Stacking the Shelves (61)

Posted by Giselle

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews featuring the books we got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week. 

Happy Canada Day weekend to my fellow Canadians! 🙂 We’re ready for a mud bog tomorrow and then some fireworks on Monday. Did you see the glimpse in My Reading Life this week? I had a blast doing that post! >.< There’s also the Cover Madness giveaway hop starting tonight so make sure to drop by later for a ton of great giveaways from over 60 blogs! Now for my book haul – it’s another pretty short one this week but it’s definitely sweet! Also, sorry for being a bad commenter this week I was uber busy – but next week is looking much lighter so I’ll be all in your faces again! 😉

THIS WEEK’S BOOK HAUL:

I received for review:

*Big thanks to JL Bryan, Simon & Schuster Canada, Grand Central Publishing, and Candlewick Press for these pretties!*

I bought:

I bought this audiobook and so far it’s awesome. It’s a full cast audio and I definitely recommend it over print as these actors make it so genuine. Dude, they make effin creepy zombie sounds!

Short and sweet again! 😉
Don’t forget to link me to your book haul! 🙂

   The Edge of Never was good for me as I love road trip books! And Anywhere but Here looks interest.. Somehow I like the not final cover better? It just looks really simple.. Great haul, Giselle, and happy Canada Day to my fellow Maple leafer 🙂

   Happy Canada Day Giselle. Fireworks are always so fun. Can’t wait to see World War Z the movie. The audio sounds interesting for it.

   I LOVED the audiobook of WWZ. I have listened to it twice and it was just as good the second time.

   Ooh, I can’t wait to hear your take on A MONSTER CALLS! I’ve been seeing loads of great reviews for that book, and you and I seem to have pretty much the same tastes in books, so. 🙂 And I just watched World War Z and it was GOOD. Can’t wait to give the book – or audiobook – a go. Glad you’re enjoying it so far; the zombie sounds make me so intrigued.

   Have an awesome week, Giselle!

   I need to catch up on Patrick Ness books – I loved his first series, and I’ve heard great things about the books he’s written since then. I hope you enjoy all your books, Giselle!

    You’re right, this is a SWEET haul G! Nomad sounds INSANE, I want to read that freaking book right now – you know me and time travel 😀 Oh and World War Z!!! I want to read the book and see the movie and all that fun stuff asap! Glad you’re enjoying the audio! Congrats on all these.

    I went to see World War Z today and really liked it. I must check out the audiobook soon! I definitely need to get started on some Patrick Ness books too. I’ve heard nothing but great things. Love the cover there! Hope you enjoy all your new books, Giselle. 🙂

    The Edge of Never! Can’t believe I haven’t read that yet, especially since I’ve had it for freaking ever. I keep hearing the beginning is very slow which is probably why, I hate slow books. The cast of World War Z narrates the book? Wow, that is so awesome!

    BTW, did you know Losing Hope is up on NetGalley?
    Hope you enjoy all your books!

    Ah, The Edge of Never is gorgeous! Also, I really want to read World War Z! I love zombies! Enjoy your lovelies!
    Here’s my haul!

    Really enjoyed the movie of World War Z so I do want to get the book. Full cast audios are the best so maybe I’ll check that out at the library. Loved The Edge of Never and hope you do to! Happy reading!

    That cover for A Monster Calls is GORGEOUS. That book totally made me sniffle (I’m not normally a crier) but I really hope you enjoy that, it’s pretty amazing. Happy Reading! 🙂

    The Edge of Never is a really enjoyable read 😀

    I haven’t heard of the others (but I’ve heard of Patrick Ness) 😮

    Happy reading.
