Stacking the Shelves and Challenge Update

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to show off all the books we got that week, no matter what format or how we got them (bought, ARCs for review, gifted, won, borrowed...).

Since I'm still on my book buying ban (sucky but necessary), I only had one in my mailbox because I had preordered it. I was really happy to get it on release day! :D I'll start reading it over the weekend and I hope I can finish by Sunday night, because then I'll have completed the Sequels Challenge I'm participating in.

Scorch, by Gina Damico
Plus some origin swag including a signed sticker. I won that during the Origin Olympics that Jessica Khoury hosted shortly before the release.
Oh, and about the Scorch cover: it's actually shiny silver! That organge is a reflection. Strangely fitting though :P

September is for Sequels Challenge update:
I've reached the first half of my goals, which was to read & review Enshadowed and Black Heart. Click the titles to read my reviews.

I've got a good hundred pages left of Rachel Hawkins' Demon Glass, which I hope to read in the next 1.5 hours before I go to bed. That would leave me free to read & finish Scorch tomorrow (I'm writing this Friday night) and Sunday. I had originally planned to read Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz but I think Scorch will be a quicker read and the challenge ends on Sunday :P So I might complete it even though I started when half the time was gone, had to re-read a big book and started university again.
I also finished Ironskin by Tina Connolly, which will be published on Tuesday. I hope to get up my review on Monday.

Oh, and in case you haven't noticed: You've got until midnight on Sunday to squeeze in some last entries to my blogoversary giveaway ;) I'll probably pick the winner on Tuesday because I'll be busy on Monday. Good luck!

What books and goodies did you guys get this week? Link me up in the comments :)

Stacking The Shelves

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews for us to showcase any books we've gotten that week, be they gifted, bought, or received for review.

My book haul :) All of them are bought apart from Origin, which is a signed ARC I won in one of the author's competitions :D It's my first ARC and it makes me very happy and I just want to dig into it already ^^
Enshadowed, by Kelly Creagh
Black Heart, by Holly Black
Touch, by Jus Accardo
Uncommon Criminals, by Ally Carter

I've been meaning to read Touch forever, but whenever I wanted to get it, it was out of print or only available in an edition that for some reason was very expensive. I put of buying Black Heart for a long time because I was reluctant to buy it because of that dreadful cover change, but I finally caved. I hate that all 3 books look really different from one another on my shelves thogh :( This is such an amazing series and I would have loved to own them all in the same edition and format!
Enshadowed will be my next not-for-review read, just after I've re-read Nevermore. And by not-for-review I mean that I don't need to have it read or reviewed at a certain time, not that I won't review it at all ;)
I'm also looking forward to reading Uncommon Criminals because the first book, Heist Society, was so much fun! It's not top priority though; I have sooooo many unread books at the moment that choosing between them is making me crazy >.<
There are some more books that I ordered that are supposed to arrive hopefully soon... for example I got an email that Unspoken, by Sarah Rees Brennan, was pre-released and sent on its way, so I hope it'll get to me by release day / Tuesday!

It's been quiet here as concerns reviews this week. The reason is that I've read one book for a blog tour and can't post the review till next week, and I'm still on the book I started after that. It's been a bit slow going with my reading, but I hope my speed will pick back up soon!

What new books did you get? Show off your book haul and leave me a link so I can check it out :)
