Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, sharing with you our excitement for our newest titles and maybe have you discover a new book in the process!
This was a pretty good week! I picked up a few new books! Had yet another harrowing experience of ordering one book online and having it come with a ripped cover! I mean it's the most upsetting thing ever when you get that in the mail! Thankfully it was a B&N book so I was able to go up to the store and exchange it! Whew! Although for some reason this time I had to pay the sales tax which hadn't been included before. That didn't happen the last time I had to do an exchange but .31 is no big deal to get an unripped cover!
So here's what I bought:
Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton--yeah...I found myself needing to just buy the US hardback too to have too mismatching/matching sets! LOL!
Scooby Apocalypse #11 by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, Howard Porter, Dale Eaglesham, Jan Duursema
Tale as Old as Time by Charles Solomon--this was the one that came ripped! And because it's SOOO gorgeous I needed an undamaged copy! This is actually an updated version as they've added new info regarding the new live action film!
Then in an awesome trade with Danni @LilRedBookshelf I was able to get the remaining "hidden" UK cover of Caraval!! I was super excited to be able to own all 5!! LOL!
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
THANK YOU again Danni!!
For review I received:
Torn by Alyssa Rose Ivy (ARC)--already read and reviewed this one! LOVED it!!
Spectacle by Rachel Vincent (ARC)
THANK YOU Alyssa, Harlequin MIRA, and Netgalley!!
Woah you own 5 copies of Caraval? That's amazing! I didn't know there were special hardcover editions.
ReplyDeleteI loved Rachel Vincent's first book, so I'm excited about Spectacle. I hope you have a good week, Jessica and happy reading!
Yes..getting a ripped book cover in the mail horrible for book lovers! Hopefully they are sending a new one. Glad you are building your collection of Caraval.
ReplyDeleteI heard great things about Caraval. I don't know about the others. happy reading!
ReplyDeleteTraitor to the Throne was such an amazing book, I totally dont blame you. The Rachel Vincent book looks really good, I haven't read her books in a while.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul this week. Enjoy the week ahead.
Aneta @ Angelic Book Reviews
Nice books, hope you enjoy! I especially like the look of that Rachel Vincent one :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead, Jessica!
Awesome haul, I can't wait to hear what you think of Traitor to the Throne. I liked the first book so I think I will continue the series.

Ooo... looking forward to hearing what you make of Traitor to the Throne, which I personally think is even better than Rebel of the Sands. I'm fascinated by the Menagerie series as I like Rachel Vincent's writing - great book haul, Jessica:).
ReplyDeleteOoooh I've really been wanting that Beauty and the Beast book! I hadn't seen the cover yet. Very excited to read Traitor to the Throne too. Enjoy all your books :)
ReplyDeleteOoooo, Caraval hat edition! And Traitor to the Throne! I got that one too, even though the hardcovers won't match... sigh. It's still beautiful. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a fabulous week, Jessica. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I hope to get to Caraval next week. My daughter is reading it now but I gave her a deadline :) You got some nice new books this week. Sorry about the bother with the ripped cover but glad you got it worked out.
