Stacking the Shelves: Unhinged Goblins Hitchhiking in the Dark

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 :) Once more I've left out a week of my haul, so this one's a bit bigger. Also, I'm in Belgium at the moment so I will be a bit slow responding to comments. I'll get back to everyone on Monday though! Returning all the comments is part of my blogger resolutions for 2014.


For review from Netgalley

Goblins, by Melanie Tushmore


For review / gifted

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams
Gretel and the Dark, by Eliza Granville

This is my FIRST EVER ARC that I got in print and wasn't from a giveaway! Thank you soooo much, Penguin UK!! :D
The Hitchhiker's guide was a late Christmas present from a new friend :)


Bought in print

The Essence, by Kimberly Derting
Unhinged, by A.G. Howard
Totenbraut, by Nina Blazon

I've wanted The Essence and Unhinged for about a year now, so I can't wait to get reading! :D Totenbraut was a spontaneous buy, there's this store that is closing so there's a huge sale going on and even though it's a big ass hardcover it was pretty cheap. Plus, I read something by Blazon about ten years ago and remember really liking it. I'ts a historical set in 18th century Serbia and there's vampires. Goodreads doesn't show me an English edition unfortunately but it's available in French and Italian.


Bought as ebooks

The Pirate's Wish, by Cassandra Rose Clarke
When We Collide, by A.L. Jackson

After reading The Assassin's Curse, I had to have the next book immediately! I've already read and enjoyed it :) Kind of sad that the story is over now :(
When We Collide is one I had on my wishlist for a while, and this week it was on sale for 99 cents! Mine has a different cover than the one above though, which unfortunately wasn't on GR.


That's it! What do you guys think? Have you read any of them? And what's new on your shelves?

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?
