New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {9}

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!

This week, some lovely new goodies came:
For Review:
A Witch in Love by Ruth Warburton
Amy loved book one, so she's excited to review this one also!

Glow & Spark by Amy Kathleen Ryan
I've been wanting to get around to reading Glow for awhile now---now I can read both together!

Bought:
Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
I've been literally counting the days until this one came out..and now it's finally here! The final cover is so gorgeous, but I wish they'd made it shinier!

Many thanks to St. Martin's Griffin & Hodder for the review books!

The Weekly Nutshell:

{Sunday} What's New: July YA Releases & Giveaway
{Tuesday}Waiting on Wednesday: Spellcaster by Claudia Gray
{Thursday} Once Blog Tour: An Interview with Anna Carey
{Friday} Review: The Repossession by Sam Hawksmoor

Hope everyone had a great week!

    I got a WITCH IN LOVE this week, too, which I'm very excited for, but the other three books are on my to-read list as well. Happy reading, my dear! :)

    So many pretty books! The covers for Glow & Spark are pretty, though I'm sure I'm going to read Spark, Glow didn't really convince me... :(
    But I can't wait for my copy of Tiger Lily to arrive!

    I don't have a mailbox this week, only got one book and I'm saving that for next week :)

    I haven't heard of any of these, so I have quite a lot of Goodreads searching to do (plus the covers are so pretty!). Hope you enjoy them :)

    TIGER LILY!!! I didn't realize that one is already out. It looks SO gorgeous. Bummer it isn't shinier though. I LOVE shiny covers. :D

    The girl on the first cover is a photographer I follow on DeviantArt, I believe! I'm excited to see how Tiger Lily plays out <3

    Here's my book haul!
