Whew this is my first ever Stacking the Shelves! I’d seen it
on many blogs but never thought much of it. Thanks to Shirley at Shiirleyy’s Bookshelf
for encouraging me to do this J
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and every week
bloggers post about books they’ve added to their bookshelves! This includes
books bought through a physical store, online store, eBooks, books borrowed
from the library/a friend and gifts.
I’ll be doing my Stacking the Shelves on Sundays (ignore the
fact that it’s 12am Monday because I actually started writing this on Sunday LOL)
as it feels like a nice end to the week by showing what new books I have! My
books will pretty much all be bought from a physical store, online or eBook
(mainly the former two). I used to post about new books I got in a huge blog
post after I’d accumulated heaps of books but I guess it’s time to get
organised!
It seems fitting that I’m doing my first Stacking the
Shelves just as 2013 hit c;
For the week ending 13th January 2013, my bank
account gave to me:
- Something Like Normal by Trish Doller (Contemporary) – I got this in hardback, which is rare for me but I ordered it in from Kinokuniya and this is the US edition (@runswithundead was so happy that I got hardback LOL)
- Level 2 (The Memory Chronicles #1) by Lenore Appelhans (Paranormal/Sci-fi) – released early in Australia woot!
- Confessions of an Angry Girl (Confessions #1) by Louise Rozett (Contemporary) – because @runswithundead told me to get it ;D
- Speechless by Hannah Harrington (Contemporary) – heard a lot about this and I also have Saving June which I’ve started a bit and I love Hannah’s writing
- Undeadly (The Reaper Diaries #1) by Michele Vail (Paranormal) – I’d seen this around and it looked interesting so why not?
- Through the Ever Night (Under the Never Sky #2) by Veronica Rossi (Dystopia) – omg do I even need to explain myself? :DDDDDD
I probably won’t get around to a few of these for a while as
my tbr pile is HUGE. If I had done Stacking the Shelves last year, it would be
obvious how many books I’ve bought and still haven’t read!
Although… TtEN has already been read and reviewed; it couldn’t
be helped!!!
Awesome books! I wasn't a fan of Level 2 but I hope you enjoy that one. It was quite unique. As for the other books you got, I definitely can't wait to read Through the Ever Night! Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing mixed reviews about Level 2 as well but yeah the concept is so unique!
DeleteYou should TtEN asap it's amazing :)
Nice selection of books. Speechless and Under the Never Sky are both somewhere on my TBR mountain. There are just too many good books available that I can't resist buying them but it takes longer to read them than buy them. I keep getting further and further behind! My new books posts are at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Please stop by if you get a chance. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
DeleteThanks for stopping by :)
UtNS is sooooo good omg I highly recommend you move it up your tbr pile... somewhere close to #1 hehe :P
Which is your main blog? :o
Very nice Jaz. All your books look awesome. Level 2 was not for me personally. Through The Ever Night was excellent. New follower. Come check out my STS as well.
ReplyDeleteGrace
Oh woah another person who isn't a fan of Level 2 :o yes TtEN <3
DeleteThe UK cover for TTEN is pretty but I think I like the US one better. I'm so excited to get to that one!

I love both covers! But I think I like the UK cover more because of the covers. I want to get the matching UK cover of UtNS now haha.
DeleteNew follower! Speechless and Confessions of an Angry Girl were both pretty good books. Undeadly wasn't my favorite though. Hope you enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my SP & STS.

Hiyo,
DeleteThank you for following :)
I'm excited to read Speechless now as everybody's been saying it's good. Mixed reviews about Confessions #1 though.
OMG. JAZ. THE BOOOOOOOOKS ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of jealous you've READ TtEN and I'm STILL writing my Unravel Me review, but... sdfjfgsjafg. I'm so excited you loved it so much.
AND OMG. SPEECHLESS! Seriously, I love Hannah like WHOA. Saving June is one of my favorite books of ALL TIME (it gets better the more you read ;D) and Speechless. Speechless is OMG. It was bizarre. I was reading it thinking IHateChelseaIHateChelseaIHateChelsea until I realised, quite suddenly, that I didn't.
I hope you love it at as much as I did! ♥
SAZ <3 HOW'S THAT REVIEW COMING ALONG?
DeleteYou'll finish TtEN soon I know! You won't be able to put it down once you start :D
YAY ANOTHER SPEECHLESS LOVER! I've only started on Saving June and it's already really good!
I hope I love it too :)
I finished Unrave Me review! Which... oh... yes. YOU KNOW :D
DeleteI am loving TtEN like KDGDFHJSAF!
Hannah is AMAZING ♥
I loveeeed Speechless!! Its so moving and confusing and brilliant. Like Sarah says I hated chelsea for most of the book then BAM I didn't and it was confusing and grea and wonderful.

EEEEEE Jazz! SO MANY AMAZING BOOKS! I'm SO SO SO anxious to read Through the Ever Night, particularly after reading your review! I haven't read Undeadly but I've read Speechless (LOVED IT!), Confessions of an Angry Girl, Level 2(liked it!) and Something Like Normal (love how you got the hardback copy!).
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all the books and happy reading! ♥

DeleteThank you for the follow!
I like the concept behind Level 2 as well so I hope I like it :o
Speechless is SO good! I hope you love it :)
ReplyDeleteAll you Speechless lovers woah!
DeleteI REALLY hope I love it now ;D

ANOTHER Speechless lover. Gosh it better be amazing haha, my expectations are sky high now :D
DeleteThanks for the follow!
Jaz!!!! So many fabulous blogs - my jaw literally dropped at the awesomeness XD Veronica Rossi's books - OMG, I still need to read the first, I'm such a hopeless person... everyone loves those books and I'm like, 'Nope, haven't read them...' while cowering in fear of being reprimanded for not picking them up. Something Like Normal - WANT WANT WANT... And Level 2 - that's the book that's written by a book blogger, right? And yay for Speechless and Confessions of an Angry Girl <3 They are both in my TBR pile... wait... we could do a read-along for one of these books, or both? (Only if you could handle my fan-girling and constant gushing - I've heard they're both amazing reads!)
ReplyDeleteFantastic haul, Jaz <3 Enjoy them ALL!
Beverleyyyyyyyy you need to read UtNS so badly omg!!! I have another friend who recommended it to me last year and SHE still hasn't read it >.> you'll love it I swear :D not judging you by the way haha!
DeleteYES SLN! I've heard so many great things about it so I hope I like it :D
Yeah Level 2 is written by a book blogger and I've heard mixed things about it but the concept is good.
YES LET'S DO A READ-ALONG! THAT SOUNDS SO COOL. But you'll have to bear with my snail pace as I'm gonna be extremely busy from next week onwards ;x
