Stacking the Shelves [59]



Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to show off the books we've won, bought, or otherwise received in the past week. If a book catches your eye, *click* the picture to go to the Goodreads page of that book.

Soooo I was being good this week, but the damn Netgalley fairies decided to accept my requests all at once. And while yay new books, also ;-; read ALL of the things? But, I am feeling pretty accomplished this week. I have completed a few books, sent out a few interviews, and amazingly kept up with my schoolwork, including teaching an English class in front of my peers. I'm glad I got it over with, and I think I did pretty well! Now, shall we get to the titles?

  11. I LOVED Melt. I cannot wait to have a finished copy for my shelves. The subject matter didn't make it an easy book to read, but it was beautiful. I can't wait to read your review to find out what you thought about it.

  13. Aww - If I Stay and Where She Went! Okay, I haven't read either of those yet but I've been meaning to for so so long! Hopefully soon - I won't watch the movie until I read the book and I REALLY want to see the movie! The Jewel sounds good, too! I'm looking forward to seeing reviews for it.

    Great haul!
