Stacking the Shelves #20

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've been EXTREMELY busy lately so I haven't had a chance to post a STS in ages. My weekends have either been filled with homework/group work (I'm actually behind in my other subject because of this 1 subject Q_Q), 21sts or concerts (you should ask me about those if you like Kpop *winks*).

Basically I've accumulated well over 30 books in this 6 week period since my last STS so there are A LOT of books. And I've actually already read a few of these because it's been so long LOL

(All books are genres within YA unless otherwise stated)

Bought:

Ebooks

 

• Not Quite a Husband by Sherry Thomas (Historical Romance) - I have no idea why I bought this other than I wanted to see her writing style because everybody was talking about The Burning Sky. So why didn't I just buy The Burning Sky? Because I heard she was famous for her romance novels so I wanted to try this out. It was pretty decent O_O She has REALLY good writing 3/5
• Killing Sarai (In the Company of Killers #1) by J.A. Redmerski (Contemporary/New Adult) - idk I like JA's writing; I loved The Edge of Never by her.
