Stacking The Shelves: ALA Midwinter Edition

   Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves; books you buy in physical stores or online; books you borrow from friends or the library, gifts, and  e-books!


   Here are all the books I was able to acquire at ALA. And I'm in love!! I think I pretty much got all the books that I wanted that are coming out this year.

   I think I'm set for life!! Just kidding. But with the amount of physical books I own that I haven't read (around 200), I'll be good for the next 3 years I think. On average, I read about 50 books a year. I set a goal to read 65 books this year. Hopefully I can read it.

For Review/Won:

   I got Ice Kissed for review and I'm super excited about it because I really loved the first book in that series. Then I won The Darkest Part of the Forest and Afterparty!!

• The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black | Goodreads
• Afterparty by Ann Redisch Stampler | Goodreads

ALA Midwinter Galore:

  I got two posters, pin buttons, bookmarks, Fairest pin-looking mirror, and these cute post-its.

  I got 5 tote bags!! I finally have the Harper Teen/Epic Reads tote bag. The nice booth lady gave me two. And then there was a cute Penguin Random House bag that has the image of a library card!! I asked for the Scholastic booth lady if they had their "I Read YA" tote bag because I saw someone carrying it, but they sadly ran out. I was mad at myself for not asking earlier but I didn't think they were going to have them :/

Then I picked up a lot of cool galleys. Most of which I really really wanted!!

I know that that was A LOT of books and I did say I was on a book buying ban. Technically I didn't buy any of these. So that's it!! Have you read any of these? Are you anticipating them? Comment down below with all your thoughts. I'd also love to know if you went to ALA :)
