Stacking the Shelves: in which angels fall and witches are found

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to showcase all the books we got in the past week. Those can be bought, won, gifted, for review, borrowed, print or ebooks... no matter, just share what you got :)

Hey guys... here's to another week of me not posting all that much, but at least I got a review up yesterday :) You can click it in the left sidebar.


For review

Witch Finder, by Ruth Warburton

The plot sounds really interesting and it's set in my favorite time period :)


Won

Premeditated, by Josin L. McQuein

I won this one from Wendy at The Midnight Garden and I can't thank her enough! I've wanted to read that one since more than a year before it came out and it was totally worth the wait! (Yes, I've already read it... couldn't resist)


Bought

Angelfall, by Susan Ee
Lick, by Kylie Scot

People have been raving about Angelfall for forever, so when I found it for a reasonable price at the bookstore I decided I'd resisted long enough. As for Lick, the whole rockstar, waking-up-married-in-Vegas thing isn't usually my first choice but it sounded cool and I've read a lot of positive reviews... so we'll see.

That's it from me! Have you read any of them? And what did you get this week?

Waiting on Wednesday: Premediated, by Josin McQuein

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine to spotlight upcoming book releases that we're excited about.


This week's pick:

Release date: October 8, 2013
Publisher: Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Format: Hardcover, 336 pages

Goodreads description:
A week ago, Dinah’s cousin Claire cut her wrists.

Five days ago, Dinah found Claire’s diary and discovered why.

Three days ago, Dinah stopped crying and came up with a plan.

Two days ago, she ditched her piercings and bleached the black dye from her hair.

Yesterday, knee socks and uniform plaid became a predator’s camouflage.

Today, she’ll find the boy who broke Claire.

By tomorrow, he’ll wish he were dead.


I've known about this one for a while but now that the release date is no longer ages off, I'm getting excited again! I love revenge stories. I want to know what happened to Claire. I want to know what will happen to Dinah's plans for revenge. I want to see the changes she goes through (pierced rock chick to bleach blonde preppy girl?) and just how far she's willing to take this.
Have you heard of Premediated? Does it sound like your type of thing? Also, please link me up to your own WoW pick :)
