Stacking the Shelves--The BEST Week Ever Edition!

 

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.

Another week and another blur! Lol. Not too much happened this week either, on the normal side of life at least. Work is still slow, but steady with the occasional pickup here and there. I know I keep saying this, but I'm basically in the calm before the storm and I want to document this for myself! Lol. The BEST part of the week was when I got an ARC of my MOST ANTICIPATED read for 2025! Yes, I got Stephanie Garber's adult debut early and have naturally already devoured it! It was amazing and was honestly the best part of my week! Lol. So I was glad for the slowness at work as it allowed me to sneak away for some reading time here and there! Lol. And another shock was when my B&N order came yesterday! I thought it wouldn't arrive until Monday as I got an email from USPS saying so. And I guess B&N originally told me it would arrive Saturday and I only thought it was Friday as that's supposed to be the usual date, but hey it actually arrived on time! So that's a plus compared to last week and yes, I had thought I was out of pre-orders for June, but turns out I was wrong on that front too! Lol.

Here's what I got this week:

A Girl Walks into the Forest by Madeline Roux

Then for review from the publisher--and what totally made my week more bearable--I received:

Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber (ARC)

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO MUCH Flatiron Books!!

Then I received my preorder gift for The Shadow Bride! I was just starting to wonder about this one when it turned up!

it's a little rose charm!

THANK YOU Epic Reads!

And then most of this came last week, but I was out when it arrived and I had already written up my StS post at the time, so I saved it for this week! This is my latest order with Pages of the Night! I went a little overboard on her Shelf Decor drop because of all the gorgeous Caraval pieces AND I placed a custom order as well!

I ordered one of the apple trinket boxes and chose the white apple as I felt like Jacks ate that one the most! Lol.
a Welcome to Caraval sign--totally love this and cannot wait to put it in my Caraval room once I find my own place.
Then I ordered some character cards and got a bonus sticker!

I also ordered the Caraval trinket box because I LOVE it! It's so perfect! It arrived separately from the previous stuff hence why it's in its own pic!

Then because I spent so much I got the bonus hand bag as a free gift!

Then this was my custom order, which I've pictured on Instagram already, but oh well! Lol.

I ordered a custom tiered cake set! I had loved Britnee's fake cake boxes she was making but naturally wanted one that was more Caraval related! I couldn't decide on which "cover" to go with, so I talked to Britnee about making a tiered layer cake! These are all separated but can be stacked as such! They each have the colors of their designated cover adn when you zoom in there are little trinkets with cover symbols, like yellow hearts, red spades, and of course the Caraval star on the top! 

Then I ordered a mini doll that's a Tella with fairy wings to go next to a mushroom house I previously bought! I plan to post that on Instagram likely this week! Lol. But I thought the keychain Pops would make the perfect doll size to go next to my mushroom house and it is a perfect fit!

And that was it for me this week! What all did you get?
