New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {12}

For New Shelf Goodies, I'll be showing you what lovely books I acquired this week, whether from publishers, or the library, or from whatever half-crazed book-buying binge I happened to go on. :D (Inspired by Alea @ Pop Culture Junkie's This Week in Books & Tynga's Stacking the Shelves) The Weekly Nutshell will be just that...my week here at Stories & Sweeties, in a nutshell. (inspired by Ginger @ GReads and her recaps at the end of the TGIF posts) Note: This is not a meme, but I'll be hopping around to any other book haul-sharing posts I come across!

Here's my haul for the week:
For review:
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Second copy, so I'll be passing this one on! Can't wait to read it though!
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Second copy, see my giveaway for a chance to win it!
Advent by James Treadwell
The description of this one makes it sound awesome. Hope it is! :)

Bought:
For Darkness Shows The Star by Diana Peterfreund
So many great reviews, I had to grab myself a copy! :)

Huge thanks to HarperTeen, Scholastic, & Atria Books!

The Weekly Nutshell:
{Monday} Book Trailers: Defiance, Forsaken, & Waking Storms
{Tuesday} Whispers in Autumn: Interview with Trish Leigh & Giveaway!
{Wednesday} Waiting on Wednesday: Hollow by Richard Denney
{Thursday} Lazy Days of Summer Giveaway Hop!
{Friday} Review: Endlessly by Kiersten White

Happy reading to all! :D

    Oooooh, You must let me know what you think of FOR DARKNESS SHOWS THE STARS. I think the ending in the final copy is suppose to be different than the arc version. :D

    LOOOOOVE YOOOOOOU!!!!
