Stacking the Shelves--The Alchemy of Secrets Edition: Part 5

 

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 down. Not really counting down to anything. Holidays are coming yes, so not prepared! Trying to buy things when I can, but also trying to hold out for Black Friday sales when I think some of the things I want to pick up could go on sale, but since I want to wait it out, they probably won't! Lol. Shockingly there weren't any new releases for me this week, but I've got a pretty pile coming next week...pending B&N ships them in a timely manner and they don't get lost of rerouted! Lol. But yeah. Otherwise things were pretty quiet. Work is slowly winding down, still get spurts of busyness, but nowhere near the quality of earlier this month...or last month, so that's a relief! And you're probably wondering how many more AOS editions of these I'll have...there should just be one more incoming! For now at least! ;)


Here's what I got this week:



Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber--my wayward Indigo edition FINALLY made it! So much hassle to get this one what with tariffs and postal strikes! But it's here!
Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber--GOLDSBORO edition! This one is sooo pretty! Love the edges!
Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber--Fairy Loot edition! Luckily I had a friend who didn't want hers so I saved her a skip by buying it off of her! She even got me the page overlays, but got it in the second round, so those will come next year!





Then I got the Fairy Loot YA book of the month! I had already bought the US version, but thought the UK cover was so pretty so I thought I would get the FL one. Sadly the alternate cover is just a little meh, maybe it will be better once I've read it and maybe "see" it better. But the flipside of the cover is an alternate color scheme of the OG UK one so I can always use that if I don't like the other one later. Lol.



Then I got my Pages of the Night order from Britnee's latest drop! I had hoped my fake cake decor pieces would've arrived yesterday as well, but I'm worried my PO might have put them in "the send it to another PO" pile as it came to them at 6am yesterday and didn't go out for delivery. So I'm hoping I get it Monday if anything! I had quite a few Nightbucks piled up so I was trying to spend as much of them as I could and didn't do too bad after I bought these and placed a quick custom order! Lol. I'm saving myself into the poor house as my family likes to say!


I bought the light up Tella! Really, I just loved her dress! Tella's blue butterfly dress is my favorite, so yeah...I paid a pretty penny for her but at least I had Nightbucks! Lol
Then I bought the Scarlett that Britnee sculpted with the dress! When I saw the sneak peek I was like I HAVE TO HAVE IT! It's SO PRETTY!




Then I got some preorder incentives:



The art print for Spellcaster! Still need to read it but it's so pretty!


THANK YOU MIRA Books!




The Alchemy of Secrets Regal Hotel keychain! I had preordered like 5-6 copies of AoS so I had my sister fill out a form as well and have an incentive gift be sent to her house and I got THE REGAL! Was super excited for this one!



THANK YOU Flatiron Books!
