Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. I was good and didn't buy any books for myself this week, although I did have to buy some for last month's giveaways! But I did have a pretty good haul this week other than that.
Physical books:

I won the first two from the publisher. I've wanted to read Jackaby for awhile, so now to get it and an ARC of its sequel, I'm so excited! So thanks to Algonquin Young Readers. The Curse of Jacob Tracy is an ARC by a friend of one of the teachers at my school where I am a librarian. The author is going to come talk to our students in December. And when I read the synopsis of the book on Goodreads, I asked if I could read it as well! The last book is another successful trade on Twitter!
E-galleys:
All of these lovelies were on Edelweiss this past week. And I know I said I was being careful about how many I took, but as I looked at the weeks they were published, I either had only one other egalley for that week, or none. So I had to grab these. I mean don't you just love the cover of The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever? And while I wasn't a fan of Michael Grant's latest Messenger of Fear series, I loved his Gone series, and this is a historical fiction, so it sounds really good. I do still need to read book 3 and 4 I think in the Unwind series as well.
Free e-books:
All free from Amazon this week.
So I've got a lot of new egalleys, although they're all pretty much not out till 2016, so I've got a little while to read them. What books did you add to your shelves this past week?
Nice wins Lisa and those covers are lovely. I participate in Series Ender, but never remember to update my progress. It is horrible. I love NOLA and hope you have an amazing time!!
ReplyDeleteI'm always bad about updating my challenges. Need to work on it. :-) I can't wait for my trip. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI like the idea of Series Ender but I have trouble keeping up with the five or so challenges I choose this year.
ReplyDeleteI agree that sometimes the time only allows two reviews and then we have to push to four another week to make up for it.
Walk on Earth a Stranger caught my eye. I hope you enjoy all of your new books. I keep forgetting to check Edelweiss - I have a hard enough time resisting titles at NetGalley!
I hope you have a great trip - sounds like fun! My DH and I are going on cruise starting Friday so I really need to start preparing posts so they can be scheduled ahead. Otherwise I have to pay for the extra internet time. :-(
Happy reading, reviewing and touristing!
I totally understand, I'm bad about challenges. But the series ender fits in with my TBR pile challenge, so I decided to go ahead with it. Lately I've seen more on Edelweiss that I want than Netgalley. And I don't freak about my "percentage" with Edelweiss as much. That's what I'm thinking for the trip. I normally would bring my laptop, but not sure I want to worry about it this time. Have a great trip, and thanks for visiting!
DeleteI absolutely loved Court of Fives! It's gotten mixed reviews thus far, but I personally thought it was great. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a fantastic week, and good luck with reviews and whatnot. :)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I'm excited to read it, hoping I'll enjoy it like you did! Thanks for returning the visit!
DeleteI find myself wondering if I'll ever get all these old reviews written and uploaded! I hate writing reviews as each one takes me AGES to perfect. *grumbles* But I'm trying to get a few done today. Enjoy your reading this week!
ReplyDeleteI don't spend probably as much time as I should on reviews, probably why none of mine ever get picked for blurbs on books, but that's okay. I blog to have fun and talk about books like I would with friends or my students, not to get published. :-) I have several to do, will probably have to do them tomorrow if I have time! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat's great!! I hope you have a terrific time in New Orleans. :)

Thanks! I can't wait to go.
DeleteI received Shade Me too! Sounds like a really cool concept and I love the cover. Happy reading =)
ReplyDeleteAnd I've enjoyed other books by Jennifer Brown, so I'm excited because of that as well. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI CANNOT WAIT to read Revenge and the Wild! I was so happy (and bit surprised) when i got that one! Also i can't wait to hear about what you think of Shade Me. It looks really interesting. So many good books! I hope we love them all!!!
ReplyDelete<3 Britt @ please feed the bookworm
Me too, can't wait to get to both of them! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYou are the second person I have seen this week to have won Jackaby and the sequel! I really need to read Jackaby because I have had it on my ererader for ages! Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the The Local Muse
I saw it posted on another blog as well. So excited to get it! Just can't wait till I get time to read it now. Thanks for returning the stop!
DeleteI enjoyed Court of Fives. Always wanted to read Jackaby. The others are mostly new to me. Enjoy them all! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about Court of Fives! Can't wait to get to it. Thanks for returning the visit!
DeleteOh my gosh! You are going to New Orleans. I am so jealous. I have been wanting to go there for ever. I hope you have a fantastic time and that you go visit a few bookish places.
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited. Not sure what kinds of bookish places I'll find, but I hope I do! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThe court of fives is in my TBR pile!! Can't wait to read your review of curse of Jacob Tracy! :)

I can't wait to read it, but the review will be closer to the pub date. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteGreat haul! I hope you enjoy them. Have a great time in New Orleans! It sounds fantastic! :D x
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't wait to go!
DeleteShade Me & Revenge and the Wild look really good! I bought Court of Fives myself a while back, but I haven't read it yet. I'm really excited for that one. Hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Boundless Bookaholic
I'm very excited for all of them. Can't wait till I actually have time to read them as well! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWow, FABULOUS haul! I am so excited about SO many of these. I pre ordered UnBound, just because I don't want to have to review it :) And Revenge and the Wild sounds AMAZING, as does The Cresswell Plot. I also won Jackaby and Beastly Bones, that is too funny! Hope you enjoy these, and have an amazing time in New Orleans! I have never been either, but it seems SO fun!
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
Yeah, that's the only thing, sometimes it is nice to not have to worry about when you are going to review. Although having the deadline with an expiration date on an egalley usually helps me! I can't wait to visit New Orleans and see what all the fuss is about. Thanks for visiting me!
DeleteJackaby series is one I do want to try so I hope you enjoy those books! Ooh, and Shade Me was an impulse kind of review copy I received because I wasn't looking for it. But I do have Front Lines and Unbound in common with you and I LOVE Michael Grant so I was looking forward to those like crazy.
ReplyDeleteI love those impulse review books! Same here about Michael Grant. Thanks for stopping by!
