Giselle’s Stacking the Shelves [May 4th]

Posted by

XpressoStSGiselle
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.


Sooo is everyone ready for BEA!? I can’t believe we’re in May already! I feel like I was there just a couple of weeks ago but GAH! I’m so freaking excited to go back! Mostly I can’t wait to meet even more bloggers this year! I hope to see you all there! So yeah, this week my computer crapped itself and I was stuck on some dinosaur loaner, so I’m sorry for being a bit absent and slow to comment back and such this week! In books though it was quite the awesome week which brightened it up for sure! Have a look at what I got!

    There are some fabulous covers in this group!

    I’m looking forward to reading some reviews of the Bloody Mary book…although I’m not sure I’m brave enough to read it!

  2. Mel@thedailyprophecy

    All the BEA talk is making me so jealous, haha. I really want to go too, but I wish you all an awesome time there <3 Mary looks so creepy. Beware the wild, Blackbird & Exquisite Captive sound good. Happy reading!

  3. Emily @ Books & Cleverness

    So many amazing books! I’m super excited for Beware the Wild and My Last Kiss! I’ve read Second Star already and it was pretty good, too! I preordered We Were Liars and I can’t wait to read it! Happy reading! πŸ™‚

  4. Kelsey

    That sucks about your laptop, but hopefully you have it back and fixed soon! I don’t have a back-up so I would be screwed lol.

    I got Exquisite Captive too πŸ™‚ I’m glad to see you got Mortal Gods though, I can’t wait to read that one! Have a great week and enjoy all your new books!

  5. Amy @ Book Loving Mom

    Great haul babe!! Sorry to hear about your computer crapping out. I got a lot of the same Harper titles as you. πŸ™‚ I really want to read We Were Liars. The author is actually going to be doing a signing at one of my local book shops on May 31st. πŸ™‚ So excited for you that it’s almost BEA time again. I asked my mom and hubs to pay for part of it for a B-day present and not get me anything when it was my b-day, but really, I can’t take that much time from work yet. πŸ™

  6. Leanna

    We got some of the same books this week! I’m most looking forward to reading Even in Paradise and Welcome to the Dark House – both of those sound like such ‘me’ reads! πŸ™‚

  7. Amanda @ Book Badger

    Ooooo, lost of nice goodies here Giselle! I own Antigoddess but I need to read it ready for Mortal Gods, did you enjoy Antigoddess then? Welcome to the Dark House also looks so good, but I avoided Mary like the plague, looks too scary for me, I’m a wuss.. Hows the Dustlands Trilogy treating you? I read Blood Red Road and own Rebel Heart but haven’t read it yet, so I’ll have to see how the series ends for you soon! Great collection! πŸ˜€

  8. Roro

    So exited for kiss kill vanish and black bird . Eek . I did not like we were liars sadly . Happy reading Giselle

  9. Jasprit

    Giselle, you are so lucky that you get to go to BEA again this year, I know that you will have such an amazing time! And look at all those pretties! I can’t wait to read Kiss, Kill Vanish and Blackbird. Happy reading! πŸ™‚

  10. Carina Olsen

    I really enjoyed My Last Kiss πŸ˜€ Hope you do too. <3 And omg. SO JEALOUS about Mortal Gods πŸ™ Want that one so much, hih. <3 Happy reading sweetie πŸ™‚

  11. Kristin @ My ParaHangover

    My computer might be right behind yours… I hate that these stupid hunks of plastic get worse just by using them! I’ve got the 2 TB WD Passport sitting in the Amazon cart waiting for me to buy it so I can back up everything (ugh, no clue what I’m doing).

    I looked at On The Edge but it sounded just like Perfect Chemistry, and then they said “if you like Simone Elkeles…” – think I’ll wait and see what you think πŸ˜‰

    Mortal Gods… hmmmmm

    Have a great week!!!

  12. Kristin@Blood,Sweat and Books

    My husband works in the Funeral Industry so while I’m tempted to read Six Feet Over It, I also know I’ll probably just nitpick it to death thus possibly not enjoying it as much as I could. Blackbird sounds awesome and I see we both picked up a few of the Harper Teen titles on Edelweiss as well. Great haul this week!

    • Giselle

      Oh cool my husband also works for a funeral company – but he’s the IT guy (he takes care of the websites and online stuff). But he still sees a lot of the funeral technicalities like in that 6 Feet Under TV show >.<

  13. Eileen @ Singing and Reading in the Rain

    Second Star, Take Me On, and Even in Paradise look super good, so I really hope you enjoy all those books! I wanted to get in on the new Edelweiss title last week but I was on the fence because it felt weird to reqeust books I was probably NEVER going to review since the last of my scheduled posts run out around this week :O Also I hope you LOVE BEA! It was so fun last year and it’s definitely coming up fast. One of my friends is going on the Power Reader day (although I think it was renamed to BookCon or something for this year) so it’s definitely going to be fun haha. Happy reading, Giselle! <33

  14. Bonnie

    Ooooh you got Mortal Gods! I suck, I still have to read Antigoddess but I’m hoping to squeeze it in soon so I can be ready for MG. Loving that Scandalous Sisterhood cover! And oooooh Raging Star. I loved Blood Red Road but for some reason decided to hold off until I could read 2 and 3 back to back. Will be able to do that soon! Happy reading!
