Stacking the Shelves #23


This feature is hosted by Tynga at Tynga's Reviews


Hello everyone,hope your week was awesome, and for those who celebrate, full of Christmas prep. This week was a busy week. My sweet kitty Tiffany was spayed on Monday and has had some problems post op. She appears to be on the mend now.Yesterday, we went to a new vet because our usual one didn't have emergency hours. Tiffany was diagnosed as still being in pain. So she got an injection of pain medication and she seems to be doing a TON better.

Now, moving on to the fun parts of the week. I got two books this week. I got We Were Liars by E. Lockhart from NetGalley. I found out from a fellow blogger that it was up on NetGalley and I immediately requested it. Over the next 24 hours a TON of fellow bloggers did the same and the majority of us got it.

Now months ago I had requested Fire & Flood by Victoria Scott.I had totally forgotten about it until the pictures of the ARC's came flooding through my Twitter feed. By the second day, I started to feel crappy because it didn't seem like I was going to get it. Day three came and I got a package from Scholastic. I instantly knew what it was and I was thrilled. So thank you bunches Scholastic.

So, it was a quiet book week for me. I guess that is probably a good thing as I have so many books to read right now.So let me know if you got either of these or if you've read them by now.Also, leave the links to your Stacking the Shelves posts/vlogs. For those of you who celebrate it, Merry Christmas!

  1. Congrats on the two books, Alexia! I got We Were Liars, too, as you know, but I also got a physical ARC, too, which should make reading easier.

  4. AHHH for We Were Liars! I want to read it right away but also want to wait. I've been seeing FIre & Flood everywhere! I need to stop being lazy and look it up on Goodreads. Isn't getting bookish mail the best? I always get excited when I get books in the mail. Even if I bought it for myself lol

    I hope you have a happy holiday! :)

    1. I really should have waited. I have too many e-ARC's to read right now. Oopsies.I haven't gotten book mail in months so I was ecstatic to get my very first print ARC from Scholastic.

      Thanks for stopping by and happy holidays to you!

    Have a fantastic holiday!
