Stacking the Shelves--The Super Spectacular Mega Haul!

 

Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks! The meme is now hosted by Reading Reality.


What even was this week? Lol. I know I keep saying that lately, but the weeks have been a bit dull lately. Which again, not too much of a bad thing, I prefer calm instead of chaos anyway. Although, as I write this I am running on low fumes. I got very little sleep Thursday night. Tried to go to bed early Friday but it got to that point where I was SO exhausted, I still could not fall asleep and then I still woke up in the middle of the night and then again a few times after that. And that horrible, awful, dreadful, no-good DST is next week and I just know I will be EVEN MORE TIRED after that. Perhaps this is my body already rejecting losing the hour of sleep/life. Lol. The week was pretty uneventful until yesterday when I went to see Kate Alice Marshall again! I think she's come here three years in a row now? Which is just awesome as she was always one author I thought I'd never get to meet after I read and adored Rules for Vanishing! I got quite a lot more books than expected this week, as my Amazon order from weeks ago was FINALLY shipped and delivered. Of course, one random bookmark was separated from the herd, so now I have to hope they don't damage it in whatever envelope it was put in! Fingers crossed!


Here's what I did get this week:



The Light Under the Shadow Wing by Amanda Bouchet--had a panic attack when I saw B&N shipped this in a paper envelope instead of the usual cardboard one as the mail carrier shoved it into our mailbox haphazardly like and I couldn't get it out of the box right away! Luckily it survived but that was the worst 2 minutes of my day by far! Lol.
The Beasts We Raise by D.L. Taylor--still need to read the first book, but as it's a duology (I think) I was likely wise to wait! Lol.
Make Me a Liar by Melissa Landers--been on my Amazon list for ages and when I was creating an order to get the next book listed here, I threw this in for my shipping!
Living Dead Girl by Rachel Vincent--been on my list for 3+ years now, always meant to download it but never got around to it. But since Rachel is coming next month I decided to treat myself to the actual book!
The Girls Before by Kate Alice Marshall--SIGNED!



And while all my special edition Fairy Loot books keep getting lost somehow, I did receive my February monthly box. This was another one that I was a little meh on, but might give it a read at some possible point.


Now I just need FL to respond to my follow-up email regarding my second lost order. I guess you can say "luckily" I am not the only one who is missing the latest two orders that I am missing, as a friend of mine who lives in the same area of states is waiting on hers too. So it's like their shipping partner lost a great big batch of boxes for these particular books. And yes, my anxiety is SKY HIGH as one of these missing orders is my Caraval set!




Then I won a contest on Instagram from Bramble and it arrived super quick and I am SO excited to read this one:


A Curse of Beasts and Magic by Jeaniene Frost (ARC)


THANK YOU Bramble!!



Then a surprise review book also popped up in my mailbox this week:


A Thousand Perfect Lies by Monica Murphy (ARC)


THANK YOU Mayhem Books!



Then this week I received other books for review that I had put requests in:



East of Envy by Nikki St. Crowe (ARC)--was super stoked to get this one as I just finished the ARC of the first book! 
It Came from Neverland by Cynthia Pelayo (ARC)
The Wretched Divine by Adalyn Grace (ARC)


THANK YOU Bramble, Crooked Lane Books, & Feiwel!



Then I ended up being one of the lucky readers to get the pin for The Wolf and the Crown of Blood! I remember this preorder offer seemed more like a contest and I was shocked to find that I won!!


THANK YOU Bloomsbury!!



Then I got these fun stickers at the Kate Alice Marshall signing:







And then finally, here's one of the bookmarks I bought in my Amazon order! Just have to hope the second one arrives unscathed!


I mean, how perfect is this? Funnily enough, I do have one that says Introverted but willing to discuss books! Lol. Guess that was before we coined this term!




And that was my pretty spectacular haul this week! What did you get?
