Stacking the Shelves #10


Hello again everyone! First of all, happy first week of September. We are now entering my favorite time of the year. Fall is my favorite season followed by Winter. I don't do the heat very well so I am thrilled to be leaving it behind me.

Well, let's get to it then. This weekly meme is brought to you by Tynga's Reviews. Don't forget to stop by there and link up your book haul posts. Remember they can be e-books,physical books,books you got as gifts or that you won. Of course they also include books that you bought or received for review.

This week was an unusual week for me. I mega splurged and bought 7 hard copy books. All books I had been dying to read for months but was unable to afford due to grown up things. Like bills. I placed the order on August 24th and received on September 3rd. I have already gobbled up 3 of the seven books and they have all been amazing. Reviews will be posted this coming week.

I also received 2 Netgalley books. One of which I have already finished. The review is scheduled for next month as the release date is not until November. I received a hard copy of a book for review as well. I am really looking forward to reading it as I am not familiar with the Jewish culture & religion. Normally I stay away from religious books but I am trying to expand my horizons just a little bit.

I did end up winning a book (actually I must have won it awhile ago) from Epic Reads. I am SO excited that I won this book and I cannot wait to dive into it.

So here are my bookish goodies that I received. As always please let me know if you've read these and what you though of them.

    I have The Sea of Tranquility on my Kindle but I haven't gotten to it yet. I hope it's as good as I've heard. I also can't wait to get a copy of The Program. Enjoy your new titles.

    The Program was AMAZING! Loved it so much and I cried so freaking much. Yes it was quite emotional.

    Hoping I can get to The Sea of Tranquility SOON!

    I heard a lot of good things for Gated. It's about a cult isn't it? And Siege and Storm, I just bought that a week or 2 weeks ago. A lot of people is raving about it. I hope that I will also get hooked.

    Happy reading and see you tomorrow for another STS!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

      Gated was AMAZEBALLS! Yes it's about a cult. I'm hoping to get to Siege & Storm SOON! I really hope it's as good as Shadow & Bone.
