Stacking the Shelves--The BIG One

 

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.

This was an okay week all things considered. Work is picking up steadily which does make the day go by quicker! Last Saturday I had a blast at Anderson's YAM Event! A Young Adult author event held in the Midwest, hence YAM! It's about a 4 hour drive give or take a handful of minutes and I spent the whole day there! The high school they hold it in is super nice! It's huge. I once again found myself hanging around the publisher tables more so than the panels as this time around there were book giveaway drops sort of during the panel times and I thought I'd rather have some books than sit down again after my long drive! Lol. I'll be sharing that stack below here today! I got back at a halfway decent hour, but then stubbornness had me running a few errands since it was still daylight out and the stores were open! Knocked a few things off my to do list to make Sunday easier! But I was still kind of tired when I did finally come back home and just didn't have the mental capacity to add the picture and words into my post that was already scheduled! So far my August is looking pretty quiet for signings! I do have one scheduled in two weeks and then another one towards the end of the month so those will be fun! Trying to get caught up on my Brigid Kemmerer titles since she's who I will see in 2 weeks!

Onto my haul! Here's what I got this week and last Saturday:

These were all ARCs! A few I think are out already or they were in the bookstore on site, so possibly we had early access to them but these are ARCs!

A Beautiful and Terrible Murder by Claire M. Andrews 
The Wicked Lies of Habren Faire by Anna Fiteni
The Crimson Throne by Sarah Raasch & Beth Revis
Dream by the Shadows by Logan Karlie
Bitten by Jordan Stephanie Gray
Never Ever by Sue Lynn Tan
Death in the Dark by Bryce Moore
Now She's Dead by Roselyn Clarke
 Secrets of the Blue Hand Girls by Rowana Miller

Then I picked up some swag! Some of it was exclusive swag from The Novl who would release a password on Instagram and you had to be quick to get it in to obtain the prize! Another reason I hung out near the publisher tables! Lol.

lots of stickers
some bookmarks
a few pins off to the right

Then this week, I received some of my B&N preorders:

Heartbroken by Serena Valentino
Forged in Blood by Said Kincaid
We Won't All Survive by Kate Alice Marshall
Asylum Hotel by Juliet Blackwell

Of Rime and Ruin by Liesl West--SIGNED! This a The Beauty and the Beast retelling with a mermaid twist!

Shadow by Kara Swanson--I'd been meaning to buy this one for ages so I could binge the duology. Recently I could've sworn I saw her name listed at an upcoming event but cannot remember where it was and found no answers on her site. I'll remember eventually...hopefully! Lol.

Then I got my Fairy Loot version of The Deathly Grimm! When it comes to duologies, it's hard not to buy the matching set!

The Deathly Grimm by Kathryn Purdie

And finally, one of my errands had me at TJ Maxx and in that dreaded checkout line where you find all those last minute goodies, I saw this and I couldn't pass it up...even though I rarely use mugs! I will find a drink for it at some point!

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