Welcome to Stacked, a new feature on the blog. Inspired by The Story Siren, Stacked is a place to talk about books I’ve bought, borrowed and received during the week. Special thanks to my co-blogger Alethea who made several awesome graphics for me, that you’ll probably see over the coming weeks.
Hi, kids! I cannot believe that it’s already May. Where is the year going? I hope you all had a good week with lots of bookish goodness. I didn’t plan on getting any books this week but a trip to the used book store, the library, and the library book sale had me filling up my shelves. Plus there were a ton of great deals on Kindle books that I just could not resist. So yeah, I have a lot of books to read. At least I’ve been staying away from NetGalley. :) Check out my haul and let me know what you think. Click on the book’s title to take you to the Goodreads page.
Borrowed
Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley – I have head really good things about this one and my library hold finally came in.
Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu – Middle grade book that has gotten a lot of good reviews. Plus, awesome cover.
A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris – Short stories from the Sookie Stackhouse series. Will read this while waiting for my library copy of Deadlocked to come in.
Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill (audiobook – not pictured) – I need a new audiobook to spice up my commute. I have been meaning to read this one for awhile now. So far it’s really creepy.
Ebooks Purchased
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (pre-order) – The next book in this series is coming out soon, which is probably why it was $0.99 on Kindle. I just saw Josephine on a panel at the LA Times Festival of Books and really liked her. Glad I was able to pick this one up on sale.
Lords of Deliverance Compendium by Larissa Ione – Love Larissa Ione and had to get this supplement to the Lords of Deliverance series. Another great deal for $0.99.
The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong – I have been wanting to read this one for awhile now and it went on sale for $1.99 and I could not resist.
Ruling Passion (Drake Chronicles #1-3) by Alyxandra Harvey – The first 3 books in the Drake Chronicles in one book for a great price. My friend love this series and I am hoping I do, too.
Inhale by Kendall Grey – After reading a couple of good reviews, I decided to give this romance a chance.
Bought
Crafty Chloe by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Heather Ross – Kelly is the author of the picture book Zombie in Love, which I adore. And I know Heather Ross from her fabric designs. This looks like a really cute kid’s book about being crafty, which I can totally relate to.
Wolfsbane and Mistletoe Anthology – Picked up a hc copy of this anthology for $2 at the used bookstore the other day. With stories by Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs, Carrie Vaughn and more, I think this will be a fun read.
Ghost Stories by Roald Dahl – I have been looking for this book for awhile and I love the cover.
The Secret and
Sizzle by Julie Garwood – Bought these for $0.50 at the library book sale. I am a fan of Julie Garwood’s highland romances and thought I would give one of her modern stories as well as another historical a try.
How To Be A Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson – I love Nigella and have been looking for this baking book of hers for awhile. Found a really good used copy this week.
What did you get this week? Leave a link and I’ll be glad to visit. Anyone else go see The Avengers this weekend? The movie theater was insane but it was worth it. Really fun movie. I still haven’t seen Cabin in the Woods. Maybe tomorrow. Happy weekend!
