Hey guys! It's been a while since I did one of these but I figured I'd do one now because Christmas came and went and I got a LOT of books. To start off, Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga from Tynga's Reviews where we show you guys the books we got. Now to showoff but to help you guys find some books. I'll be doing it a bit different than usual. I always put a picture of the books but there's so many this time I'll also put up the spines.
All of these books were bought using gift cards I received for Christmas. There's actually one book missing but at the time, I didn't realize it was still only available for pre-order and will come out July. But hey, Christmas in July. Some of these books I already owned but got different copies.
Shatter Me I owned the hardcover but because of the cover change I decided to get the paperback so that they match.
Numbers & Cinder I owned paperbacks and needed the Hardcovers.
The Forsaken, Scarlet & The Lost Code I owned ARCs of and had to get actual copies. Everything else I got to read.
I'm super excited to read the books that are new to me. Some of them I've wanted for years and I finally have them! Check them out later when the TBR Pile post comes out.
And that's how good my Christmas was! Let me know down in the comments below how good your Christmas was and we can discuss!

Stacking The Shelves (20: Christmas Edition)
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Stacking The Shelves (19)
Hey Chroniclers! Once again this post is late and I really wanted to get it up on Sunday but just things are complicated and my body thinks it's having fun being sick. Either way, Stacking The Shelves is a weekly feature held by the amazing Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we share with everyone the books that we'll be adding to our shelves.
The one book below is a book I bought but it's pretty interesting how it happened and why it's special.
The Enchanter Heir by Cinda Williams Chima! On Saturday my mom made me go with her to the doctor and then shopping for food so I made her take me to Barnes & Noble. While there I was looking for a sequel to a series I really want to read this month. I went to those computers they have around and it told me it was in stock and where it was. So I went to that section but couldn't find the book. The only ones I saw were Books 4 and 5 of the series but not 2. So I walked to the side a bit and looked down and did a double take.
At the bottom of the bookcase was this beautiful gem. I couldn't believe it because the book only comes out today! Yet, they had it there days earlier. I immediately grabbed the one copy that was left and went to pay for it. The lady looked at the book and then looked at me and yet I said nothing. I wasn't going to give up this opportunity. I left the store, entered the car and laughed at my luck.
And that's basically the story. I'm super excited to read this book! One of my favorite series and authors. It must have been a reward for everything I went through that day. =P
But that's all I got this week, what did you guys get? Leave your comments down below!

Stacking The Shelves (18)
Hey Chroniclers! I know this is a late post that is supposed to go up on Sunday's but I wasn't home and so I'm putting it up now. Also because I can so yea. Today I woke up really early for the cable guy to fix my DVR and decided to take a small nap and instead it turned into a few hours. I woke up not long ago and that is why the posts are late today as well. Stacking The Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we share with everyone the books that we'll be adding to our shelves.
The books below are the books that I received last week.
The first one is Zom-B by Darren Shan that I bought because I had a B&N coupon. I wanted something scary or as scary as I could find for my October Themed Reading. I haven't read a book yet that's about zombies so I'm super excited for this one.
The rest of the books I received from HarperCollins Publishers who I thank oh so much! They were fantastic to send me a couple of books. Some of these I'll be giving away to some readers who would enjoy them more than I would. Those are It's Halloween, I'm Turning Green! by Dan Gutman which I have half a mind of reading actually. Annoying Orange: How To Be Annoying by Brandon Snider, Gravediggers: Terror Cove by Christopher Krovatin which looks pretty cool but my friend actually has the first book and Cinderella Smith: The Super Secret Mystery by Stephanie Barden.
The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates: Magic Marks the Spot by Caroline Carlson is one of the books I'll be keeping. The cover is fantastic and the deckled edges just make it all better and it looks like a fun read.
The last one is Scary School 3: The Northern Frights by Derek The Ghost. I have the first two which I also added to my TBR Pile and they'll all be read during the October Scary Themed Month. I'm excited to read those as well!
But that's all I got this week, what did you guys get? Leave your comments down below!

Stacking The Shelves (17)
Hey Chroniclers! Another week has come and gone and we're already at the end of June. Well, almost. Anyway, it's Sunday which means it's time for Stacking The Shelves. For those of you who don't know, Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we show you guys the books we bought or received during the week.
This week I didn't get many things but I'm still excited for what I got.
The first book I got was Black Heart by Holly Black which I bought using B&N Gift Cards from Viggle. I now own the whole trilogy and can start reading it soon. The thing is, the books don't exactly match. The first and third one are glossy while the second isn't. Plus, the spine of the third one is cut off and I have no idea why they did it like that. But aside from that, I'm still excited.
The second and last book I got is The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani and I'm actually excited to read it as well. I received it from HarperCollins Publishers and the cover looks amazing. It also sounds like a fantastic read and I can't wait to read them both.
That's all I got this week, what did you guys get? Leave your comments down below!

Stacking The Shelves (16)
Hey Chroniclers! Before I say anything I'd like to offer a quick apology for not posting and not announcing the winners any sooner. I must apologize for not announcing them right now as well. The thing is, a lot has been going on right now and whenever I'm in these types of situations where everything is coming at me from everywhere I choose to do nothing. Unfortunately blogging was one of those things I chose not to do. Not because I didn't want to but because I love it so much and care so much that I just didn't want to hurt it. It doesn't make sense really, but in my head it does.
I will announce the winners later on once I get back from New York City but in the meantime I present to thee Stacking The Shelves. Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we showcase the books that we got during the week. This week I'm actually showing some books that I got in the past two weeks.
The first book I got was The Silent Deal by Levi Stack that I received for review from the author himself. I already finished the book and it was amazing and you need to look out for the book week where I'll introduce the book, cast some characters, put up an author interview and a review for the book. It should be up soon.
The second book I got was Starfall by W.A. Fulkerson which I also received from the author himself. The novel seems super interesting and I'll be reading it soon as well as doing another book week with this one as well.
The next two books I bought (more like used Viggle but that's a long story) and they are White Cat and Red Glove by Holly Black. I can't wait to read these two because they seriously seem super amazing. Plus, they're set in New Jersey so heeeeeey. Also, it's weird how both covers are different, one is glossy and the other isn't, yet they were both published at the same time.
But that's basically all I've gotten lately. I don't exactly buy books unless it's through Viggle or I receive a coupon and even then I'm not the one that buys it. So who knows about next week. What did you guys get this week though? Leave your comments down below.
Be on the lookout for the announcement of the winners of my giveaway as well as an author interview with Steven Parlato!

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 (13)
Hey Chroniclers! So this is a bit late and I haven't exactly been posting which is horrible of me, I know. But I decided to get this up and start posting again! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we showcase the books we bought or received the past week. This week is actually pretty funny how I got these books. Basically my friend Jen and I bought Christmas presents for each other for 2012. Except we hadn't seen each other since December and only last Saturday, the 23rd of March, we saw each other and exchanged gifts. She got me a Barnes & Noble gift card so of course I had to order!
I got 3 books this week!
I wanted to buy books that would finish the series that I already have instead of buying a new series. So the first one I bought was Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke which was almost twenty bucks and took up most of the gift card. But I now have it and can read the series and finish it up!
The second book I decided to get was Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick. It was one of the last few books I needed to get that were series enders and since it's April and it's my theme I can now finish off the series and put it away!
The finale book I got is Hidden by Sophie Jordan and I am disappointed on how small this book is compared to the first two. Again, it is a series ender so I would expect it to be bigger if not the same size and it's smaller and 260 pages. I don't even think the series is that great to begin with but I have to finish it as well and it should be a fast read.
So that's all I got the past week. This week I'll definitely be getting some more series enders as they're released. What did you guys get this week? Leave your comments down below!

Stacking The Shelves (11)
Hey Chroniclers! I was supposed to put this up yesterday but the day went by so fast and before I knew it it was over. I have no idea how that even happened! But I'm here now and time to show you what I got! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the joyous Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews in which we show you what we bought or received during the week! This week I went bad, especially considering that tomorrow I'll be buying another book and in the next week or so I'll be getting two more. It seems like my TBR Pile will never go down! D=
Barnes & Noble sent me a coupon for 20% off and I always said that I'd only buy a book if there was a coupon so I could limit myself and save money at that. So with the coupon I bought Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews. I've heard about this book so much on YouTube and it seriously got me interested and so I'm super freaking to read this one! I'm not sure when I'll get to it though. I also love the way the cover feels. It's like rough parchment!
On Saturday I went to Walmart and I went into the movies section and looked for Game of Thrones Season 2 but they only had the DVD when I was looking for Blu-Ray. So instead I settled on a book, Rise by Andrea Cremer. My mom actually bought me it so my money has been saved. Again, I hear the prequel series are the better books so I'm pretty excited to read this as well. I'm not sure when I'll read it but hopefully soon.
So that's all I got! What did you guys get this week? Let me know in the comments below!

Stacking The Shelves (10)
Hey Chroniclers! Another week has come and gone and many of us have gotten more books to add to our shelves. Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we showcase the books we received this week! This week it's basically a blessing that I didn't get a lot of things so that my TBR Pile doesn't go any higher.
When Cinder by Marissa Meyer first came out or I think ARCs were going around, my friend Ky from Can't Find A Bookmark read it and fell in love and just told me about it like the reader she is. I admitted it sounded good and last week I received a copy of Cinder and when I told my friend Ky, she offered to send me her ARC of Scarlet since she already had a hardcover and here we go! I finally got it and I can't wait to read both of them!
I keep hearing good things about both of these books and I'm so excited but I'm not sure when I will read them. Perhaps sometime before June but we shall see.

Stacking The Shelves (9)
Hey Chroniclers! So this post is a day late but I wasn't exactly home yesterday so better late than never! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we show what we received or bought in the past week. This week I got a couple of things that I'm actually happy and excited for!
Bam! I'm so happy with what I got and I'm actually proud of the lighting in this picture! =P
All this is thanks to a wonderful person called Margie over at Bumbles and Fairy-Tales! Margie did a giveaway on Twitter where the winner would win a book off of their wishlist. I won and received a UK paperback copy of Cinder by Marissa Meyer! I keep hearing good things about this and first heard it from my friend Ky who loves the series! So I'm glad that I got that and thank you Margie!
She also asked me if I would like to review two books on her site as well as my own and I agreed because it's awesome to help fellow bloggers out which at this point we're all like family. So you can't say no =P
So she sent me a copy of Guys Read: The Sports Pages Edited by Jon Scieszka. It is a couple of short stories by various authors. She also sent an ARC of The Namesake by Steven Parlato. I'm actually really excited for this one and can't wait to read both of them though! So again thank you Margie for that!
She was also kind enough to send me a bunch of swag! I got some tattoos, an awesome sticker, as well as these small square type book things which I don't know what they're called. She also sent me a couple of bookmarks some of which are signed like the wonderful Maria V. Snyder and Gretchen McNeil! So again, thank you so much for this Margie! You made my whole week with this and I've been super excited since!
One of the best part though has to be her business card.
I have never seen a business card like this and I think it's the most creative and wonderful one out there. I seriously was cheesing so hard when I got this and I don't know why. Just the design and the way the card feels and it's just so cool. Her information is on the back side and it just looks so freaking neat and professional and just AWESOME! Everyone needs to make theirs like this one.
But that is all I got this week! What did you guys get? Let me know down below in the comments!

Stacking The Shelves (8)
Hey Chroniclers! This post is a bit late but I haven't been feeling well and was being a bit too lazy to get the books and take the picture and do all of this but I am doing it for sure! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we show what we got during the week. This week I got a little more than the usual one book so I'm pretty excited for it!

This week has been a bit exciting. First off I bought the last book in The Circle Opens Quartet Shatterglass by Tamora Pierce. I can't wait to finally read the quartet and see how it all turns out. I might read them around April or May though but we'll see.
I received a Hardcover copy of The Colossus Rises by Peter Lerangis, which is the first book of the Seven Wonders Series, from HarperCollins Publishers. It looks very interesting and so good and reminds me of Rick Riordan's work who actually gave has a blurb on the cover. I also love the cover and the whole book in general. Very well put together.
Also I saw that Peter Lerangis had a prequel novella of around 50 pages called The Selection for the kindle and nook and it was free. Now I only use the nook for review which actually, I barely use at all. And we all know how I feel about novella.s But this being so short and being free I decided to just get it and check it out before I read the book. It's still available for both Nook and Kindle.
So that's all I got this week and it's pretty exciting. What did you guys get? Leave the link down below!

Stacking The Shelves (7)
Hey Chroniclers! I almost forgot to put this up today! I've been sick for the past few days and my mind has been scattered really. Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we share the books we bought or received during the week to show you guys new books or old books you might be interested in. Also, The Walking Dead returns back on TV and I'm so freaking excited for it! But let's get on with what I got!
This week I only got one book once again.
I bought Cold Fire by Tamora Pierce. It's Book 3 in The Circle Opens Quartet which is a sequel series to The Circle Closes Quartet. I am now just one book away from owning the quartet. As I told you in another posted where I bought the second book; I read the first book in the first quartet and the first two in the second when I was younger and loved them. Years later I decided to buy the books and read them again along with the other ones. This is seriously an amazing series. I love the characters, I love the magic, the writing, the setting. Just everything.
I didn't even buy this myself. My mom bought me after I made a joke that the gray hair I found on my head is from the stress my parents cause me. I then told her I had a 20% off coupon and I got the book for like 5 Bucks.
I was supposed to start my job on Monday but with the luck I have and some bullcrap, I didn't get to start and wasn't even called. I really want to do a giveaway for you guys. I mean I even have books here brand new that I could give to ya'll but the shipping is what I need money for. But hopefully I find something soon to bring you guys happiness.
Anyway, let me know what you guys got this week in the comments below.
Also don't forget to check me out on other places around the web of inter...

Stacking The Shelves (6)
Hey Chroniclers! I am here on this blah Sunday to bring you the newest addition that will help me Stacking The Shelves! Before I continue though, can I just say that Saturday passed by in such a rush. I mean I looked at the clock and it was 2:00 PM and next thing I know it's already 10:00 PM. I literally did nothing but sit down on a chair and so many hours passed by. It felt so crazy and weird but it's a new day. Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews! Stacking The Shelves allows people to share the books they got during the week to help others find books they might be interested in.
This week I only got one book once again.
I bought Street Magic by Tamora Pierce. It's book 2 in The Circle Opens Quartet, which is a sequel series to The Circle Closes Quartet. I'm super excited to read this book even though I want to get the last two before I start this series. I read the first two of this series years ago along with the first book of the first series. Then recently I bought the first four and re-read the first one and read the next three and it felt good to go back to my childhood. I really can't wait for this one.
But this is all I got. Because I'm officially broke and have about $1 to my name, I'm not sure that I'll be buying anything anytime soon. Unless I see my friend who got me a B&N Gift Card for Christmas. =P
Anywho let me know what you guys got this week down below in the comments!

Stacking The Shelves (5)
Hola Chroniclers! I am here today on this beautiful Sunday with a new addition to Stacking The Shelves! Lately I've forgotten to say one special thing that I should have said every Sunday! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful and beautiful Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews! I can't believe I forgot to give credit where credit is due! But yes, I have given it and can now go on with showing you what I got.
I only got one books this week! D= Well, I got four books but here's the thing. HarperCollins Publishers sent me two packages. I got one package one day and I opened it so freaking excited and it turned out to be a Justin Bieber and One Direction book. The thing is, they previously sent me the same exact copies of these books which I gave away. So I was kind of bummed out. The next day I get another package. And I remember saying, if this is a One Direction book I'm shaving my head off. I opened the package and those five guys were just STARING at me. I didn't shave my head but I felt like crying. Again I was excited and then let down. I'm giving the three book away as well and hope to not receive them again!
Endlessly by Kiersten White I bought using a Barnes & Noble gift card along with Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl. Except Endlessly was delayed and I just received it this week. I can't wait to finish the series as I think it's a light, entertaining read.
But that's really all I got. I'm not sure if I'll get books next week but I hope I do. But then again I hope not because I really would like my TBR Pile to go down not up.
But I hope you're all having an amazing Sunday! Let me know what you guys got this week!

Stacking The Shelves (4)
Hey Chroniclers! How's it going on this fine Sunday afternoon? I'm doing great and enjoying the end of the year! I also just finished my last book of the year and will have today and tomorrow to rest my mind before I tackle some big books starting the 1st! Anyway, last week I wasn't home and when I was it was already late, so I wasn't able to put up a post so I'll just do it today.
I got a couple of things from different places and here they are!
From author Andy Gavin, I received an ARC of Untimed (which is the book I finished at like 4AM) and some swag that is bookmarks. They're so amazing as well as this book!
I'm also quoted in the book from my review for his first novel!
From Random House Publishers I received an ARC of The Fire Chronicle by John Stephens. An ARC of The City of Ember Graphic Novel by Jeanne DuPrau, adapted by Dallas Middaugh and art by Niklas Asker. I also received a The Paladin Prophecy pin and a Every Day by David Levithan bookmark where on the back it has a check list for all of his books.
From Barnes & Noble, using a gift card I got for Christmas I ordered some books but only one has arrived thus far. Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl! I am so FREAKING excited to read this book that I might cry. But I'll only be able to read it later on this year because I'm planning on reading the bigger adult books I have on my shelf. But I'll get to it soon!
And that's basically what I got in the past two weeks! What did you guys get? Leave your links down in the comments below or just let me know! =D

Whoa! I haven't done one of these in the longest because I haven't gotten any books! =D Except yesterday I went to Barnes & Noble for a friends birthday present and had some coupons so I got a book. That book is....
Reached by Ally Condie!
This book is a MONSTER compared to the other two. It feels like it's the first two put together and kind of bothers me that it doesn't even out with the others. But! Because it is such a big book I'm hoping for some action-packed madness that the second one promises and not something tame. After all this is book three in the trilogy!
Have you guys read this yet? If so, leave your comments down below with your spoiler-free opinions on it. If not, you have to buy it!

Holy Shiznet! I haven't done one of these in the longest! But I've been getting books like crazy! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the beautiful and ever-wonderful Tynga from Tynga's Reviews! Ever since that drama went down Tynga took it upon herself to create an awesome and new meme and came up with this one. The purpose is to show the books you got during the week to help others find things to read and see what new books are out there.
This week I got 9 books sent by HarperCollins Publishers!
So let's start off!
Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started will be given away to a friend of mine who likes Justin Bieber. I don't exactly like him enough to read about him. The same goes for One Direction Behind The Scenes which will be given to a different friend who is in love with them.
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White I now own a Hardcover copy which is awesome and I can add to my collection now!
Warriors Box set will be given to my nephew who I will buy the other books for him.
Wildwood and Under Wildwood by Colin Meloy lead vocalist of The Decemberists I can not WAIT to read these. They give me a Narnia feeling, love the cover art and the way it feels. I might save these for December along with Big Nate In A Class By Himself by Lincoln Pierce which is a Holiday book.
And that's all I got, some pretty exciting things in there that I can't wait to read. What did you stack your shelves with this week?

Stacking The Shelves (1)
Hello everyone and welcome to my first post of Stacking the Shelves. Stacking the Shelves is a new weekly meme hosted by the wonderful and ever-epic Tynga from Tynga's Reviews! In light of the recent event of drama around the blogging community, Tynga has took it upon herself to create a brand new way to showcase the books we received in the week. So goodbye to In My Mailbox and Hello to Stacking the Shelves.
Basically the name stands for the books we've received that will help stack our shelves higher than they already are. But if you want more information just check out the video in the bottom! (And comment on it too!)
Yep, that's Tynga up there so go to her blog and leave some epic comments.
Anyway, this week was pretty good and I got 4 books in total!
I bought A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin along with A Feast For Crows. Both books 3 and 4 in what we now call the Game of Thrones Series. I seriously can't wait to read these and Book 3 is a big ass book!
I received The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge from Random House by their RandomBuzz.com program.
I received an ARC The Lost Code by Kevin Emerson from Harper Collins Publishers through Goodreads.com
All of these books sound so freaking good and I seriously can't wait to read them! I might explode if I don't soon especially Game of Thrones! -dies-
Anyway, these are the books I've got! Leave your comments down below with links to your posts! Hopefully this week I get some more good books! =D
