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 bought a lot of books at an annual book sale. SCOOORREEEEE. Young Adult books were $1 each. SO GOOD. I wish I had more time to search for more books. I’m quite disappointed that I didn’t get the fourth book of A Series of Unfortunate Events (because I would’ve had #1-8, but nope!) and the third book of the Millennium Trilogy; I couldn’t find it anywhere.

A Series of Unfortunate Events #1-3, 5, 11, 13 by Lemony Snicket
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Audrey, Wait! by Robin Benway
A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle #1) by Libba Bray
Going Bovine by Libba Bray
I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have To Kill You (Gallagher Girls #1) by Ally Carter
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Millennium #1) by Stieg Larsson
The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium #2) by Stieg Larsson

I’m still deciding whether I should go on Sunday because every book that’s left over is $1, but I realize my book event is actually on that day and obviously – seeing Marissa Meyer > $1 book sale. (I could always go early, but I don’t want to wake up early. :P)

• Wednesday | I “wait on” This Wicked Game by Michelle Zink because Voodoo in YA? Umm, call me interested.
  The cover of One & Only by Viv Daniels is revealed. ALSO. Viv Daniels is giving away the Secret Society series. Who else is excited?
• Thursday | My banned books week post! Banned or challenged YA books through the decades. It’s really fascinating seeing the books that people deem are bad for their children. The reasons are always absurd.

How was your week? What books did you pick up? Have you read any of the books I got in the mail?

It’s been a month since my last STS, but here I am. These books had me bouncing all over my room! So much awesomeness!

Throne of Glass (signed) by Sarah J. Maas
Crown of Midnight (signed) by Sarah J. Maas
Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard (signed by Sarah J. Maas)
[I actually have showcased these books earlier, but that was in my August roundup. I had yet to show them off in Stacking the Shelves, so voila!]

Vicious (signed ARC) by VE Schwab (from Jenna Does Books)
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
More Than This (ARC) by Patrick Ness
A Darkness Strange and Lovely by Susan Dennard (from Tar Heel Bibliobabe)

Extremely excited to start all of them! I’ve already read the first chapters of Vicious, Attachments, and More Than This, and I am already in love. (I should really stop reading multiple books at once. ;D)

If you have missed my previous posts, check them out: 

• Monday | I reviewed Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts, and it is sooo goddamn boring. I wished for the end to come, so I didn’t have to read anymore.
• Tuesday | I finally did Top Ten Tuesday, which was on my Fall TBR list. To be honest, my TBR has changed when I realized there are tons of events I’m planning to go to in October, so I am unable to read them.
• Wednesday | I “wait on” The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead because I need Adrian Ivashkov in my life again! GIVE HIM TO ME.
• Thursday | In the discussion post, I asked people if they prepped their blog posts in advance, which I do not do because I am a procrastinator.
• Friday | I reviewed Glitches (The Lunar Chronicles #0.5) by Marissa Meyer. Totally hooked now. I need to read Cinder.

* Note to everyone: I may be using Goodreads’ links in my posts (or refer back to them), but that does not mean I support or condone the censorship that has taken place on that site.

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!  So many wonderful things happened in the past day (got to see No Man’s Land, received Ian McKellen’s autograph, and got a new laptop – a hand-me-down from my sister but in excellent condition). A post about that later, hopefully. 

• This Side of Jealousy (The Innocents #2) by Lili Peloquin (from Live to Read)
• Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn (from Scott Reads It)
• Strands of Bronze and Gold by Jane Nickerson (from Scott Reads It)
• Icons by Margaret Stohl (from Up in the Bibliosphere)

 AND

Friday night, I went to see Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Billy Crudup in No Man’s Land. It was very British, but nonetheless, brilliant. All the actors did a phenomenal job in their roles. ANDDD I got Ian McKellen’s autograph.

(It’s a bit smudged, but readable.)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

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! Lots of books this week! You do not know how excited I was when the mailman left books on my doorstep. I feel like I had been waiting for them forever! Absolutely a book heaven-type week for me! AND my BFF came home for two weeks from Japan, giving me the best gifts EVER. 

GIFTED

• Neko Darake by Yokoyama Kimuchi (THE BEST GIFT EVERRRRR from my BFF. CAT BUTTS.)

WON

• When Did You See Her Last (All the Wrong Questions #2) by Lemony Snicket (from A Foodie Bibliophile in Wanderlust)
• The Lonely Lake Monster (The Imaginary Veterinary Book #2) by Suzanne Selfors (from A Foodie Bibliophile in Wanderlust)
• Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson (from Lost in Literature)
• Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (from Fantasy Book Addict)
• Me Before You by Jojo Moyes (from Books, Tea & Me)
• Pivot Point by Kasie West (from Synchronized Reading)

Really excited for these books. I’ve heard excellent things about all the books (minus the ARCS ’cause those aren’t out yet). As soon as I finish typing up a review for Just Like Fate and finish reading another book, I will get started on Throne of Glass ’cause I plan on seeing Sarah J. Maas at the end of the month.

If you have missed my previous posts, check them out: 

• Monday | A review! I thought Unremembered by Jessica Brody was a good introduction to the world that was portrayed in the book.
  
• Wednesday | I “wait on” Untold (The Lynburn Legacy #2) by Sarah Rees Brennan because the Lynburn Legacy world exudes that gothic feel that I love in books. 
• Friday | In my second “Judg(ing) A Book By Its Cover,” I talk about what I liked and disliked about the covers of If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I liked both. Read why!

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

• 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.
