Stacking the Shelves: Dystopian & Steampunk Edition

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted at Tynga's Reviews that allows us to showcase all the bookish goodies we got in the past week. These can be print books, ebooks, bought books, borrowed ones, review books, swag... you got it, you share it.


Books I had ordered that finally arrived:


Black City, by Elizabeth Richards
Divergent, by Veronica Roth
The Infernal Devices Manga: Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare (illustrator: HyeKyung Baeck)
Parasol Protectorate Box (books 1-5), by Gail Carriger


If you've been following this blog for any amount of time you know how much I've been CRAVING Black City!! I got it yesterday and I'm already more than halfway through. You can see the sticky notes. I got Divergent today on a whim. I was feeling sad (I'll explain later) and buying books in a physical store makes me happy. I've wanted the Infernal Devices manga ever since it was first announced - I love the series and I love manga, so... perfect combination. I've also been meaning to read Gail Carriger's books for forever so when I saw a boxset (at a great price) would be out, I preordered it. I need more steampunk in my life.


From Netgalley:



Dance of Shadows, by Yelena Black
Elemental: The First, by Alexandra May


Bought:



The Secret of Ella & Micha, by Jessica Sorensen


For a blog tour:



The Breakaway, by Michelle Davidson Argyle

  4. I loved Divergent! I still haven't read Insurgent though. I can't wait for Black City. It sounds super good! I haven't seen many reviews of it. I hope you enjoy all of your books!
