Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where you share books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. You can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! I did buy books this week from Amazon, but they will not arrive until next week or so.
Won
- The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay [signed] (from Fiction Fare)
BOUGHT
- Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
- Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow
- Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy #5) by Richelle Mead
- Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
- The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller
ALSO.
If you have missed my previous posts, check them out:
- Tuesday | Here is my Top Ten on “the best book-to-movie adaptations,” which includes Matilda, Atonement, Persuasion.
- Wednesday | I “wait on” The 100 by Kass Morgan. It reminds me of Battlestar Galactica (with a smidge of Lord of Flies) because of the living in spaceship thing, Earth being inhabitable, and kids basically stranded. And someone told me that a TV will be made? Wow.
- Friday| I’m giving away my ARC of Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins (It’s the second book of the Sweet Trilogy). I realized that I was never going to read it, so why don’t I give it away to somebody who will?
AND
I apologize for not having a review up this week. I was planning to type it up, but I accidentally knocked my laptop onto the floor Wednesday night, so my laptop is no longer functioning. :My writing (and graphics for this blog) hadn’t been backed up for the past month. That set me back, but no worries. I took it to the Apple Store to get it checked, and somehow, my laptop began to work. Barely. I managed to backup my resume/cover letters, but none of my other writing because my laptop suddenly froze. Fast forward to 4+ hours, I backed up all the essentials (writing + graphics), so I don’t have an excuse anymore! It was a pretty stressful couple of days. I won’t be getting my laptop fixed ’cause of the cost. In the mean time, I’m lucky my uncle gifted my family with an awesome desktop computer. Hopefully, I will make up my lack of reviews with more posts this coming week.
How was your week? What books did you pick up?
I love the VA series and the Bloodlines one :) And I’ve been meaning to check out Daughter of Smoke and Bone and The Sea of Tranquility for a while! Great haul and thanks for stopping by My Haul!

I got a Marchetta book as well! I can’t wait to read Jellicoe Road, I heat it’s a tearjerker. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is amazingly amazing, one of my favorites. Enjoy your haul!
Jellicoe Road definitely is a tearjerker. I loved it. Be prepared! Tears came out in the form of rivers for me. ;D
Great haul! I have not read any of those, but I’ll have to look into some. They look great! Have fun reading.

Nice books. Sorry to hear about your computer problems. Glad everything is better now. (Note to self: when did you last do a backup?) If you get a chance, come see what I got this week at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
I’ve heard tons of great things about The Sea of Tranquility, so I hope you enjoy that one! (Grats on that win by the way.)
