Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where bloggers share what they got throughout the week!
Ok, so I got a ton of books this week…Let me know what you think of my haul and then leave your own STS in the comments!
Bought:
Night Huntress #1-4 by Jeaniene Frost
Ok, So I bought the first book, got halfway through it and immediately went back to the bookstore to get whatever else they had of this series. IT. IS. SO. GOOD. It’s been on my to-read list for an eternity, and I had no idea what I was missing (AKA Bones). I’m on the third one right now, and I can just feel how depressing it’s going to be when I get to the end of the series. Anyway, if you guys love this series too and have suggestions for similar books, PLEASE put them in the comments. I’m pretty new to the adult UF/PNR genre.
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
I have heard super fantastic things about this book, so I’m uber excited to read it. Plus, dragons! A very underutilized idea in YA.
Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
This is a re-read, because I’m finally getting around to Through the Zombie Glass; apparently I had given my copy of Alice in Zombieland away, so I had to get it again to read it! I loved it the first time, can’t wait to read it again.
Library:
City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
I AM SO EXCITED TO READ THIS. I love this series, and I’m sad to see it end, but the reviews of this book are ridiculously great, so I can’t wait to hang out with Jace and Clary again!
Gone by Michael Grant
This was sort of on a whim; I don’t really know anything about this book, but people seem to like it, and it’s been on my to-read list for a while!
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
For a while last year it seemed like all people could talk about was how great Rainbow Rowell’s books are. I have yet to read any of them; I’m starting with Fangirl. Hope it’s as amazing as everyone says it is!
Unhinged by A.G. Howard
I’m pretty nervous about this book. I adored Splintered; but Jeb is the MOST irritating. Ever. And I mean, Morpheus has a lot of creepy issues as well. So I’m not so sure how this is going to end up, but since I loved Splintered so much, I’m really excited to read Unhinged.
Have you read any of the books I got this week?
You have so many books that I want to read this week, including Fangirl & Unhinged. Enjoy them! My STS.
I’m super excited about those two! I’ve heard such great things about them!
Hahaha you got Unhinged and I got Splintered this week. 🙂 I have a few of these books but I haven’t read them.

Wow, what a haul! I’ve heard so many good things about the Night Huntress series, Alice in Zombieland and Seraphina. Very jealous!
My Stacking the Shelves post
Night Huntress series is so great 🙂 I’m in love with it haha. Alice in Zombieland is fun, though not at all in Alice in Wonderland; and I know practically nothing about Seraphina haha, so I’m excited to read something new!
Great haul! I’ve got Fangirl sitting on my shelves, just waiting to be read…
I just finished it, and it was AWESOME. You should definitely try to get to it soon!!
Whoa love the haul! 😀 I got Seraphina for my birthday in Jan but I still haven’t read it…..you just reminded me about it *digs it out of shelf*
I also can’t wait to read Alice in Zombieland and Gone! They’ve been on my TBR for aaagesss!
I’ve read Fangirl tho; yesss there’s a huge amount of hype but it’s down to personal taste. I didn’t like it that much but don’t let me stop you lol

Thanks! I feel like I have so many good books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read too haha. It’s a disease. I can’t quite getting new books.
I’ll be interested to see how I like Fangirl. Sometimes books with tons of hype don’t turn out as awesome because we have such high expectations!
Ikr? Such a dilemma for book lovers everywhere! We love books so much there’s just too many to read o.O
True that. But when you hear so much hype it’s hard not to get caught up in it and raise your bar ^^

Not gonna lie, just finished Fangirl…I thought at the beginning that I wasn’t going to like it, but as it went on, I kind of loved it 🙂 What didn’t you like about it?
Haha glad you liked it 😉 Hmm idk….as much as I try, I’ve just never been able to get into books I find quirky and fickle of the likes of Fangirl and TFiOS ^^
I can definitely see that; there are plenty of times where the genre (contemporary teen angst romance etc) is ridiculous; sometimes it seems like they’re trying to be super quirky just to be able to say LOOK HOW QUIRKY I AM.
EXACTLY 😀 It gets on my nerves easily, but I guess I just don’t have much tolerance for the genre XD I’ve always been more of a paranormal/fantasy girl myself 😉
I would be lying if I didn’t agree with the paranormal/fantasy bit 🙂 I occasionally am really in the mood for a contemporary, but it’s less often
Yeahh same 🙂 Sometimes I get bouts of contemporary fervour, but paranormal/fantasy will always be my go-to genre 😛
