Stacking The Shelves #101 – November 2nd

Posted on November 2, 2019 by Yvo

Stacking The Shelves is hosted at Tynga’s Reviews and is 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!

I know I’m taking a break from ARCs, but some titles are just impossible to resist… And of course the minute I decide to take a break, a new K.L. Slater becomes available on Netgalley. Soon after, I saw the second Cady Maddix book was a Read Now, and as I loved the first book last year I just couldn’t resist adding it to my shelf as well. And I honestly didn’t think my request for the new Jo Spain was going to be approved, but I’m not complaining it’s now hanging out on my kindle. 😉

Afterwards, I just couldn’t resist snatching an ARC of Deadly Silence after reading Meggy’s review… Best decision ever! ❤ I’ve already read and reviewed it, so it doesn’t count right? xD A few days later, I made the mistake of reading the blurb of Snakes And Ladders… Not one, but TWO serial killers and a profiler as a main lead?! How can I resist that, especially with that Read It! button right below?! You guessed right, I didn’t. xD Then Bookouture struck again and uploaded a new installment of one of my favorite detective series… I loved the first six books, so of course I HAVE to read book seven as well.

Stacking The Shelves #99 – October 19th

Posted on October 19, 2019 by Yvo

Oh yes, I’m still not keeping the promise to myself to stop adding new titles to my Netgalley shelf. I’m trying to limit myself, but some authors I just can’t resist… Especially if it’s a new book of a series I’ve been enjoying, which is what happened when I saw the fifth Natalie Ward book was available on Netgalley. Whoops? The Pursuit Of William Abbey is actually for a November blog tour I signed up for a while ago though and recently received the Netgalley widget for. So that one doesn’t really count right?

Stacking The Shelves #98 – October 5th

Posted on October 5, 2019 by Yvo

Oh yes, I’m still not keeping the promise to myself to stop adding new titles to my Netgalley shelf… That said, The Body In The Garden is recently due in April 2020, so plenty of time to read it still I guess. xD I love the sound of the blurb! I also couldn’t resist requesting the Feverwake sequel The Electric Heir, and I was stoked when I saw my request was actually approved. Due recently in March 2020, so at least no immediate pressure haha.

Stacking The Shelves #97 – September 28th

Posted on September 28, 2019 by Yvo

I was really trying not to request any new titles, but how could I resist the new Diane Chamberlain being a Read Now on Netgalley?? You guessed right, I didn’t. I’ve been meaning to try her work for ages now and this blurb sounds fascinating! Afterwards, my Netgalley wish for Ruthless Gods was actually granted… I never guessed this would happen and I’m SO excited to read this sequel!!! ❤ And I’m also excited to add another 2020 release to my shelf… The blurb of The Silent House sounds absolutely fantastic!

I also saw the new Caroline Mitchell and of course I couldn’t resist clicking that Read It! button… I always enjoy her books, and I’m looking forward to it. I’m also curious to see what the cover will be! Afterwards, I made a promise to myself to stop requesting further titles, but I made the mistake of reading the blurb of Kerry Wilkinson’s newest and there was no way on earth I was going to be able to resist that story. What a premise!

Stacking The Shelves #96 – July & August #bookhaul

Posted on September 21, 2019 by Yvo

It’s time for another #bookhaul post! It seems that I’ve been neglecting my book haul posts as the last one I did was in June… Whoops? Above the stack of books I added to my shelves in July and August. Two pre-orders are still waiting to be published: The Family by Louise Jensen will be released any day now and I’ve kind of lost hope of ever receiving my pre-order of Sleep by C.L. Taylor… It was supposed to have been published on April 4th then May 10th, but to this day it hasn’t been shipped and has been marked as ‘unavailable’ ever since. Guess who is going to give up and read Sleep on her kindle instead? xD

Stacking The Shelves #95 – September 14th

Posted on September 14, 2019 by Yvo

My Netgalley shelf is quickly spinning out of control… Even though I’ve been trying to catch up by reading mostly ARCs in the first two weeks of August. After reading Meggy’s review, I just couldn’t resist getting a copy of Here To Stay… And I never would have guessed my request of The Huntress would actually be approved, but I’m super excited to have this one to read now! I love my WWII historical fiction and I keep hearing fantastic things about this title. The same goes for The Missing Sister, a March 2020 release… I didn’t think my request would actually be approved, but I’m stoked to have it on my kindle as the blurb sounds absolutely fantastic!

I then couldn’t resist adding the two cat related humor books to my shelves as well, both because I love cats and I read one of Francesco Marciuliano’s other titles last year… They were short and fun reads and I already finished both.

Afterwards, Harper Impulse And Killer Reads uploaded a couple of new Read Now titles I just couldn’t resist, and Bookouture added a new title by a favorite author I just HAD to add… Also, I saw a cute 2020 contemporary Read Now I just couldn’t say no to. And somehow I now have a mountain of Netgalley ARCs to read. xD

I think most of you know by now I’m a huge fan of Rachel Amphlett’s books, and Kay Hunter is hands down one of my favorite detective series. I literally squeeled when book number eight landed on my kindle, and now the cover has been revealed I can safely gush about this book. I can’t wait to read this one! ❤

I also couldn’t resist signing up for two blog tours… Especially as I’m joining #Orentober month in the first place and the more Orenda books to celebrate during October, the better, right? ❤
