Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either for review, from the library, from the bookstore, or from trades.
The Kingdom of Little Wounds by Susann Cokal – The cover for this one caught my eye on Netgalley and once I read the synopsis, I couldn’t resist requesting it.
Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn – This book takes place over one night and I love those kinds of stories. There’s also some mystery involved and I’m all for that.
All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry – So at first, I thought this one was contemporary. However, it’s not. It seems to be a blend of contemporary and mystical which sounds pretty interesting. I love the cover!
Plague in the Mirror by Deborah Noyes – Time travel! That’s all. =)
The Truth About You & Me by Amanda Grace – I have yet to read any of Amanda Grace’s books but I’ve heard great things about them. This one looks like a fabulous contemporary so I hope to read it soon!
Gold (Bandia #2) by Talia Vance – I requested this one without having read the first book because of the amazing reviews I’ve read for Silver. I plan on reading them both back to back very soon.
Fire with Fire (Burn for Burn #2) by Siobahn Vivian & Jenny Han – I really enjoyed Burn for Burn so when I saw Fire with Fire up on Edelweiss I had to request it.
The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise – This one has been getting some great reviews lately so I definitely plan on reading my copy ASAP!
How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True by Sarah Strohmeyer – I adore the cover for this book! It’s so cute and summery. I think I’m going to save this one for a summer day by the pool. (Which will hopefully be soon!)
Golden by Jessi Kirby – The finished copy of this one is so pretty. And since this is the third copy that I’ve gotten, I think I should really read it soon.
The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler – Woo hoo! New Sarah Ockler book! After reading Bittersweet and completely loving it, I will read anything Sarah Ockler writes. This one is on my TBR for this month and I can’t wait to get to it!
Parallel by Lauren Miller – Sad thing about this book: UPS completely beat the crap out of it. The cover is actually broken in two places. However, I can still read it and after the great reviews it’s been getting, I definitely plan to.
Awaken (Abandon #3) by Meg Cabot – Can you say major happy dance? Because that’s what I did when I got this book in the mail. I did not even know they were making ARCs of this one so I was completely surprised when it showed up. I can’t wait to see how this trilogy ends.
Kindness for Weakness by Shawn Goodman – I have no idea what this book is about. Oops.
The Language Inside by Holly Thompson – This book is written in verse. I don’t know much more than that but I’ll give it a shot.
Shadowlark (Skylark #2) by Meagan Spooner – I haven’t read Skylark yet but I’ve heard great things about it and plan to read it this summer!
A Wounded Name by Dot Hutchison – Not only does this one have an amazing cover but it’s a retelling of Hamlet!
Leap of Faith by Jamie Blair – I was part of the cover reveal for this one and ever since I’ve been dying to read it. When I saw it on Edelweiss I just had to download it!
Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas – I haven’t heard anything about this one yet but it looks really creepy and awesome.
The Whole Stupid Way We Are by N. Griffin – I don’t know anything about this book but it has a pretty cover!
Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts – I love the cover of this book! Seriously, you guys, it’s even better in person. The story also sounds so amazing. An asteroid is heading towards earth and there’s only a week left to live. Also, I’m going to assume this one is a standalone.
Point of Retreat (Slammed #2) by Colleen Hoover – I just read Slammed a few weeks ago and when I saw this one was a “Read Now” title on Netgalley, I just couldn’t resist. I’ve already read it and my review should be up very soon!
Outcast by Adrienne Kress – I have a cover problem. I requested this one based on the cover alone. It’s so unique! I just couldn’t resist.
The Summer I Became A Nerd by Leah Rae Miller – I’ve been hearing so many great things about this book I just had to give it a shot. Also, it’s part of the contemporary challenge so I can’t go wrong there!
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – I might be the only blogger on the planet who has not read Eleanor & Park but Fangirl sounds a bit more interesting to me so I thought I’d start with it.
The Year of Shadows by Claire LeGrand – I have heard amazing things about Claire LeGrand’s debut novel, The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls, so when I saw this one on Edelweiss I went ahead and requested it. I’ve really enjoyed the past few middle grade novels I’ve read so I hope this one continues the streak.
Blackout by Robison Wells – I have a friend who completely adored Robison Wells’ other books, Variant and Feedback, and since this is a completely new story from him, I thought I’d give it a shot.
Twinmaker by Sean Williams – The cover for this one doesn’t really do anything for me but the story sure does. It sounds really fast-paced and awesome.
The Paradox of Vertical Flight by Emil Ostrovski – I haven’t heard anything about this book but the story just sounds amazing. Also, it says it will appeal to fans of John Green, Jay Asher, and Chris Crutcher so I’m definitely reading this one.
No Angel by Helen Keeble – This sounds like such a fun book. Every now and then I love paranormal books with humor so I’m looking forward to this one.
Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis – I requested this book based on Shanyn over at Chick Loves Lit’s review. If she loved it, I’m pretty sure I will too.
To Be Perfectly Honest by Sonya Sones – I’ve never read anything by Sonya Sones but I’ve heard good things about her work. Also, this one is written in verse so it should be a quick read.
Hideous Love by Stephanie Hemphill – This is the story of Mary Shelley told in verse. I’ve read Stephanie Hemphill’s previous verse novel, Wicked Girls, and really enjoyed it so I’m hoping I enjoy this one too.
Eat, Brains, Love by Jeff Hart – Romance with zombies. I’m all over this book.
Projection by Risa Green – The blurb says that this one is perfect for fans of Dan Brown so I’m excited to read it.
How To Love by Katie Cotugno – I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to wait to read this one. It sounds so freaking amazing!
Across A Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund – This is probably one of my most exciting books for the past month. I loved For Darkness Shows the Stars so I can’t wait to read this companion novel.
Dance of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death #2) by Bethany Griffin – This is my other most exciting book of the month. I adored Masque of the Red Death so I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Asylum by Madeleine Roux – This book looks super creepy and awesome!
Horde (Razorland #3) by Ann Aguirre – Woo hoo. This is the final book in the trilogy and I can’t wait to see what happens.
What books have you gotten recently? And what books do you think I should read first?

Stacking the Shelves (19)
Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either for review, from the library, from the bookstore, or from trades.
The Kingdom of Little Wounds by Susann Cokal – The cover for this one caught my eye on Netgalley and once I read the synopsis, I couldn’t resist requesting it.
Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn – This book takes place over one night and I love those kinds of stories. There’s also some mystery involved and I’m all for that.
All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry – So at first, I thought this one was contemporary. However, it’s not. It seems to be a blend of contemporary and mystical which sounds pretty interesting. I love the cover!
Plague in the Mirror by Deborah Noyes – Time travel! That’s all. =)
The Truth About You & Me by Amanda Grace – I have yet to read any of Amanda Grace’s books but I’ve heard great things about them. This one looks like a fabulous contemporary so I hope to read it soon!
Gold (Bandia #2) by Talia Vance – I requested this one without having read the first book because of the amazing reviews I’ve read for Silver. I plan on reading them both back to back very soon.
Fire with Fire (Burn for Burn #2) by Siobahn Vivian & Jenny Han – I really enjoyed Burn for Burn so when I saw Fire with Fire up on Edelweiss I had to request it.
The Boyfriend App by Katie Sise – This one has been getting some great reviews lately so I definitely plan on reading my copy ASAP!
How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True by Sarah Strohmeyer – I adore the cover for this book! It’s so cute and summery. I think I’m going to save this one for a summer day by the pool. (Which will hopefully be soon!)
Golden by Jessi Kirby – The finished copy of this one is so pretty. And since this is the third copy that I’ve gotten, I think I should really read it soon.
The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler – Woo hoo! New Sarah Ockler book! After reading Bittersweet and completely loving it, I will read anything Sarah Ockler writes. This one is on my TBR for this month and I can’t wait to get to it!
Parallel by Lauren Miller – Sad thing about this book: UPS completely beat the crap out of it. The cover is actually broken in two places. However, I can still read it and after the great reviews it’s been getting, I definitely plan to.
Awaken (Abandon #3) by Meg Cabot – Can you say major happy dance? Because that’s what I did when I got this book in the mail. I did not even know they were making ARCs of this one so I was completely surprised when it showed up. I can’t wait to see how this trilogy ends.
Kindness for Weakness by Shawn Goodman – I have no idea what this book is about. Oops.
The Language Inside by Holly Thompson – This book is written in verse. I don’t know much more than that but I’ll give it a shot.
Shadowlark (Skylark #2) by Meagan Spooner – I haven’t read Skylark yet but I’ve heard great things about it and plan to read it this summer!
A Wounded Name by Dot Hutchison – Not only does this one have an amazing cover but it’s a retelling of Hamlet!
Leap of Faith by Jamie Blair – I was part of the cover reveal for this one and ever since I’ve been dying to read it. When I saw it on Edelweiss I just had to download it!
Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas – I haven’t heard anything about this one yet but it looks really creepy and awesome.
The Whole Stupid Way We Are by N. Griffin – I don’t know anything about this book but it has a pretty cover!
Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts – I love the cover of this book! Seriously, you guys, it’s even better in person. The story also sounds so amazing. An asteroid is heading towards earth and there’s only a week left to live. Also, I’m going to assume this one is a standalone.
Point of Retreat (Slammed #2) by Colleen Hoover – I just read Slammed a few weeks ago and when I saw this one was a “Read Now” title on Netgalley, I just couldn’t resist. I’ve already read it and my review should be up very soon!
Outcast by Adrienne Kress – I have a cover problem. I requested this one based on the cover alone. It’s so unique! I just couldn’t resist.
The Summer I Became A Nerd by Leah Rae Miller – I’ve been hearing so many great things about this book I just had to give it a shot. Also, it’s part of the contemporary challenge so I can’t go wrong there!
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell – I might be the only blogger on the planet who has not read Eleanor & Park but Fangirl sounds a bit more interesting to me so I thought I’d start with it.
The Year of Shadows by Claire LeGrand – I have heard amazing things about Claire LeGrand’s debut novel, The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls, so when I saw this one on Edelweiss I went ahead and requested it. I’ve really enjoyed the past few middle grade novels I’ve read so I hope this one continues the streak.
Blackout by Robison Wells – I have a friend who completely adored Robison Wells’ other books, Variant and Feedback, and since this is a completely new story from him, I thought I’d give it a shot.
Twinmaker by Sean Williams – The cover for this one doesn’t really do anything for me but the story sure does. It sounds really fast-paced and awesome.
The Paradox of Vertical Flight by Emil Ostrovski – I haven’t heard anything about this book but the story just sounds amazing. Also, it says it will appeal to fans of John Green, Jay Asher, and Chris Crutcher so I’m definitely reading this one.
No Angel by Helen Keeble – This sounds like such a fun book. Every now and then I love paranormal books with humor so I’m looking forward to this one.
Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis – I requested this book based on Shanyn over at Chick Loves Lit’s review. If she loved it, I’m pretty sure I will too.
To Be Perfectly Honest by Sonya Sones – I’ve never read anything by Sonya Sones but I’ve heard good things about her work. Also, this one is written in verse so it should be a quick read.
Hideous Love by Stephanie Hemphill – This is the story of Mary Shelley told in verse. I’ve read Stephanie Hemphill’s previous verse novel, Wicked Girls, and really enjoyed it so I’m hoping I enjoy this one too.
Eat, Brains, Love by Jeff Hart – Romance with zombies. I’m all over this book.
Projection by Risa Green – The blurb says that this one is perfect for fans of Dan Brown so I’m excited to read it.
How To Love by Katie Cotugno – I don’t know how long I’m going to be able to wait to read this one. It sounds so freaking amazing!
Across A Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund – This is probably one of my most exciting books for the past month. I loved For Darkness Shows the Stars so I can’t wait to read this companion novel.
Dance of the Red Death (Masque of the Red Death #2) by Bethany Griffin – This is my other most exciting book of the month. I adored Masque of the Red Death so I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Asylum by Madeleine Roux – This book looks super creepy and awesome!
Horde (Razorland #3) by Ann Aguirre – Woo hoo. This is the final book in the trilogy and I can’t wait to see what happens.
What books have you gotten recently? And what books do you think I should read first?

Great books! I have been waiting to read the summer I became a nerd, the book of broken hearts, and the boyfriend app really badly! I hope you enjoy them 🙂
YES! Not a Drop to Drink!!! I wish I could read it again for the first time. It’s so epic.
Horde, I’m dying for that one! And I actually haven’t read Eleanor & Park either *winces* Lots of great books up there!
Horde sounds amazing. You got so many great books. I hope you love all of them. So many good books to choose from.

Katie, you received quite a number of awesome books there! Enjoy them all 😀
A few happen to be on my wishlist (like The Boyfriend App and The Book of Broken Hearts) and others were in my mailbox this week (Golden among others) or ended up on my ereader (Fangirl, The Summer I Became A Nerd. Also, wow, the third book in Meg Cabot’s Abandon series… I cannot wait for that one!
Great haul Katie!!

Horde is already out!? And it’s book three!? Well then, I obviously missed book #2, guess I am going to have to request a copy at the library! Enjoy!!!
I can’t wait to read Dance of Red Death to find out what happens next! Rachel got Outcast too! I can’t wait to see what people think of it after I LOVED Kress’s Friday Society! Too fun! Happy reading!
Our Week in Books @Libby Blog
Charm & Strange! Golden and The Book of Broken Hearts both look fabulous as well!
Hope you enjoy them all, Katie! 🙂
Amazing Haul. The Kingdom of Little Wounds, A Wounded Name, and Twinmaker (just to name a few) look great! I will have to go look into several of these. Thanks for sharing so many interesting books! Happy Reading.
Here are my newest additions
So many awesome books! I totally did a happy dance when I was approved for Fangirl. I really recommend you give Eleanor & Park a try. I didn’t think it would be my kind of book, but I was so wrong.
I just read The Summer I Became a Nerd. I liked it, but I wasn’t blown away or anything. But it’s a good summer read 🙂
Enjoy all your books! Happy reading!!
Plague in the Mirror sounds like an interesting historical fantasy!
Lots of awesomeness (many books which you have loved 😉
