Stacking the Shelves

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means 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! This is hosted by Tynga's Reviews!

Boy oh boy, do I have a haul for you guys this week! 

 I have a serious addiction and I need help. These are only the physical copies! There's 26! When did this happen?! I also have 75 ebooks that need reading! 75!!! Wish me luck.

Though this isn't the order I plan to read them (mostly because I could tell you an order but it's all about how I feel at the time), I'll let you know what they are starting from the top left and moving clockwise from there. Ready? Go.

So there...but just so you know...I have so many books waiting to be read that what you see might not be what you get. It'll be a surprise. Who doesn't like surprises? Also, apparently Kristen and I have gotten back into the wing of life and have plenty of wonderful book reviews waiting to be read by you...yes, you. Keep an eye open. I'm excited!

This is getting embarrassing. My list, again, hasn't changed much since the first time I've posted. BUTTTTTTTTT, I have ordered about 9 books.... so, I'll post those this week! This is hosted by Tynga's Reviews, so you should hop on over and take part in this too!

Here goes my list of books I have coming in the mail!

1. Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver (received, review up later today)
2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (received, reviewed a while back)
3. The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
4. Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
5. Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
6. Beautiful Disaster by Jamie Mcguire 

The rest are Christmas gifts, so, that's my list! What's yours?

- Kristen

I guess I'll post what I have coming in the mail too!

   1. Blue Smoke and Murder by Elizabeth Lowell (exception to the in the mail theme)

   2. Linger by Maggie Stiefvater (Second in series)

   3. A Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde

   4. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo

   5. Delirium by Lauren Oliver (because Kristen is making me!)

   6. The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks (I think I ordered about three of his books. I enjoy them and they are easy reads.)

I'll leave it at six though I have a about 10 on their way and countless others on my shelves in my room. Seriously, I have a shelf and a drawer of to-read books. It's killing me but I have to little time! Sorry everyone.

With midterms and school, I can't believe that it's time to do this again!

Seeing as my list hasn't changed much since last week, I thought I'd take pictures to change it up a bit. 

City of Bones and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

I've heard so many good things about this series, so I'm excited to jump into it!
"When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in NYC, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with odd markings..."

XVI by Julia Karr 

A friend, who absolutely positively never reads, recommended this to me. So, I'm excited to get started!

"Some girls can't wait to be sixteen, to be legal. Nina is not one of them. Even though she has no choice in the matter, she knows that so long as her life continues as normal, everything will be okay..."

The Host by Stephanie Meyer 

Because who hasn't heard of this book? ;)

"Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged..."

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia 

Everyone's going crazy over this book it seems, I'm excited to give it a go! 

"... In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything."

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore 

Now, don't throw tomatoes at me, but I saw the movie first... *ducks* I know, I know... But I'm reading now!

"Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live amoung you - but we are not you. We have powers you dream of having. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books - but we are real." 

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver 

Because after reading Delirium by her, I needed to get my hands on another book! (Book two to Delirium is in the mail)

"Friday, February 12th, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last. The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. "

After by Amy Efaw 

I've had this for a while, I kinda forgot about it !

"Before it all, Devon was a good student, a good athlete, an all-around good girl. But then IT happened - the thing that was so horrible.... that Devon simply chose to not admit it to anyone, even herself." 

The Maze Runner by James Dashner 

I admit, I've been working on this one for a while. But I'm determined! 

"When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. He has no recollection of his parents, his home, or how he got where he is. His memory is empty."

Blood Red Road by Moira Young 

I've had this one for a while too, I was a little turned off by the spelling - but I'll continue!

"I cain't speak. Cain't breathe. Lugh's gone. Gone. My golden heart is gone. I kneel in the dust. The tears roll down my face. An a hard red rain starts to fall." 

So there we have it! My list. 

~ I have two more coming in the mail - The Great Gatsby and the second to the Delirium series. 

Any suggestions on what to read next?

Tygna's Reviews hosts this little shindig, and I thought I'd take part of it because let's be real, it looks rad. 

Books to Read: 

So, I've been completely and utterly behind in reading and it's a little shameful. Don't judge the size of this list! ;)

1.) Delirium by Lauren Oliver 

2.) Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia

3.) I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

4.) The Host by Stephanie Meyer 

5.) XVI by Julia Karr 

6.) City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

I guess writing these out make it seem less daunting, but if I'm being real, I'm going to read the whole series to all of them. (Minus The Host)  So, I shouldn't completely delude myself. 

Any suggestions on which to read next/ thoughts if you've read any?!
