Stacking the shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's basically a way in which we get to show off the lovely new goodies we got
over the past week/month however you decide to do it. (Because let's
face it, us bookish types love to drag everyone down with us.)
I swear if there's ever a reality show called "Book Hoarders" I'll wind up on it. Welcome to my crazy week of binge requesting! If you've just gotten here...you MAY want to turn back now. You could be here scrolling down for a while...a LONG while LOL If you haven't turned back already then awesome! Grab a snack and sit back, relax and let's get to this shall we??
The Human (Eden Trilogy #2) by Keary Taylor
Eeep! I signed up to try to get a digital arc a couple weeks back and I got one yay!!! Thank you Keary!!!!
Shadow of Time by Jen Minkman
This past week I received another book of hers through NetGalley called The Island (it's listed below in this post) and I've read and reviewed it already. And while it wasn't for me personally due to part of what it's about I spent some time this week messaging back and forth with Jen. And she is an exceptionally sweet and lovely person and was very understanding about the parts I didn't like and STILL wanted to know if I would be interested in reading and reviewing this book. How awesome is that? I gladly accepted! :) Thanks Jen!!! By the way if you're interested in it at all I believe she said it will be going up on NetGalley in July? So keep an eye out! :)
Bought:
I think I requested a little over 30 books. I'm a glutton for punishment I know this. So far I've been declined for 2 (Yay! haha) but I wasn't too bothered because they weren't "OMG I NEED TO READ THIS" types of books anyway. But I've also been approved for, well, most of them:
A Really Awesome Mess by Trish Cook and Brendan Halpin
The Prelude (A Musical Interlude #1) - KaSonndra Leigh

*I didn't realize these three were "classics" when I requested them off of NetGalley. I need to start looking these up on Goodreads before I hit the button from now on I suppose. So I'm not expecting to be wowed since they're reprints from the 80s and 90s ...

So yeah...that's my tiny little haul. Ha! So I'm pretty much spending any free moment breaking through this list, I even have a reading schedule all lined up. I never do that! But I want to get them in around the time they're due for publication and then throw the rest in where there's space. Sooooo, needless to say if I'm not commenting or responding back very quickly, or at all for that matter I've probably got my nose stuck in one of these so I apologize!

Oh my goodness so many books!! Where do I start? I know exactly what you mean about NetGalley...i just keep clicking and clicking and then my Kindle is full up. I just finsihed Crossing and LOVED IT. I got Touching Melody last week...I think! I read Everblue a few weeks ago and enjoyed it! I've heard a lot about Safe Word...I must check it out!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all of your books!

SO... many... books! Wow! I absolutely loved Open Minds when I read it! I really want Crossing and Touching Melody as well! Awesome haul!!
ReplyDeleteMy Haul
How in the world will you get to all of these? I have had Open Minds in my possession for like a year and haven't gotten to it yet. One day....

Ha I know right. I am generally a pretty fast reader. Unless I'm struggling with how I feel about a book then it can bog me down some. But I'm hopeful! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I was sort of iffy about Open Minds it was an impulse download haha. And I'm excited for Crossing because I've read the author's Zellie Wells Trilogy and loved it so I'm hopeful. :) Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteExclamation marks are highly underused! I encourage usage of them on my blog at all times!!
ReplyDelete!!!!!
:D
Oh good on the Crossing!! I've read another series by Stacey and loved it so much so I had a feeling this would be good too. And I've been looking forward to Touching Melody for a while so I'm really glad I got approved! Yay on the Everblue I don't even remember downloading it (Hopefully I'm not doing it in my sleep! haha) But it looks good so maybe I got something right!
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlie!! xx :)
You did go crazy on NG! I am SO jealous you got Forever of Ella and Micha. They denied me. :( I've read When in Paris, and I liked it. I'm on the blog tour for Dragonfly this week (so I need to read it in the next day or so. LOL) Yay! You got Safe Word too! I can't wait to get free time to start that! Which will be... probably never. Haha!
ReplyDeleteCrap do I know that feeling! I'm starting Dragonfly next I just need to get through about 8% of Outcast and I'm really looking forward to that one. Yay!! Safe Word ahh I swear no more NetGalley or anything else. After I get through the *cough*30*cough* or so I have to read I'm going to take a long break and read some ME books...including Safe Word haha :P
ReplyDeleteI have a tendency to get click happy on NG, too. It's hard not to! I'm really excited to read Prep School Confidential. I didn't realize it was on there until a couple of days ago, so I may have requested it too late. I have Outcast and Dragonfly, but haven't read either yet. Great haul! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by earlier!
