Stacking the Shelves, or: how I outwitted The Ban
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to show off the new books we got, be they gifted, borrowed, bought, for review, print or ebooks.
I'm still on a book buying ban... but kindle freebies and kindle books bought with a giftcard I won don't count. Right? Right? It's called book buying ban after all, not book receiving ban *whistles innocently*
Anyway, here's my mini-haul:
Darkness Falls, by Jessica Sorensen
Crash, by Nicole Williams
Crossroads, by J.J. Bonds
Flight, by Alyssa Rose Ivy
I'm really curious about all of these! And I loooove the covers! A vampire dystopian, a ballet girl/bad boy contemporary, a vampire boarding school book, and an urban fantasy. Can't wait to get through my pile and dig into these :D (Yes you see just how big of a bad conscience I've got...)
Oh, and I posted two new reviews this week. You can check out my thoughts about Ironskin and Death and the Girl Next Door. I enjoyed both. What's next on the read-but-not-yet-reviewed pile is Carnival of Souls and Scorch (still). I've been in a bit of a review slump. And I should write two more reviews for books coming out on Tuesday but I haven't finished reading them yet.
Have you read any of these? And what's new on your book piles? Link me up in the comments :)

You're totally right, you didn't actually buy these books! No bad conscience for breaking the ban.
ReplyDeleteI'm also stuck with writing reviews, I'd rather be reading than sitting at my laptop.
Happy reading!

I agree no ban breaking took place. Happy reading :) I'm behind on my reviews as well.

I LOVED Flight!!! So good! I have been dying to read Darkness Falls for a long time! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by! New follower!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Crash everywhere lately! I hope it's as good as everyone else says! Haha...love how you skirt around that ban, too. These books all sound awesome. Can't wait to read your reviews!
ReplyDeleteDarkness Falls has a very pretty cover. And I love anything relating to ballet, so Crash immediately has my attention. I hope that you enjoy your new books. Have a great week. :)

Nice haul there and I think that any judge would find you completely innocent in using that loophole in beating your book buying ban.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your haul and plese check out my haul at http://resolution-corner.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/showcase-sundayletterbox-lovestacking_14.html

OOO I haven't heard of any of these! I'll have to check into them. And I'm pretty sure the word "gift" in giftcard absolves you from any responsibilities :D
ReplyDeleteI was on a book buying ban as well but I gave up this week. I just couldn't resist! But Kindle freebies totally don't count! Great books this week. I have heard really good things about Crash. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Stacking The Shelves!
I read Crash, a few weeks back, so behind on my reviews!!
ReplyDeleteThe rest are new to me and I'll so be checking them out!! Thanks for sharing!
And thanks for stopping by My STS!
*sigh* More book shopping to do. When will it end?!!! ;)
Crash looks so good! I have been getting lost in the new adult genre and enjoying so much of it. Hope you enjoy all of the new goods!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I love about Stacking the Shelves! There are a couple of books here that I've never heard of and now have to go check out :) And book receiving totally doesn't count against the ban lol!
ReplyDeleteNinja Girl
Oh Crash! I'm still in doubt if I'll read it... I've heard mixed things about it, but I love books about dancing. I'm curious what you'll think of it! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI have read 'They Flee from Me' and I love it! I do believe history can influence an interpretation in the bad way! I do try to do something sophisticated on my blog once in a while! ;)
