It’s been awhile since my last Stacking the Shelves, huh? If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll notice that I just got a new Kobo Mini eReader, thanks to their Black Friday sale, and I am LOVING it. I also amassed a ton of books since the Ontario Book Bloggers’ Meet-Up earlier in the month, and I’ve been going a bit nuts on NetGalley. Here’s what I got:
Bought or acquired myself:
From Amazon.ca (thanks to my wonderful future sis/bro-in-law):
A Wrinkle in Time Graphic Novel by Hope Larson and Madeleine L’Engle – So glad to finally have this in my hands – Madeleine L’Engle is my all-time favourite author, and I love Hope’s illustrations for this beautiful book.
Divergent by Veronica Roth – I really needed to own this. I’ve already re-read it, and I own Insurgent as well.
Meant to Be by Lauren Morill – looked too cute to pass up.
The Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty – bought from various Marketplace sellers on Amazon.ca – once I finished these, I had to have them. They are just as awesome and TEABS-inducing as Forever YA promised!
From Kobo.com and other places on the interwebs:
eBooks of Last Stand, Shot Through the Heart and Night Swimming by Niki Burnham – there was a sale on Shot Through the Heart, which I’ve been waiting to read for quite awhile, so I grabbed it for 95 cents, as well as the other two books. I love Niki’s writing style – it’s fun, sexy, and full of heart. And I feel like her YA books (yes, these are all YAs, despite the romance novel covers) are really believable. I’m in the middle of Shot Through the Heart right now, and it is SO. MUCH. FUN.
Reality Check by Niki Burnham – free short story from Smashwords – companion to the Royally Crushed series, which is awesome and really, really fun. If you haven’t read the three Royally Crushed books, you should really check them out.
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith – Found a free epub of this. For read and review for the Toronto Forever Young Adult Book Club – find us on Facebook and join if you’re interested!
From publishers:
Janie Face to Face by Caroline B. Cooney – requested and received from NetGalley. So excited about this. Thank you, Random House!
Being Henry David by Cal Armstead – requested and received from NetGalley – yay! Thank you,
Love You, Hate You and You’re So Sweet by Charis Marsh – thank you to my pal Jim at Dundurn Press! I love ballet books.
Pink by Lili Wilkinson and The Fame Game by Lauren Conrad – won from Tea Time with EpicReads #bookfeast giveaway!
Borrowed from library:
Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone and Smart Girls Get What They Want by Sarah Strohmeyer
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson – the wonderful Jamie at The Perpetual Page-Turner and The Broke and the Bookish recommended this so highly (and so did the EpicReads girls) that I had to grab this from the library asap. Had to show off my Kobo Mini, too!
From Ontario Book Bloggers’ Meet-Up earlier in November:
Whooo so many awesomeness! It was so glad to meet you Tiff! And just to talk even if it was only for a little while. Enjoy your books hun!
