Stacking the Shelves #3





Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews is an opportunity to show off the books we've won, bought, or borrowed. :D

Bought:

Plastic Hearts (Hearts #1) by Lisa De Jong

Recommended for mature readers due to sexual content and language.

Shooting Stars (A Surah Stormsong Novel #1) by H.D. Gordon

Betwixt by Melissa Pearl

Gwen Reaper by Jaz Primo

A Timely Curse by Joseph DiBartolo

Borrowed:

Bitter Freedom: Memoirs of a Holocaust Survivor by Jafa Wallach

Won:

The Mark of Cain (The Cain Chronicles: Book One) by A.D. Seeley

Did you get anything this week? I tried to restrain myself after last week, lol.

Stacking the Shelves #2

Here's my second Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Just wait until you see what I got this weekend! You're going to be shocked, haha! All links will connect you to Goodreads. :)

The Prophet of Yonwood (Book of Ember #3) 

by Jeanne DuPrau

I bought the first two books in this series last year at a garage sale. I found this at Goodwill. :)

 

Rules of Attraction (Perfect Chemistry #2) 

by Simone Elkeles

I bought both of these at Goodwill today. I now own all three Perfect Chemistry books! :)

Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr

Also a Goodwill find. I haven't heard of this one, but Ali Cross rated it five stars and I trust her opinion. It sounds really good. Are people crazy for giving this book away?!? (As in donating it to Goodwill? I sound harsh...I just have a hard time letting go of any books to be honest!)

The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder

As I Wake by Elizabeth Scott

I bought both of these at Ollie's, an outlet store that sells about everything, for crazy cheap. They both look great! I've heard a lot about The Probability of Miracles from fellow bloggers, so I can't wait to dig in!

Whisper of Death by Christopher Pike

Scavenger Hunt by Christopher Pike

One of my favorite authors growing up! I've read Whisper of Death and used to own it, but I'm not sure where it is and can't live without it. I bought this at Half-Price Books today for fifty cents! Almost makes me want to cry! I haven't read Scavenger Hunt yet; it was one of his books I never saw in bookstores growing up. I got this one at Goodwill. Like I said, people are crazy giving their books away. Maybe they just don't want to be a hoarder like me. ;)

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

Both of these were bought at Ollie's today, and I've wanted to read both of them for like ever!

Roses and Bones: Myths, Tales, and Secrets by Francesca Lia Block

Divine by Mistake (Partholon #1)   by P.C. Cast

I've been buying books by Francesca Lia Block wherever I see them. I've heard she's a fabulous writer, and I can't wait to see for myself. I haven't seen any books except the House of Night books in stores until today and had to pick up this book by P.C. Cast. Both of these were bought today at Half-Price Books.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson 

by John Green & David Levithan

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

Both of these bought at Ollie's. I have been dying to read these! I feel incredibly lucky to have found them at such awesome prices.

The Name of the Star (Shades of London #1) by Maureen Johnson

Immortal City (Immortal City #1) by Scott Speer

I got both of these at Ollie's. :)

Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone by Kat Rosenfield

The Girl with Borrowed Wings by Rinsai Rossetti

Both from Ollie's

Graveminder by Melissa Marr

Bought at Half-Price Books. I'm really excited for this one! :D

I won a Stitch E-Swag Pack from the "Get Stitched for Valentine's Day" giveaway! From the author, Samantha Durante, I received an ebook copy of Stitch with an Authorgraph digital signature, a Stitch bookmark, and a $5 Amazon GC! I've been wanting this book forever, and I'm ecstatic to have won it with the swag!! <3 She's super nice, and even started following me on Twitter and commented on my blog! I was so surprised and totally fangirling, lol! :D

Stitch (Stitch Trilogy #1) by Samantha Durante

With my $5 GC, I bought the following three ebooks:  

Freak of Nature (IFICS #1) by Julia Crane

Sunshine (Sunshine Series #1) by Nikki Rae

Gravity (The Taking #1) by Melissa West

I also received several books for review, which I will do a separate post for those since this post is already so long. :) I've also won a lot of giveaways over the last few months and have been wanting to do a post for those, too; however, I'm afraid you all might ban me from your future giveaways, lol. I've had incredible luck winning them! Just ask Shy from Doctor's Notes. I told her if I won another giveaway from her, then we oughta go to Vegas. And I then won my third one from her, so guess where we need to go? :D

How was your week in books? Did you get anything new? 

Stacking the Shelves #1

Hey everyone! First of all, I want to thank all of my followers--new and old. Without all of you, I would basically just be talking to myself, lol. I'm grateful for all of you, and to show my appreciation, I'll be holding my very first giveaway coming up soon. Stay tuned! :D

Today is my very first Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Just wait until you see what I got this week!

I went to Half-Price Books and bought the following seven books:

My husband's purchase:

The Star Trek Encyclopedia 
by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda

He got a crazy good deal on this one, too. Originally $60, it was marked down to $7!!!

My ten-year-old daughter picked out this book: 



Sailor Moon SuperS Vol. 1 (Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon #12) 

by Naoko Takeuchi

She finished it today, and I'm definitely planning on reading it as well.

My three-year-old son picked out this book:

Rock with Mickey  by Publications International Staff (Editor) 

We've read this several times already, and we just bought these Saturday evening. :) It's one of those books I really enjoy reading to him, and as I mentioned the other day, he's a huge fan of Mickey. Plus, it has music! :)

I received this pin from The Hippie after reading Snowflake Obsidian: Memoir of a Cutter and participating in the Snowflake Project. I love it so much! <3 I'll post my review of the book plus let you know what the Snowflake Project is all about and how you can participate also.

I also bought these two ebooks from Amazon:

 

The Haunting Season by Michelle Muto 

Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise #1) 

by Simone Elkeles 

Well, that's it for me this week. You can tell who has the book "problem" around here, lol. I say it isn't a problem; however, my family does. I guess they feel this way because everywhere you look in our house there are piles and piles of books. I tell them all I need to do is get organized. That's all. :D

I'd love to know what you guys stacked your shelves with this week! Let me know in the comments and link me up to your post! :D
