Stacking the Shelves - or how I thought I was breaking the ban

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's reviews to showcase books we got over the week, no matter whether they're print or ebooks, gifted, borrowed, or bought. Just show off your new pretties ;)

Well, I think by now you're familiar with my book buying ban until I've read up on my stack... but honestly, I thought I broke it this week. A book I wanted was only 99c on amazon for two days so I bought it, with a slightly bad conscience. Then I realized that I actually still had some giftcard money on my account, so I didn't technically break the ban, even though I thought I was and bought the book anyway. It's just so hard not to buy any books! Anyhow, here's what I 'bought':

I looooove this cover! And I've been feeling like reading something a bit more adult. This is still NA, I think, but yeah. College setting. Gorgeous rockstar. Yes, please. You can check it out on goodreads here.

I also went to NetGalley (which isn't breaking the ban) and found a book I'd heard about more than a year ago but lost sight of again. I don't know whether it was picked up by a different publisher or why it suddenly showed up there, but I requested it and was approved. Click here to get to goodreads.

It has a different cover now, and I liked the old one better, personally:

But whatever, the story's still the same. And it's set in Prague! I was there for half a week this summer and loved the city. Also, it features not only vampires but also elves and witches and several other types of creatures. I look forward to reading it.

Oh, and I just found that Word and Breath is free on amazon at the moment (Friday night, dunno if it still is when you read this) so I had to have it.

Finally, I need to apologize. I was extremely busy this past week and had zero time to review anything or get a lot of non-university-related reading done. I hope I can post a review on Sunday though and be a better blogger next week.

Have you guys heard of or read these books? And what's new on your shelves?
