Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, and is a fun way to share your book haul for the week. I got some books from Amazon delivered this week, and there’s another batch on the way, which I’ll share next time. I also have a few new NetGalley titles, all of them Waiting on Wednesday picks, which is pretty cool! And, even though it’s not technically a book, I scored something else (keep reading if you’re curious). Here’s what I received:
For Review from NetGalley:
Hexed by Michelle Krys. Witches! I am really in the witch groove right now, and I can’t wait to read this. I don’t know why, but I’m getting a Buffy vibe from this.
Morningside Fall by Jay Posey. Oh Jay, you killed me with Three, and now you’re going to kill me again, right? This is book two in his Legends of the Duskwalker series. Amazing fantasy by an amazing writer.
Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn. I loved Kuehn’s Charm & Strange, it was so unusual. I’m hoping for more awesomeness from this follow-up.
Peacemaker by Marianne de Pierres. Marianne has lots of books out, but I’ve never read her before. Everything about this sounds like fun. Click on the link and read the synopsis!
Purchased:
The Unbound by Victoria Schwab. I can’t wait to read the follow-up to The Archived! I need me some more Wesley:)
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. I’ve seen this book on many end-of-the-year best lists, so I finally broke down and bought a copy.
Fortune’s Pawn by Rachel Bach. This book is highly rated by many bloggers that I trust, so of course I’m going to buy a copy:-)
And now for the other super exciting thing that happened this week. I got my San Diego Comic Con tickets! Whoopee! After lots of waiting, crying (my daughter, not me) and other various dramas, we managed to get tickets. My husband has official dubbed the Comic Con ticket acquisition process “Drama Con.”
That’s all for this week! I’d love to hear what’s on your shelves. Link me up!
So Jealous about you getting tickets to SDCC. why so i live in Australia?
It’s so hard to get tickets no matter where you live. There’s never a guarantee even if you’ve been in the past. But I hear there are some awesome cons in Australia, which I will never be able to go to:)
Dang. Everyone is suddenly raving about Three, just as its sequel comes out. How did Three fly over my radar completely at the time?
Fortunes Pawn is awesome. It is known.
I think you’d really love THREE. And it’s so beautifully written.
Have fun in July . Looking forward to hexed .i hope it’s good
Thank you:)
Yay for SDCC! Glad you got a copy of Complicit, and Fortune’s Pawn also sounds fantastic. I grabbed that one recently and can’t wait to check it out.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Thanks Lucy, you too:)
UGh..I haven’t been to a comic con in years. I went to an anime expo but I find the Apple con to have way more stuff.
Apple Con sounds like fun!
Hexed is very popular this week. I hope you enjoy your new haul of books this week. They look awesome.

I really wanted to read Hexed but well as I’m not in the US they didn’t accept. I hope you’ll like all your new books. Happy reading!
here is mine
So jealous of your ComicCon Tickets! I’ve always wanted to go to the San Diego one but since it’s just not feasable I’ve only go to the Toronto one. Maybe one day.
I feel lucky to get them, since it’s never a sure thing. I didn’t know there was one in Toronto, cool!
OH, I have Hexed. I hope it’s good! And I love Schwab’s Archived series. It’s so great! I can’t wait to read the next one! My STS: http://www.thecovercontessa.com/2014/02/staking-shelves-7.html
I wasn’t going to request Morningside Fall at first because my NetGalley load is on the verge of being bit out of hand at the moment…but then I saw that it was a READ NOW and well, that was the end of that! I enjoyed Three a lot!
Ooo, Hexed and Complicit! I saw those two available for request, but I didn’t request either. I need to put myself on a request ban, but I can’t seem to bring myself to do it. So I’m on a kinda book ban. A conditional book ban, if you may 😀
Anyway, have a fabulous weekend, Tammy!
Check out my STS post!
Congrats on Comic Con! I really want to go, but have to wait for open registration (yeah, good luck with that, lol). I really liked The Archived, so I hope The Unbound is wonderful, too. Happy reading!

I got in last year during open registration, so you certainly have a shot, Jenny! Good luck!
Hexed looks super good! I hope you can stop by mine.
I was excited for your books, but then I saw that Comic Con ticket and I got super excited! I’ve always wanted to go, but I haven’t been yet! Super exciting!
My STS
OMGGG I am so jealous! I really hope to visit Comic Con someday, it is like a dream come true for me! I hope you enjoy and make sure you post up lots of pics when you do go. Hexed and Buffy? Going to take a look now!
Here’s my STS this week.
Oh gosh! *fangirls* ComicCon! That is SO COOL. I want to read Complicit too! And the cover for Hexed is preeetty dang awesome! My StS!
I got Hexed too – sounds like a lot of fun! I really want to read Complicit too but I’ll have to wait until it releases. Netgalley rejection. Argh!
My STS
Ahhhhh so jealous of those ComicCon tickets!
Good life choice by picking up Steelheart, Brandon Sanderson is THE BEST.
Also! I got Complicit this week too! Happy reading 🙂
Have fun at ComicCon! I got Hexed too. I really liked both Steelheart and Fortune’s Pawn too. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
Great haul. I got The Archived for Christmas and can’t wait to read it, have heard so many great things about that series. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂 My STS.
man, everyone is getting hexed on netgalley this week. I need to go check that book out. I have been dying to read it but I didn’t know it was up on the site. lol I can’t wait to see what you think of it.

I loved Steelheart and I just picked up a copy of Archived this week. Enjoy your new books and have a wonderful week!
Wow! So jealous of your Comic-Con tickets! Plus a great haul of books this week.
Check out my STS
I watched the big bang theory comic con episode with James Earl Jones the other night – and it breaks my heart just how impossible it will be for me to ever get tickets. Makes me feel like a bitter ugly troll.
No no no! Not impossible. I got tickets for the first time last year, during open registration. You have to try! Just make sure you have a registered user name and password, and when the tickets go on sale, you’ll get an email with all the info. Don’t ever give up! I couldn’t even get tickets for my son yet (because he didn’t go last year) so I also have to try to get his during open registration.
Sigh – alright I’ll try – when is open registration anyway? I guess I better set up that user name and password stat!
I don’t even know when it is, but I would think in March sometime. They don’t tell you until a couple of days before, they’re very sneaky! Go to the website and register now! You can’t get tickets without a user name.
Hmmm maybe I should grab Peacemaker and Hexed??
Yeah, I would! I think Peacemaker looks like a hoot, and I love witch stories, so I definitely want to read Hexed.
