Stacking the Shelves: A Feast of Cake, Murder, and Moonlight

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 :)

*sigh* I really wanted to write a review yesterday, but instead the day went by with annoying but necessary things such as vacuuming, cleaning the whole kitchen, doing laundry, and finally putting up some of my many posters. I really like the way the walls look now though, so that was worth it :)
Tomorrow (aka today when you're reading this) I'm going to my mum's to bake Grittibänze with her (Swiss tradition in early December) and on Sunday it's baking Christmas cookies with my cousins. So... very bakey weekend ;) I'll post a picture of the Grittibänze because I can't explain what they are.


Anyway, let's get to the books! I've only got one pic of print books for you, the rest is all ebooks:

George R. R. Martin: A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast For Crows.
All of those were gifted to me by one of my best friends, who moved to Belgium the day afterwards. I really miss having her close :( But now I have an excuse to fly to Belgium every now and again ;)


For review

The Falconer, by Elizabeth May
The Murder Complex, by Lindsay Cummings
A Creature of Moonlight, by Rebecca Hahn

I've wanted The Falconer for forever!! I was surprised that I got approved o.O The Murder Complex is for download on Edelweiss, and since I've been following the author on twitter for like 2 years, I really wanted to check it out :) Creature of Moonlight was more of a whim, but it sounds like epic fantasy with dragons, so...

Bought ebooks

Night of Cake and Puppets, by Laini Taylor
Unravel Me, by Tahereh Mafi
Proxy, by Mindee Arnett

Laini Taylor was a given, and when I saw Unravel Me for only 2.50$ I just HAD to have it!! Shatter Me was so good (I read it about a week ago) and the matching Unravel Me edition only comes out in February, so this is a great way to get to read it earlier :) Proxy I wanted because I have Avalon, Mindee Arnett's full length, for review, and I like a prequel novella to get into the setting, especially if it's sci-fi.

That's it from me :) How was your week, and what pretties did you decorate your shelves with?
