Stacking the Shelves - December 22nd, 2013


Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected.  This was a pretty light week.  And actually, I know that I have to stop entering all these giveaways.  I keep getting books, that yes I do want to read, but my TBR pile is never getting any smaller. I'm beginning to feel a bit like a hoarder with the piles of books in my house!  Well, first I have to share a really cool prize I won that arrived this week:

Won from Epic Reads:


Now, rarely am I able to watch the Epic Reads live videos.  But I've been fortunate in the past month or so to be able to watch a couple.  The last time I watched, I was one of the winners of the *book shimmy* bag from tweeting along with the show.  When the package arrived at my house this week, there was a book wrapped up inside the bag!  Patrick Carman is an author I really do like and have even met.  While I haven't yet read his new book Pulse, I now have it reserved at the library, so that I can read that, and then read this cool ARC I got of the sequel to it, Tremor.  So thanks to the Epic Reads girls!!

E-books purchased:










The first one, Eleanor and Park, I've heard so many great things about, and it was a really good deal for the e-book so I downloaded it to give it a try.  The second one, Brooke, I went ahead and downloaded, and finished reading this week so that I would have another review for the week.  As someone pointed out on one of my giveaways, I need to maybe do more reviews.  The third one, Forgotten Lyrics, is an e-novella I didn't even know existed.  When I saw it, I had to download it, and will have to fit it in.  I loved the series, which I thought got better and better, so it is exciting to revisit it.  The fourth one, City of Dark Magic, is one that I saw in a Nook Daily Deal email.  Although I haven't read this author (or authors as I've learned) before, this one sounds like it might be good.  
I've got several e-galleys I've requested, both from Edelweiss and Netgalley, and I'm waiting to hear if I'm approved.  I really hope I am!!
So, what will you be adding to your shelf this week?
