Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where everyone posts the books that they got for this week. It is usually posted on Saturdays.
So, this week I have quite a crazy haul. I went to the library a few times, and I also went to Goodwill, Dollar Tree, and other various locations, and got quite a few books. I also posted a book haul that I got from a local book sale yesterday that you can view here. All of the book's titles will be linked to Goodreads.
Purchased/Free:
- One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (I got this at the book sale yesterday and forgot to post it. I'm slowly collecting this series so I can marathon it.)
- The Turning by Jennifer Armintrout (I also got this at the book sale yesterday. I've never heard of it, but I love vampire books.)
- Wurm by Matthew J. Costello (I got this for my husband from my library's free bookshelf.)
- The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff (I've wanted to read this, and The Te of Piglet for a long time. I found them in a box set at Goodwill for a dollar.)
- The Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff
- Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan (I've wanted to read this for a long time, so when I saw an autographed copy at Goodwill for fifty cents, I couldn't resist.)
- World War Z by Max Brooks (I found this at Goodwill. I love anything about zombies.)
- The Last Prophecy by Jon Land (I did not realize this was close to the end of a series. I got it for my husband from the free bookshelf at my library.)
- Dead and Alive by Dean Koontz (I got this from the free bookshelf at my library. I love literary retellings. Now, I just need to find the first one, and I can marathon the series.)
- The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer (I found this at Dollar Tree. I loved The Interesting's by Meg Wolitzer. I hope this is just as good.)
- Red Riding Hood by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright (I found this at the Dollar Tree. I loved this movie. I hope the book is just as good, although I've heard mixed reviews on it.)
- Catherine by April Lindner (I also found this at the Dollar Tree. I've heard very mixed reviews on this book, but I figured for a dollar, why not try it and come to my own conclusions?)
- The Sex Lives of Cannibals by J. Maarten Troost (I found this on the free bookshelf at my library. I got it because the title sounded hilarious.)
- At Paradise Gate by Jane Smiley (I got this at the free bookshelf at the college I go to because I want to read more Pulitzer Prize winners.)
- Death's Apprentice by K.W. Jeter (I got this at the Dollar Tree for my husband.)
- Meridon by Philippa Gregory (I got this from the VA's free bookshelf. I didn't realize that it was the third book in a series. I'll have to find the other two. I've always wanted to try a Phillippa Gregory book.)
- Coming of Age in the Milky Way by Timothy Ferris (I got this from my library's free bookshelf for my husband.)
- A Mercy by Toni Morrison (I got this from Goodwill because I love Toni Morrison's books, and I have yet to read this.)
- A Phantom Enchantment by Eve Marie Mont (I got this from the free bookshelf at the VA. I didn't realize this was the third book in a series, so I'll have to find the other two. I love collecting ARCs, so when I saw this, I grabbed it.)
Library:
- Fairest by Marissa Meyer (This is one of my favorite series. I haven't read Cress yet though, so I'm a little hesitant to read this. Can anyone tell me if I can read this without reading Cress?)
- The Sin Eater's Daughter by Melinda Salisbury (I've heard good things about this all over Booktube.)
- Old Venus by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois (A new George R.R. Martin anthology?! Heck yes!)
- A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan (I couldn't resist this one. I've already started it, and I am loving it so far. My husband has started it as well, and is really enjoying it.)
Whew, that's all for my book haul this week. Have you read any of these books? If so, comment and let me know what you thought of them. Are you excited to read any of these? If so, let me know which ones. Also, if you want me to do any reviews on these books, please let me know which ones. If you have Stacking the Shelves post, or a similar post, please link it in the comments. I would love to see which books you have bought this week.
I just finished listening to The Sin Eater's Daughter and really liked it. Hope you enjoy it, and the rest of your haul!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm hoping to start it this week.
DeleteGreat haul! Red Riding Hood was such a good movie but I have yet to read the book. I'm currently reading The Sin Eater's Daughter and it's alright so far. Happy reading!

Thank you so much!

DeleteYou can totally read Fairest without having read Cress! It doesn't spoil it. I mean it fits perfectly between Cress and Winter, but it's a prequel so it works still. xD OH OH IT'S SO GOOD THO. I loved it. xD And I really want to read World War Z! I loved the movie, although I've heard they're insanely different?!
