Stacking the Shelves: mini-haul because I'm busy

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to display all the books we got in the previous week. You can include print or ebooks, bought, borrowed, for review, gifts, wins... just show us your new pretties :)

I didn't get all that many books this week, which is a good thing because I have way too many anyway. I'm sorry I haven't been very active and haven't posted a review in ages!!! I'm just so busy writing a paper (deadline on the 15th and I'm waaaay behind) and I've also had to work extra shifts. Bad combo. And writing a review always takes me minimum 1 hour - time that I just don't have right now, or I'm tired or otherwise unmotivated. In addition to all that, I've been working on a short story for my application to the Clarion West workshop this coming summer. Sigh I hope I can get things back on track soon, but I might be forced to go on a sort-of-hiatus for the next week :/

For Tour:

Rapture, by Phillip W. Simpson

It's been a while since I signed up for a tour (months, even though I have 2 tour stops in the coming weeks but I signed up for those ages ago) but I liked the concept for this one. Sound a bit different from your usual postapocalyptic book!

Kindle freebies when I got them:

Rocked Under, by Cora Hawkes
Glamour, by Penelope Fletcher
Identity, by Ted Dekker

Glamour was cover love, but I do enjoy fairie books :) I read a review of Identity a while back and was intrigued. And Rocked Under... well. Bad boy in a band ^^'


Okay, my haul isn't that mini after all... these waited for me in my mailbox when I got home Friday night:
Spell Bound, by Rachel Hawkins
The Book of Blood and Shadow, by Robin Wasserman

To be honest, I had forgotten that I'd ordered TBoBaS ^^'' I think it was only 4 euros or something... and since it plays in Prague and I'd been meaning to read the author for a while, I couldn't resist that offer.
I'm curious about Spell Bound and the conclusion of Hawkins' trilogy! And last Tuesday it was finally out on paperback.


What do you guys think of my haul? Anything I need to put on my priority list? And what did you get this week? Leave me a link so I can check it out :)
