Stacking The Shelves (2)


This week is the official launch for Stacking The Shelves... since last week was Tynga wanting to spread her love of books and sharing her mailbox with us. Now it has grown to people all over wanting to participate in it. So check out this page for all the details and guidelines. I chose to support this version of mailbox posts, because I love supporting fellow Canadians on their blogs. So cheers to everyone and remember just have fun!

 No review books this week. I might actually have a chance to get caught up, maybe.

BOUGHT:
-Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter - really looking forward to this second installment (check out my review for The Goddess Test)
-Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (from used bookstore) - I have heard a lot about this series so thought I'd give it a try

WON:
-Personalized copy of Yours, Mine and Ours by MaryJanice Davidson (and a bookmark) - won via Dream
-SIGNED copy of The Book of (Even More) Awesome by Neil Pasricha - won via PenguinCanada (check out my review for The Book of Awesome)
-Angels Gather Here pen during Linda Poitevin's Twitter Party - promo for 2nd book in the Grigori Legacy
GIFTED:
-bookmarks/post card from Janni Lee Simner (love her Faerie series - check out my reviews for Bones of Faerie and Faerie Winter)

FREE:  (all from Amazon - see my KINDLE DEALS post)
-Jenny Pox by JL Bryan
-Glamour by Penelope Fletcher
-Frey by Melissa Wright
-Elemental by Brigid Kemmerer
-The Emerald Talisman by Brenda Pandos
-The Vampire Hunter's Daughter by Jennifer Malone Wright
-Glimpse by Stacey Wallace Benefiel

So tell me how you are stacking your shelves this week? What new books or swag did you receive this past week?

      They sure are - especially when you didn't think you'd even have a chance at winning. :)

    I hope you enjoy Halfway to the grave more than I did, Chrystal. Personally I liked the first book in her spinoff series, First Drop of Crimson, way more :) Enjoy your new books and oh yes, signed copies! You're so lucky. I'm very curious abt. MJD's vampire series.

      Good to know. Sometimes I either really like a series or NOT. I'm hoping I'll like this one, but there are so many others I'm interested in so not too worried if book one doesn't do anything for me. Maybe I will check out that spinoff series though.

      I love MJD's Queen Betsy Series. I just finished her most recent one, but haven't written my review yet. So I'm hoping to enjoy other books by her too.

      I'll probably read Goddess Interrupted from this pile first, but it will be a few weeks before I get to it. I have a huge pile of books for review for the month of May - I'll try squeezing it into the mix though. :)

      Off to check out your blog! :) Thanks for stopping by.

      Thanks Michele! There are a ton of great KINDLE freebies all the time and I don't have a kindle, but I realized I can put the application on my laptop and still access them for free! :)

      As for the Book of Awesome.... my brother loves this kinda stuff and got me into it. :) So it was exciting to win a signed copy.

      Cheers!
