Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews & Reading Reality
what I have been up to:
Apart from spending money on books and bookish things (seriously, I’ve bought so many things the last couple of weeks) I’ve been mostly spending my time catching up on reading and going to the cinema.
I went to see the latest book-to-movie adaptation Love, Simon which was absolutely amazing. I also went to see Blockers (so funny), A Quiet Place (very unnerving) and Ghost Stories (which was disappointing).
books bought:
I (ahem) may have gone a little bit mad with the book buying but I can’t feel too badly about it since I got so many great books!
The Deathsniffer’s Assistant by Kate McIntyre | The Time Timeseer’s Gambit by Kate McIntyre
This series looks so good – I can’t believe I haven’t come across it before because it is totally a ‘Brin’ series!
The Heartreader’s Secret by Kate McIntyre | A Fashionable Indulgence by K.J. Charles
A Crack in Everything by L.H. Cosway | How the Light Gets In by L.H. Cosway
When Everything is Blue by Laura Lascarso | His Truth by Riley Hart
When Everything Is Blue and His Truth were both so, so good guys. Highly recommend both of them!
The Silver Cage by Anonymous | Every Single Secret by Emily Carpenter
Pieces of Me by Melanie Hansen | See My Words by Melanie Hansen
I really loved this duology – so happy to have found a new m/m author to read!
Point of Contact by Melanie Hansen | Fake Out by Eden Finley
The Wicker King by K. Ancrum | The Legend of the Golden Raven by K. Ancrum
I’ve heard so many good things about The Wicker King – can’t wait to read it! It looks like something I would really enjoy since it’s angst aplenty!
A Wish Upon the Stars by T.J. Klune | The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
I read (and loved!) A Lightning Struck Heart, the first book in the series but I held off reading books 2 and 3 until book 4: A Wish Upon the Stars was out! I already own The Cruel Prince but I wanted an eBook copy as well.
vintage books bought:
Discovered by Yvonne Greene | Rising Star by Yvonne Greene
A trip down memory lane with Kelly Blake, Teen Model! It’s been years since I read this series. I couldn’t resist when I stumbled across a lot of the full six book series on eBay.
Hard to Get by Yvonne Greene | Headliners by Yvonne Greene
Double Trouble by Yvonne Greene | Paris Secrets by Yvonne Greene
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton | Tex by S.E. Hinton
I already own The Outsiders but i couldn’t resist this film tie-in copy! Loving the cover!
review books
I also picked up quite a few review copies which look really, really good. I was trying to cut down on ARCs but I just couldn’t resist these beauts!

I’m excited to see Love, Simon. I don’t know when I’ll have time to see it, but hopefully soon. I hope you have a good week and enjoy your new books!
Wow lots of good books this week. I’m going to have to check some of them out. Have a wonderful week!
