Stacking
the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, every
Weekend. This is to share books i have acquired from various sources. Physical books & ebooks both are
welcome. If its something being sent to me by mail, I will not mention it until I actually
receive it.
So I had a goal of only 10 books this week....But only in physical books I was sent that I won or requested prior to this week! So I excuse myself mostly. I did pretty good. Only over by a few.
I have created my first vlog! Sorry if it is horrible. But It is the first time in front of a video camera for me since I was a child. Yes it is a regular video camera, my wonderful guy was willing to hold. I don't have a cam for my computer yet. I got nervous and ended a bit abruptly, so I deeply apologize for that. Anyways, I would love to know what you think. Do you prefer just pictures and links or do you like the video for physical books I received.
Links are below the video. Video does not include ebooks. Those are shown below as well.

And that is it! For me, this was a very well behaved week, giving me time to focus more on reading, less on collecting! Mind you, I get to go shopping next week so I dont think my good streak will hold.
Again, let me know if you prefer pictures or vlog post style please.
Also, be sure to check out the giveaway I am running. It was very last minute so nothing fancy but still.
I am also doing a special 3 month blogversary giveaway mid-week so be sure to come back soon! Lots of giveaways end of June-July so keep an eye out!
Ooo, Dragon Badge! That one looks awesome! I'm looking it up on Goodreads right now. Same with The Birr Elixir. I hope you enjoy all of your books! I haven't heard of most of them, but they sound good :D
ReplyDeleteCheck out my STS post!
Birr Elixir was only .99. Even though I am broke I just had to have it. :)
DeleteI hope you enjoy your books! I keep seeing Entangled around and wondering if I should read it!
ReplyDeleteIf it is still free, never hurts to check it out. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSome interesting picks - hope the reading is worth the collecting
ReplyDeleteHere's my shelf additions for the week
Not a super exciting week but I needed a calm week to do some catch-up reading. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteEntangled sounds pretty good. I've seen it around quite a lot. I hope you enjoy everything. :)
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
The price was right. :) I sounds really good and I love the cover. IF the story lives up to it I got a great deal! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat's a lot of books
ReplyDeleteFor me, this is a small amount. I normally get 20 books or so a week since I started this blog.
DeleteYou got a lot of books so that'r eally cool. Makes me feel like a loser :P
ReplyDeleteFollowed!
My STS... Don’t forget to follow!
- Nova @ Musings of a Blogder
No feeling like a loser. All through Dec-Feb the only books I got were library books. The reading is more important than the collecting :)
DeleteSome beautiful covers you've got here. I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of any of these books before, but I hope you enjoy them all! (:
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my STS!
Thanks for the return stop :)
DeleteI got Shadow too! I hope you enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
-Marianne @ Boricuan Bookworms
Sure, you have a great blog! Thanks for the return stop!
DeleteHope you enjoy your books! You did pretty well on not going too far over!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wish the same was true of this week. But being Birthday week, I am excused :)
DeleteYou can limit the number of books you buy???? Thanks for stopping by my blog; following you back. :)
ReplyDeleteNormally, no but since I have gotten over 100 books in the past 5-6 weeks I had to. I have a couple thousand books I have yet to read so I need to start taming the collecting somehow. Thanks for the return stop and follow :)
DeleteI've got Entangled and Shadow as freebies too, but I haven't read them yet.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! Hope you enjoy them all!
Thanks for stopping by my STS
Thanks for the return stop. Hope we both enjoy Entangled and Shadow ;)
DeleteWow -- you got a ton of great books. I'm terrible about limiting my book buying too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by! Jen @ YA Romantics
I am terrible at it but I have to try at least once in a while. This week we are now it...WAY too many books. Thanks for the return stop :)
DeleteGreat haul. I think I got Meant To be awhile back for free. Love the cover for Entangled.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my book haul.
Thanks! Entangled does have a lovely cover!
DeleteA lot of new to me books! I've been wanting to read Entangled forever. Such a great frosty cover! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteIt is! A perfect winter read. Especially since I don't get snow where I live now. I must live my white months through books ;)
DeleteNice books! :) Happy reading. Thanks for stopping by
ReplyDeleteI've got Meant To Be, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul and thanks for stopping by my blog!
I hope we both love it :)
DeleteThanks for visiting. Hope you enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the return stop!
DeleteCongrats on your winnings! I'm dying to read The Flame in the Mist. And I loved your vlog! Thanks so much for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And thanks for the return stop as well.
DeleteI got Eantangled so long ago but still haven't read it. Will have to soon. Great haul, happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI get so many books I alway sfind books on blogs that I have to go, "oh, yeah, I need to read that still." Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteEntangled is one I'm very interested in reading. Great haul! Thanks for stopping by my post as well.
ReplyDeleteWell if you ever get it I hope you enjoy it :)
DeleteHope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThank you so much for stopping by Bella's Shelf! Sorry it took a few days to get back to you. I LOVE LOVE hangin on Amazon and grabbing all of the awesome free books! I have had to move stuff to a cloud I got so many when I first got my Kindle Fire..lolz..
ReplyDeleteALL of them look good. I am going to grab Zombie Games, Walker, Meant to Be, Ever Fall..lolz..There I go..
I followed you GFC & BlogLovin. I honestly prefer BL over GFC & Google Reader since its going the way of the dinosaurs soon :(
I moved to WP because of that reason actually.
You have a really cool site look too. I LOVE dragons.
Have a great week & dont be a stranger.
Bella's Shelf
Lol, it is easy to get carried away with the freebies, huh? i try to limit myself. Sometimes are better than others... Since i own a couple thousand books I still need to read I just remind myself of that before grabbing it. No point in adding books to my shelf if I never get to it. Sometimes it works, other times i still want the book. :)
DeleteThanks for following. Glad you liked the site.
I look forward to our sharing of some hopefully great books between out blogs :)
You shop like I do (FREE). I picked up the Zombie Games book because it was still free. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteFree is good! Especially since I am dead broke. If you ever see any other free books let me know. I try to post them on the facebook page if I find them. feel free to check it out to keep up with current goodies or share your own there. :)
DeleteI get the majority of mine from this facebook page. It posts a couple at $.99 and a couple free ones, 3 or 4 times a day.
Deletehttps://www.facebook.com/EreaderNewsToday
I haven't heard of a lot of thee but I hope they are all awesome! Free books are two words that are glorious when put together. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my post!
~Sara @ Forever 17 Books
Free is nice to get at times. I post the free books I get on my Facebook page the day I get them so followers can be sure to gets them while the offer is still available if you are interested. Thanks for the return stop!
DeleteEntangled looks good. I have it on Kindle but just haven't read it yet. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI hope we both enjoy it then ;) Thanks for the return stop!
DeleteI just found this on the Birr Elixir, and had to say thank you for the kind words. If I can answer any questions, or be of service in any way, I'd be honored.
ReplyDelete- Jo (the Author)
(I love the cover too. Ronnell Porter created it.)
I am really excited for this book. I first say it on Mommasaysread.com and had to get it. :) I am very excited to read it! Thanks so much for stopping by.
DeleteHi, there!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late comment back....time is definitely NOT my friend! But I always try to return a comment when people visit my blog and leave their thoughts on one of my posts, so here I am!
You are SO freaking lucky!!! All those awesome books!! (Well, to be honest, I don't read e-books, but you're still a very lucky girl!!)
Right off the bat, I can tell you that I'm very interested in the "Dragon Badge" books, because I LOVE fantasy! I will look further into the others. LOVE those book covers!! I'm also going to investigate the e-books. Some of them just might be available in print, as well.
I like your vlog! Sure, you were a little nervous, but heck, this was your first time. I think vlogs are very entertaining for this kind of post. I don't dare do them myself, though. Too self-conscious....but I hope you continue to do them!!
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my STS post last Saturday!! :)
Thanks for the return stop. I am always behind on comments so it is okay. We have to have lives away from blogging at some point. :)
DeleteI hope you can find some of these in print. I am more a print person, its just...free! Hard to refuse.
I am glad you liked the vlog. I probably won't do them weekly but I might do 1-2 a month.
Awesome haul. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Thanks
