Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Titles link back to Goodreads
Phantom Eyes by Scott Tracey (purchased)
Spirit by Brigid Kemmerer (purchased)
Broken Dream by Eden Maguire (purchased)
Agent 21: Codebreaker by Chris Ryan (purchased)
Agent 21: Reloaded by Chris Ryan (purchased)
The Blood Keeper by Tessa Gratton (purchased)

These books were all $5 or less each, except for Spirit, but it was only $8.50. One of my local bookstores was having a 50% off sale in preparation for their eventual closing down once their lease ends. The shopping centre it’s in is being refurbished, so all the stores have to go. It’s sad, and I’m hoping they reopen once it’s done, but in the meantime–cheap books!

I haven’t started the Agent 21 series, and don’t know if I will anytime soon, but it’s good to have the books here if I get the urge to read a spy book. Likewise, I haven’t started Eden Maguire’s series, but if I start buying a series, I want to have them all, just in case I can’t find them later. I’m up to date with the Witch Eyes series, but after a big disappointment with how book two went down, I’m in no rush to get back into it. It’s another ‘one day’ book. I am looking forward to The Blood Keeper though. It’s been a while since I read the first one, but I have a feeling I enjoyed it. I’m always up for a good witch story–hard as they are to find. If you know of any that blew you away, let me know.

That’s it for this time. So, what books have you gotten lately? Let me know in the comments.

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren, which allows bloggers to share what books they’ve received in the past week. They can be from stores, contests, tours or publishers!

The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman (purchased)
A Witch In Winter by Ruth Warburton (purchased)
Twisted Heart by Eden Maguire (purchased)
Stefan’s Diaries: The Asylum by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec (purchased)
The Fallen: End of Days by Thomas E. Sniegoski (purchased)
In Darkness by Nick Lake (thanks to Publishers)
Nana V7 by Ai Yazawa (purchased)
Nana V8 by Ai Yazawa (purchased)

I went shopping last Friday and probably spent too much. I went through the YA aisle and stacked my arms full of books and went in search of the price scanner. I decided to be good, and put four back…but I’ll probably go back and get them later, anyway. I keep buying more volumes of the Nana manga, yet I still haven’t finished V1, still, I’ll probably buy more next time I go shopping again. I loved the anime, so I can’t wait to read these. The Blood and Shadow book sounds really cool, so I’m hoping to be able to slot it in sometime soon. I haven’t read any of Robin’s other books yet, but I will check those out too eventually. Basically everything I got this week was an impulse buy, the only book I was actually looking for was the Stefan’s Diaries one, but that’s the way it goes, isn’t it. Shopping in person is so much more fun than browsing online.

Here are my latest reviews if you want to check them out:
Armentrout, Jennifer L. Lux #1, Obsidian
Logsted, Gred, The Stuttering Tattoo
Malthea, Vlad The Paler
York, Kelley, Hushed

Dead Kiss by Daniel Waters (purchased)
Daughter Of Smoke And Bone by Laini Taylor (purchased)
Emblaze by Jessica Shirvington (purchased)
Department 19 by Will Hill (purchased)
Dark Angel by Eden Maguire (purchased)
Blood Rights by Kristen Painter (purchased)

I stopped in to Kmart on Friday to see if they had Angel Arias in a few days early. No such luck. I did however end up walking out with six books I hadn’t intended on buying. I didn’t particularly like this Daughter of Smoke and Bone cover when I’d seen stock photos online, but it looks a lot better in person. The shinyness won me over. Department 19 had been discounted to $4, so I grabbed it. It’s about some type of government conspiracy involving vampires. It’s going in my some day pile. I still need to start Jessica Shirvington’s series, since Emblaze is book three. I bought it thinking it might push me into making a move on those soon.

Here are my latest reviews if you want to check them out:
Faegen, Trinity The Mephisto Covenant #1, The Mephisto Covenant
Wignall, K.J. Mercian Trilogy #1, Blood
