Stacking The Shelves #2

STSmall
Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, sharing with you our excitement for our newest titles and maybe have you discover a new book in the process!
Hosted By Tynga's Reviews


Won 

 A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle, #1)   The Replacement
Thanks to Haley @ Passing The Pages

I've heard some good and bad things about A Great and Terrible Beauty which just makes me all the more curious to read it. The cover of The Replacement is so creepy. I finally read a review of it awhile back and learned what it is really about and I'm very intrigued now!



Wither (The Chemical Garden, #1)    Shattered Souls (Souls #1)   Carrier of the Mark (Carrier Trilogy, #1)
Thanks to Jennifer @ My Cute Bookshelf

Very curious about Carrier of the Mark. Heard some good and bad things so I shall see. Shattered Souls has such a gorgeous cover. Wither was disturbing but I plan to re-read them before the release of the last book.



Marked (House of Night, #1)
Thanks to Shannon @ Wringing out Words

I won bath goodies but she threw this in too. I was always kind of curious about this series but I've had people tell me it gets aggravating later. Any of you read it?



For Review

Timepiece (Hourglass, #2)   Kissing Shakespeare   Velveteen (Velveteen, #1)
Hi my name is Jennifer and I'm a gluttonous Netgalleyaholic!
I seriously need to stop. 
Oh but they're so pretty! You know you want them!
No, you have too many books to read.
But I can make time. I swear! I'll read all day and night.
Okay, I guess...if you promise.
I also talk myself into books. I may have a serious problem.

    I love visiting your blog! Seriously, I love to see all your wins, YAY! Congrats!! :)
    Velveteen has been sitting on my Kindle for a few weeks now, and every time I scroll by it I want to stop and read it, other commitments first...

    I really enjoyed Carrier of the Mark :) Hope you like it!
    I really want to read Hourglass and I still haven't read Wither :)
    Marked was a great start to the HoN series!

    I definitely need to add Kissing Shakespeare to my TBR list. I wasn't crazy about Wither, but I'm going to continue with the series because I'm kind of curious about what happens next. Cool haul!

    Hey Jennifer you've got some really popular titles! Majority of these are already on my TBR list. Congrats on your wins. I had to give NetGalley, because I can never read them all before they expire. Thanks for visiting my post. Cheers & Happy Reading!

    Great haul! Velveteen is definitely on my TBR. Looking forward to your review on that one! I have Carrier of the Mark on my bookshelf, just haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. The Replacement is a very different/interesting read.

    Happy Reading!

    I've been waiting forever to read Wither, I actually won it and it's coming in the mail soon :)!! Marked... if you haven't read it yet, I really want to hear what you think about it. It started out okay but turned meh. And I totally agree with you 100% on the talking yourself into getting books thing!

Also Marked is so good, I love the whole House of Night Series I have the last one that's come out so far and I really need to read it! I hope you enjoy everything and thanks for checking out my IMM!

    Enjoy all the books!

    This is a amazing shelf, I am so envious. At the same time, I am glad I don't have all those books laying around waiting to be read. I wouldn't know which to pick up first!
    Now, I am a HUGE House of Night fan, although I have to admit the story loses momentum as you get into the 6th-7th novel, but that's because you are in so deep it can't be handled half-heartedly. I still think it's very amazing, and that there are a lot of unexpected turns up ahead of me (I'm on the 7th novel right now). I hope you'll try and enjoy it as much as I do.

    Awesome books - NetGalley is my nemesis, I'm trying to stay away but it's not easy!

    I'd love to read The Replacement, particularly because of the creepy cover - I'm a sucker for them!

    Have a great week!

  34. BeckyMay 6, 2012 at 2:22 AM

    The House of Night series grabbed me at first but lost me around book six. I know what peoples mean by aggravating. I want to read Shattered Souls, it looks good.

    I have been considering, whether to buy Hourglass or not, for ages now. Seeing as I would have to buy a US edition, I got held back by cost. I don't know why I haven't bought it as I have heard very good things. However now a UK publisher has snapped it up and is being released, considerably cheaper, this month. So I have it on pre-order and I cannot wait to read it! Then hopefully I'll get Timepiece if I enjoy it.

    Good Book Haul :)

    Oh, my God, so many amazing books here! The Replacement was absolutely beautiful to me, although some don't agree. I enjoy Yovanoff's writing so much.Shattered Souls was also one of my 2011 favorites, and I love that it's a standalone.
    Great post!

    Such awesome books! :) I read Marked and I really liked it, and I also have Velveteen from NetGalley and was going to request Timepiece but I haven't read the first one. o.O I'm also a hopeless NetGalley-oholic, and I got, like, six titles this week. Oh God, I need help. ;)

    I loved A Great and Terrible Beauty. One of my favorite series to read. And I read the first three books in the Marked series, but I could never get into them. I found them very dull. And The Replacement always catches my attention when I see it. Maybe I should read it... Happy reading!

I can't help myself requesting even though I will never be able to read them all in time. NG is a dangerous place for me. I just went on a spree myself :).

It was all right, but I hope you like it more than I did. I agree that Wither is disturbing, but it's intriguing too. I have yet to read Shattered Souls and Carrier of the Mark. I have both, just haven't gotten around to reading them yet! Anyway, I hope you enjoy all these books! Happy reading and have a lovely week!

I've read the House of Night series and it does get kinda slow and aggravating later on but I've heard its slowly coming back out of that with the release of the most recent book. I got Timepiece a week or two ago from NetGalley. And I totally understand your problem!! I'm trying so hard to stay away from NetGalley at the moment until I've mostly caught up on the books I already got from there. Lol.

I really enjoyed them, especially the second and third book!
