Stacking the Shelves: Charming Assassins and Peculiar Prodigies in Paper Towns

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 :)

Alright guy, I'm back! I moved on Tuesday and Wednesday but I'm mostly settled now with internet running and everything. I've even re-shelved most of my books and DVDs! There are still boxes I need to take care of and the kitchen's a mess, but I'll get to that :) It feels sooooo good to have my own place again!
But on to the books I got in the past two weeks, because I had a great haul!

For review

Charming, by Elliott James
Copperhead, Tina Connolly
Avalon, by Mindee Arnett


Death Sworn, by Leah Cypess
Cruel Beauty, by Rosamund Hodge
A Beautiful Fate, by Cat Mann


Steampunk Darcy, by Monica Fairview

It's been a loooong time since I got so many review books at once! Special thanks to authors Monica Fairview and Cat Mann, as well as to Leah Withers from Macmillan! I'm really excited about all of them!


Bought ebooks


The Transfer, by Veronica Roth
Don't Breathe A Word, by Holly Cupala
Rumspringa, by Cari Ouweneel
The Assassin's Curse, by Cassandra Rose Clarke

Rumspringa was for free when I downloaded it early in the week. The Transfer was on sale so I had to have it, and I liked it a lot more than Free Four to be honest! Don't Breathe a Word is a book I've been staring at and wanting for 2 years so I thought it was about time I pushed that button... As for Assassin's Curse, I've been on an assassin bender with Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy so anything with assassins, I want. And this one has pirates, too! Why was I put off by it before?!


Bought in print

The Peculiar, by Stefan Bachmann
Prodigy, by Marie Lu
Paper Towns, by John Green

After all the money I spent for moving I feel kinda guilty about this purchase, but yesterday was the last day I could get 20% off at the store instead of the usual student discount of 10%. So, you know, I had to make use of it! All three are books I've been wanting for months or even a year. So now I'm faced with the terrible question of What Do I Read First?!

Alrighty, you've seen my haul. And my question. Apart from the review books that are out soon, what should I read first? Recommendations? Also, I'm curious to see everyone else's haul :)
 

Waiting on Wednesday: Steampunk Darcy, by Monica Fairview

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 2013
Publisher: White Soup Press
Format: Paperback

Goodreads description:
William Darcy is obsessed with his ancestors. So much so that he intends to rebuild Pemberley (destroyed during the Uprising) stone by stone, and he wants to employ reconstruction expert Seraphene Grant to help him.

Or does he? Seraphene wasn’t born yesterday. She can smell a rat, particularly when it stinks all the way up to her airship. She knows Darcy is hiding something. But with the Authorities after her and her other options dwindling by the moment, the temptation of genuine English tea and a gorgeous Steampunk gentleman are very difficult to resist.

But what if Darcy’s mystery job courts nothing but trouble? What if Darcy is harboring a secret to kill for? When kiss comes to shove, will Darcy’s secret destroy Seraphene, or will it be her salvation?

Join us on a romantic adventure like no other in this whimsical Pride and Prejudice-inspired tribute, featuring Wickham, Georgiana, dirigibles, funky fish, and swash-buckling pirates.


This sounds like so much fun! I really like the sense of humor used in the description :) I'm not a huge Pride & Prejudice fan but I love Steampunk! Also, it promises airships and pirates, so how could I say no? ;)
Have you heard of Steampunk Darcy? And what are you spotlighting this Wednesday?
