Stacking the Shelves (7)

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews!


Here is what I received this week in the mail.


For Review:
God Save The Queen by Kate Locke via Hachette Book Group – very excited for this title, but no idea if I won this somewhere or if they just saw it on my wishlist. Either way, thank you HBG! Oh also, this book is a hardcover book without a dust jacket - it's a cute little book - just bigger than a paperback yet smaller than a traditional hardcover. LOVE IT!

Won:
Thank you so much, this book has been on my wishlist for a little while now. So excited to read it!

Bought:
My pre-order of This Is Not A Testby Courtney Summers came in on Friday. I'm super excited to read this one. Will be getting to it in July for the Canadian Reading Challenge.

Gifted:
Random Magic by Sasha Soren (signed copy) – this was a gift as I am participating in a vlog blog tour for Random Magic. I had already reviewed the book a while ago and used my copy as a giveaway copy when I was unable to order one via Amazon, so Sasha graciously sent me a replacement copy so that I can use it in my vlog. Thank you Sasha!

FRENZY magazine from HCCFrenzy – after reading some great reviews about a recent HCCFrenzy event that some of my favourite Canadian bloggers attended, I learned that I could request my very own copy of this new magazine and I jumped at the chance to get my own copy. Harper Collins Canada also sent along a cute postcard and some Divergent Faction temporary tattoos. Thank you HCCFrenzy!

Borrowed/Library:
Celebratori by Tori Spelling – this one is about party planning and looks great (hoping to get some great ideas for wedding decor).

Happy Accidents by Jane Lynch – this is a memoir written by Jane and I couldn't resist reading about the lady who plays the craziest character on GLEE! (Yes I have a thing for Glee, it's my guilty pleasure).

Anne of Green Gables by LMMontgomery (audiobook) – I borrowed this one from the library to help me participate in the Canadian Reading Challenge. And sadly, most of you will freak when you hear that I have never read Anne of Green Gables, EVER. I know – I'm a Canadian, so I should have read this at some point right? Well I just never got around to doing it, until now. Wish me luck.

So what books did you add to your shelves this week?

  6. I think I'm the only person on this plant who has read This Is Not A Test and not loved it. I may have to give it a reread and see what I missed? Because I really don't know why I just didn't love it. I hope that you do end up loving it!!

    Great haul! =) Happy reading!
