyone seems to be getting What’s Left of Me. I’m dying to get my hands on that book! Enjoy.

Awesome book haul! My cousin/co-blogger recommended Poison Study to me and lent me her copy, but I ended up loving it so much that I bought my own. Happy reading!
What a great selection! I am curious about many of these titles – The Raft, Defiance and some more. Enjoy your reading!
