Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to gab on about the books we've won, bought, or otherwise received in the past week.
In case you have not noticed, dear readers, I skipped last week's Stacking the Shelves post. Why, you may ask? Well, if you insist. It was my birthday last week! I didn't do too much, but I did go out for dinner and drinks with my friend Jessica, and my girlfriend sent me a care package for the occasion, as did my mom & grandmother!
So this post is from the past two weeks, and will include a little birthday spam too :) Brace yourselves for a long one!

Second Star looks really cute. I hope you enjoy your books :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
DeleteThe cover for The Echoes of Love is stunning! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just?
DeleteI love the cover of The Echoes of Love. Need to get to J.A Redmerski. Enjoy. Do stop by my StS
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, on my way to visit now.
DeleteI've got Battle Royale on my tbr...I think it has been there for about 5 years now. Maybe someday I'll get to read it! Enjoy your books.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many good things, I figured it was time!
DeleteI really want to read Second Star. :) I'm a HUGE Peter Pan fan (I was kind of overly obsessed with it when I was little) and now I read all the Peter Pan take-offs I can find. I hope you like it! My StS!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, I had never seen Peter Pan (or read it) as a kid. But my girlfriend bought me a copy for my birthday last year (because it's "unacceptable to have never seen it') and now I'm hooked! If you enjoy adult books as well as YA, I'd recommend Hook's Pan by Marie Hall.
DeleteHappy Birthday! I hope you enjoy all of your new books!

Happy Birthday! Looks like a pretty good haul - I loved seeing some non-fiction from NetGalley in your stack! The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls is intriguing....
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It's a memoir about one of my favorite musicians and her struggle with bipolar disorder. Rough topic but gorgeous book.
DeleteBelated happy birthday! You got some great presents, I'd love to get my hands on a copy of The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls as it looks fantastic! Love the Loki t-shirt, I nearly bought one of those too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your books/presents and happy reading :)
Thank you! It's a stunning book, it's 250 full color glossy pages. And I have an addiction to buying Loki shirts. I think I'm up to four or five haha
DeleteHoly wow what a great haul you got this week. I got The Edge of Always a couple weeks ago but I haven't got it yet. Hope you enjoy them all!!

DeleteHappy birthday! A coffee maker is a kick ass present, but I love the look of 'Hungry'. I've gottta check that one out. Thanks for putting it on my radar. Happy reading, you'll be able to get through it all now you've got a new coffee maker. LOL.

No problem, haha. And RIGHT? That was my first thought too. A stack of books and infinite coffee: time to be productive!
