Stacking The Shelves: A Forgotten July Haul

   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!


   So I kind of forgot to post this in July. These are all the books I got for the month of July!


Netgalley:



   I was so happy that I was able to acquire these e-arcs because they are some of the books I've been anticipating this year. Everyone has been raving about Everything Everything so I'll be reading it very soon. I'm currently reading Reawakened and I'm halfway done with it. Pretty good so far!

Physical Books:


   The month of July was super exciting because I got one of my most coveted books of the year!! (SWEET TEMPTATION!!!) I actually already it and I can't wait to post my review. Along with it came Walk On Earth A Stranger and I can't wait to read it as well.

   I also got my first package from Penguin which made my day because I've never gotten anything from them. I think lots of bloggers will understand this: it's always fun receiving a package from a publisher you've never have before especially one as big as Penguin. It reassures us that we are doing a good job as bloggers.

Free:



   I also found some really fun freebies on Amazon!

Still Free!

  2. Sweet Temptation! I'm so excited for that book! Or more accurately I need more Kaidan Rowe in my life. I've missed him terribly. Also Vengeance Road was so good, very unique, I really really enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy all your books :)

  8. I still haven't read Sweet Temptation. I will eventually. My review for Reawakened goes up this week, I love the culture and world building (I guess you could call it that) in it. I been eyeing Vengeance Road so hard, my request is still pending.

    Hope you enjoy all your books!

    1. Everyone seems to be loving Everything, Everything and Vengeance Road so I can't wait to get to them. But VR is going to be interesting since I've never read a Western novel :O

  13. Wow, fabulous haul! You are right, it is lovely to get that sort of acknowledgment, I am happy for you! I LOVED Everything, Everything- one of my favorites of the year so far! I am reading Vengeance Road now and liking it too. And Creed was also quite good- and insanely messed up! Hope you enjoy all of these :)
