Stacking The Shelves is hosted by Tyngas Reviews and is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. Including books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Hey book nerds! :D How are you guys all doing? :) I'm good! I think I pulled a muscle in my arm doing the painting the other day, so I'm in pain whenever I move it. It totally sucks. ;_; Oh well! I started reading Gone by Michael Grant last night and I'm really enjoying it so far! I'm only about 50 pages in, but I'm sure I'm going to love it. :) Keep an eye out for my July 2013 Wrap-Up over the next couple of days, I'm sorry that it's late - but I've been distracted. ^.^ Also, don't forget to keep an eye out for my blog post with my interview with Chicken House Publishing, I'm just editing it and putting it together. :D I hope you've all had a great week, and I'll talk to you guys again soon. ^.^

I feel like I say this every week - but I'm SO excited about my purchases for this week. I have a bad obsession with buying books, I'm running out of room and I'm still going! ^^; My favourite cover of my physical books is definitely Incarnate - it's so pretty! I just want to display it in my room. :P As for the e-books, you ALL know the drill by now, but if you're new - they were all freebies on Amazon at the time I purchased them! I'm sure lots of them still are, so go check. :D My favourite e-book cover HAS to be the one for Eternal Hope, it's gorgeous - and it has a hot guy on. ;) Have you read any of these books? Let me know! ^.^

Stacking The Shelves #35

Hey book nerds! :) I'm absolutely shattered from yesterday, we spend all day painting our hallway, and you wouldn't believe how sticky and horrible gloss is to work with! Anyway, I'm still reading Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder, I'm over half way done with it and I'm LOVING it! It's such a great book. :) I can't wait to finish it and see what happens. ^.^ Keep an eye out over the next week or so for my review of it. :) Lastly, I'm meeting with a publisher from Chicken House Publishing on Wednesday, (I can't wait!) and she's going to be showing me around the office and then we're going for a coffee and an informal interview. SO GUYS, I REALLY need help with some questions to ask her, I've only come up with three so far. ;_; You'll be credited on my post for the question of course, but I'd love to have some of your questions about publishing answered. Let me know! I hope you've all had a great week and I'll talk again soon! :D

Stacking The Shelves #34

Hey book nerds! :D How are you all doing today? :) The UK is in the middle of a heat wave at the moment and all this hot weather is killing me.. o_O It's not been this hot in the UK since 2006! :P It's kind of nice to have a proper Summer, but it is very hot. xD Anyway, last night I FINALLY started Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead! I'm not that far into it yet, but it’s quite good so far. I'm really not sure what I'm going to think about it overall, because it's a bit confusing so far. Oh well! I hope you've all had a great week, and I'll talk to you guys again soon! :D

Stacking The Shelves #33

Hey book nerds! :D How are you all doing today? :) The United Kingdom is in the middle of a heat wave at the moment and it's so bloody hot! I sat out in the sun for about 20 minutes yesterday and got sunburnt - I look like a lobster. :P The weather is supposed to stay for a while, but I won't hold my breath - the weather people always get it wrong. :3 As for my reading, I finished The Eternity Cure the other night - and oh my god! The book killed me, it really did! Why on EARTH do we have to wait until Spring 2014 for the next one?! It's not fair! If you want to hear more about what I thought of it, my review was posted yesterday, so just scroll down a bit. ^.^ I hope you've all had a great week! :D
