The rules are simple and it is a really fun way to showcase your books and see what other bloggers are excited about this week! Not to mention the fact that it is a good way to interact with and get to know other bloggers!
here are the books i added to my shelves this week:
I was on a bit of a vintage kick this week. I used to be a collector of various things: Living Dead Dolls, Action Figures etc. but due to lack of space I had to give up most of my collections. However, there is always room for books so I have made it a goal to collect vintage young adult books and eventually review them here on the blog. I really do enjoy revisiting old favourites and also discovering books I missed out on the first time round.
bought:
I won the second book in a giveaway (more details below) but I had to make sure I picked up the first book as I would never start reading a series at the second book! Two Boys Kissing was on sale for Kindle and I immediately snapped it up. It’s been on my wishlist for ages. I read a lot of Caroline B. Cooney as a teen but I honestly cannot remember reading the Losing Christina series although the story does sound familiar (maybe one I have read but forgotten??). I picked up the collection to check it out anyway as it looks really interesting.
The Midnight Club is a re-released version – I just love how retro the cover is!! I was able to pick this up new which was a bit of a bonus. I also picked up another couple of Christopher Pike books (used) including The Wicked Heart and Whisper of Death which I remember really enjoying as a teenager.
for review:
The review copies I got this week are certainly varied! I picked up Stripped with the Vampire and The Veil because I was in the mood for a bit of urban fantasy (not read any for ages). I also picked up Darkhaven which is straight-up fantasy – it looks really intriguing!
I love Emily Gee’s writing so I just had to request The Blood Curse. I also love Kelley York and was over the moon at getting approved for her latest novel. Song of the Sea Maid also looks really interesting – I just love the cover and the premise just drew me in as well. Can’t wait to start it.
giveaways:
Thanks to the lovely Diane @ Diane’s Book Blog for hosting this giveaway and to the author Michele Barrow-Belisle – I am really looking forward to reading this series.

I used to read some of these books when I was younger-I’d forgotten about Caroline B Cooney! I was addicted to the Cheerleaders series for a while. Ah good memories! Enjoy your books!
I remember the Cheerleaders series well – good times lol. 😉 t’s been fun collecting a lot of these books again. 🙂
Congrats on winning a book!! YAY. I love winning stuff although it doesn’t happen to me very often anymore, hehe. Zomg, I love the cover of Fire & Ice. I’m a sucker for a pretty looking dress. *nods*
My Stacking the Shelves!
Thanks! I am always way excited when I win a book – it always makes my day!!
Fire & Ice does have a stunning cover – I would looove to have a dress like that. 😉
This list has made me feel really nostalgic. I used to love reading Christopher Pike! I loved Caroline B Cooney too. I hope you enjoy your books Brin!
Thanks! I think I live in the past sometimes – I always look back at my past reads and want to re-read them all! I loved Christopher Pike as a teen and felt so grown-up reading his books (which is strange because I read Stephen King at the same time which are far more ‘adult’). Caroline B. Cooney was another favourite. I loved her ‘Dance’ series and also The Face on the Milk Carton. 🙂
Awesome haul this week. I always like winning books. It makes me happy. The Veil has a great cover.
Grace @ Books of Love
Thanks Grace! I love winning books too – I always get really excited. 🙂
Awesome haul (and swag)! I would love to go to BEA someday! Hope you enjoy all of your lovely books. 😀
Great haul! You got a lot of great books to read! The Blood Curse cover is epic.
Thanks! The cover for Blood Curse is awesome – the whole series has had really stunning covers. 🙂
Wow! Nice haul! I hope you enjoy them all 🙂
Thanks Sofia! I had a lot of fun picking these books up this week. Hope you enjoy your books. Mistwood has a really interesting cover. 🙂
Those Christopher Pike covers are pretty awesome. I miss seeing illustrated covers like that.
I know right? I miss the old style covers too! The Pike covers were always something else (the US covers were always more interesting than the UK ones). 🙂
Oh, I remember the Pike books from when I was a teenager. Me and my friends thought they were such a grown-up thing to read. 🙂 I’m amused at myself looking back.
Lol – I was totally the same (none of my friends read his books though so I really didn’t have anyone to share them with). The plots are pretty crazy when you re-read them. 🙂
I actually finished Modern Monsters a few weeks ago, it was my first Kelley York book and I really, really enjoyed it! I really want to read Two Boys Kissing, I’ve heard great things about it 😀
Happy reading!
Kelley York is amazeballs! I am really glad to hear you enjoyed Modern Monsters. I would highly recommend reading Hushed and Suicide Watch – they are both pretty powerful.
I have had Two Boys Kissing on my TBR list for absolutely ages – it was about time I finally took the plunge and bought it lol. 😉
Hope you enjoy yyour books this week. I very nearly bought Tin Lily as well – it looks really good. 🙂
I hope you enjoy Modern Monsters and Two Boys Kissing because those are two I’ve wanted to read for a while! I’ll definitely be looking forward to your reviews. Have a good week. 🙂
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Thanks Krystianna, I’m really excited about reading them. I think they have both pushed their way up my TBR! Enjoy your books – congrats on winning None of the Above – it looks sooooo awesome. 😀
Yay for winning books!! The cover of Modern Monsters looks really interesting. Great haul!
Thanks! I really get excited when I win something! Modern Monsters does have a really awesome cover. I love Kelley York so I am pretty positive I will enjoy it. 🙂 Hope you enjoy your books and yay for winning All the Rage!! 🙂
Your book haul looks awesome this week, congrats on winning those books 🙂 The Veil sounds exciting though! Happy reading.
Thanks! I am pretty excited about my acquisitions this week. Your haul is amazing though – so many awesome titles! I have recently read Uprooted and A Court of Thorns and Roses and they were absolutely incredible. Hope you enjoy all of your books. 🙂
I’m so glad to see Christopher Pike here! He’s my favorite author ever. Nice post 🙂
Thanks! I love Christopher Pike too. 🙂
