Stacking The Shelves (14)

Hi Chroniclers! Another week has come and gone and I've been lacking with the posts. I'm trying to get them up again but I've just been so blah. But let's get on with today's post. Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga from Tynga's Reviews where we show you the books we received or bought during the past week. This week I got a couple of books for some very good reasons!


On Tuesday, the day when books are released, I went to Barnes & Noble in NYC once more and bought Light by Michael Grant. It is the final book of the series and I actually finished it already. It was so amazing and I felt a bit empty after closing the book and saying goodbye.

I also bought The Rising by Kelley Armstrong which was also released on Tuesday and is also the final book of it's trilogy. This one I'm currently reading and it's another favorite trilogy of mine and hopefully I'll be done soon.

I decided to buy Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness which follows the buying theme basically and is the last book of its trilogy. I haven't started reading them yet but it was cheap and I had to get it.

This week I also got a Barnes & Noble 20% off coupon and I made a list of the books below $10 that I wanted to buy and chose the cheapest one and used the discount. So basically, I bought Sweep Volume 1 by Cate Tiernan for about 3 bucks. My sister actually has this book and loved it and I've wanted to buy it. The other books are also less than $5 so I should be getting them soon.

So that's all that I got this week! 4 books and I'm happy with that! I don't plan on buying anything for a little while but that never works out so we'll see how it goes. What did you guys get this week though?

Stacking The Shelves (12)

Hey Chroniclers! This week was such a good week in terms of books for me! I got so many books this week, more than I usually get and it's not even all of them. I have a few books coming in this coming week and then the week after some more. =O It feels like Christmas! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we share with you what we got the past week!


I got 8 books in total this week!

On Tuesday, I went to New York City with a friend to go to Barnes and Noble. It's 15 minutes away from where I live and since I have no car I'd rather take the train there and visit my second home, the city. We went there to buy Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare which I'll read in the month of April. But while I was there I couldn't leave with just one book so I bought The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. Now I was content with these two books but I was showing my friend the leather bound editions of books from B&N and I turned to the side thinking it was there, which they weren't, but noticed that the hardcover copy of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo was only eight bucks. Cheaper with the membership so I HAD to get it which I did.

This week I also found out I won a giveaway over at Lindsay Cummings Blog and won a copy of Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes which I received on Friday. I was shocked though that they also sent me a copy of Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and even more shocked that it was signed! So thank you so much for that and everyone go check out Lindsay's blog! She's also an author =O

And I just recently got back from Barnes and Noble about an hour or so ago. While I was at the Barnes and Noble on Tuesday, I saw that they had Legend by Marie Lu with the new cover as a hardcover! And I didn't mind the cover change, had I not seen the new cover as hardcover so I had to go buy it today to match!

Old Cover vs New Cover


And while I was there today, I also got Prodigy by Marie Lu and decided to get The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness.

And thus, my Stacking The Shelves is concluded with eight freaking books. My TBR pile just shot straight up! Next week I should be receiving three books and then the following week another three. I feel like I'm getting books faster than I could read them. But I'll get to them soon!

But that's all I got! What did you guys get this week? Let me know down in the comments below!
