Let's see. I haven't done one of these in a while, and not because I haven't gotten in any new books, because I keep forgetting, or too lazy. lol  Bad me.

Some of these I got recently, some I got a few weeks ago, even a month or two ago. I'm sure most you may recognize. I have yet to read any of these, since I am currently trying to get through the older books I have.

I admit, I have been lazy lately, so these are the books I have bought and given for review over the last few weeks.


Review from Pan Macmillan.

Joy Dettman is an Australian author. I was given the chance to review the entire catelogue of this current series, and after doing some research, I felt it should be interesting to read something different.

Pearl in a Cage
Thorn on the Rose
Moth to the Flame
Wind in the Wires

I look forward to reading this series.


For review via Netgalley and Harlequin

And BOUGHT:

Purpose & Promise by Kristie Cook.  -- I have read these, but gave the original covers to my c-blogger, and re-bought them because I have this peeve when it comes to change of covers, lol It doesn't sit right with me.

Skylark by Meagan Spooner
The Shifting Price of Prey by Suzanne McLeod

The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter
Hysteria by Megan Miranda
Night School: Legacy by C.J Daughterty
Prodigy by Marie Lu -- Read last night, and how dare she end it like that? Break my heart in pieces, will you? *bawls*

Remember what I said about my pet peeves?  Yes, well after the UK decided NOT to buy the 3rd book, I suddenly had a delimma. Have 2 paperbacks and one hardback, or just re-buy them all in US hardback. So I decided on the latter.
And here we all, all of the Birthmarked series.

Birthmarked, Prized & Promised by Caragh O'Brien


And there we are.. the books I have gotten recently,

What about you?

Books I bought this week.

 

Vampire Academy Graphic Novel . I was lucky to get this for $5.00.
Drink Slay Love by Sarah Best Durst. This one I got for $2.95, it could be the worst book in the world, but that to me is a bargain.

Storm by Brigit Kemmerer

Breathe by Sarah Crossan
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer 

Rise by Andrea Cremer

Be warned. There might be a ton. I may, or might not have gone a little overboard with buying books!

Daughter of Smoke and Bone & Days of Blood & Starlight by Lani Taylor
 I Bought this in a bundled deal, two for one at Target.
Partials by Dan Wells & Grave Minder by Melissa Marr, I got at a cheap bookstore for $5 each.
I wrapped all FOUR books up and gave them to myself for christmas! Ha. Is that wrong?

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda & The Blood Countess by Tara Moss.
I had already read The Hunt last year as an ARC, but loved it so much that I knew I wanted to own it. And The Blood Countess. I was given the 3rd book a while back to review, but since I hadn't read the first two, I couldn't yet. So I finally got around to buying the first one.

Endless by Jessica Shirvington & The Diviners by Libbra Bray
Again, I have already read Endless. But I gave it to my co-blogger, and friend April, since she likes to have the Australian versions, and so I bought myself a copy.
I have heard so much about the Diviners that I thought I should get it and check it out for myself. It does sound pretty awesome.

Covet by Melissa Darnell, The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken & The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore.
Again, like the above, I had already read Covet & The Rise of Nine as ARCs, but I knew I planned om buying the paperbacks for myself since I own the previous books in each series.
I remember Darkest Minds had been on my to read list, and sounds amazing, so there was no question on whether or not I'd be getting that one.

Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood, Forsaken by Lisa M Stasse & Taken at Dusk by C.C Hunter.
I've been meaning to get all three of these. Especially Born Wicked. I have heard so much about it, but kept waiting until I could find it at a cheaper place, and since I couldn't.. I decided, I would go ahead and buy it at the bookstore --- even if I was paying like $16.. which is a normal paperback price when it comes to bookstores here in Australia.

And last, but not least, THE HOST -- Official Illustrated movie companion! I could not resist getting this after flipping through the gorgeous pictures inside.


That was it for me, how did everyone else fan out this christmas?

Stacking the Shelves [#01]

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews 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!


So, this is the first time I have done this meme. I usually do IMM, but I figure, new blog design, I felt like totally doing something different.
Since I have been away for the past two months over in the US (New Orleans, Florida, Virginia, Atlanta) and Canada (Vancouver), I haven't managed to buy any books in such a long time. Yesterday, I went on a spending spree and bought about 19 or 20 books. I'm pretty sure I spent at least $200. I'm really only making up for lost time in which I would have spent anyway during those months.

Given for review:

This arrived while I was overseas, by Pan Macmillan, and I discovered it's book three in a series, but I figure I should read the first two. Or are they stand alone books? Can anyone tell me?

Won from a Giveaway, thanks to Katrina

Via The Blue Bloods readalong

And these are the ones I bought. yesterday I went on a spending spree, considering it's been months since I have been able to buy anything new.
