Stacking the Shelves – a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews & Reading Reality
what I have been up to:
The snowy weather meant a couple of days away from work this week, which I put to good use by catching up with my reading. All in all, it was a win/win! It also allowed me the time to do more book-shopping which is a good thing for me (because, yay! books!) but not so much for my groaning bookshelves.
The only downside to the snowy weather is that I have been stuck indoors for the last couple of days. The food cupboards are also getting sparse because I do not fancy the walk to the shops and I have it on good authority that their shelves are pretty bare anyway. 😉
snowy weather = full bookshelves!
Lord of the White Hell: Book One by Ginn Hale | Lord of the White Hell: Book Two by Ginn Hale | Champion of the Scarlet Wolf: Book One by Gin Hale | Champion of the Scarlet Wolf: Book Two by Ginn Hale | Casket of Souls by Lynn Flewelling | Shards of Time by Lynn Flewelling | The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison | The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed | Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
Eagle-eyed readers of this blog may notice that I have bought the above series by Ginn Hale again. I had initially bought them on kindle but I prefer to own physical copies of all of my favourite books. I know I have only just read these but they have become firm favourites.
Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan | Untold by Sarah Rees Brennan | Unmade by Sarah Rees Brennan
…and I did the opposite with this series by Sarah Rees Brennan. I already own these book in paperback form but I took a notion to read them again (after finishing In Other Lands) and my copies are boxed away at the moment whilst I get my spare room re-organised. Ergo, I ended up buying the kindle versions too! They were going for £0.99 in the kindle store so it hasn’t been too deadly on my finances. 😉
The Prince’s Consort by Antonia Aquilante | The Artist’s Masquerade by Antonia Aquilante | The Scholar’s Heart by Antonia Aquilante
I have been wanting to read this series for awhile, so I ended up buying all five books! Hopefully it is as good as it looks. I love the cover art too.
The Sorcerer’s Guardian by Antonia Aquilante | The Dragon’s Devotion by Antonia Aquilante | The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
I also picked up Bound by a Dragon which looks like something I would really enjoy reading. I was also happy to get The Hazel Wood in a book box!
Wild by Adrienne Wilder | Color Me In by Riley Hart | The Forgotten Ones by Steena Holmes
Wild looks like a really harrowing read and I have enjoyed other books by the author so I’m sure I will like this one. I have read the first book Depth of Field so I couldn’t resist picking up Color Me In (grrr, I hate spelling it that way but that is the title, so….) The Forgotten Ones was my Kindle First choice this month and loooks really interesting.
Second Best by Helen Cavanagh | Too Young to Know by Elisabeth Ogilvie | Love to the Rescue by Deborah Kent
I couldn’t resist a wee Wildfire romance lot when it was going at a really great price on eBay! I’m happy to add these books to my (ever)increasing collection!
If Only… Anita Eires | The Name is ‘Zero’ by Lorna Read | Dangerous Love by Anthea Cohen
This lot of Heartlines books was also up for sale by the same seller so I just couldn’t resist! I haven’t read any of these before which is a bonus.
Kingdom Series Collection by Marie Hall | Free to Kill by Julie Mellon | The Faerie Prince by Rachel Morgan
A couple of free Kindle reads that look really interesting. I can never resist a freebie! I am especially intrigued by the Kingdom Series since I love retellings.
Beautiful Demons Books 1-3 by Sarra Cannon | Bound by a Dragon by Linda K. Hopkins | Sara’s Game by Ernie Lindsey
I love anything (and I mean ANYTHING) with Dragons so Bound by a Dragon was a must! The others look interesting too!
snowy weather = catch up with arc’s!
The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw | Graevale by Lynette Noni | The Right Thing to do at the Time by Dov Zeller
I was so chuffed to be approved for The Wicked Deep – it looks awesome! I also cannot wait to read Graevale – I have the first three books so I am looking forward to diving in!
The Art of Escaping by Erin Callahan | If I Tell You by Alicia Tuckerman | The Oddling Prince by Nancy Springer
I am really looking forward to The Art of Escaping and The Oddling Prince. If I Tell You also looks pretty darn amazing too. Totally spoiled for choice!

We haven’t had much snow so far this winter and then yesterday all of a sudden it was SNOWING. When it was supposed to be getting warmer. I was very insulted but then also yay snow. I also got The Art of Escaping and The Wicked Deep! And Eliza & Her Monsters is adorable and I hope you enjoy.
Looks like a pretty awesome haul! I love that cover of The Hazel Wood, and I need to get a copy of Eliza and her Monsters as well. Have heard it’s really good.
Reading is one the best things about snow days but I can understand not wanting to venture out. You have some great looking books and I’m going to have to check out some of the titles.
I’m glad you were able to get some reading done on your days off. I hope you enjoy your new books!
Oh I have The Wicked Deep on my wishlist-hope you like it- what a nice stash of books you have!!
Great haul! I am riding out the storm that took out our power at a friends. So surreal looking at all the downed trees and power lines cut in half. They say we won’t have power to our area till Wednesday!! Have a good Sunday!
