New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {17}

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 what I got this week:
For Review:
Yesterday by C.K. Kelly Martin
Haven't heard much about this..looks interesting, though!
Shadowfell by Juliet Marillier
Have heard so many fantastic things about this author!
Hanging by a Thread by Sophie Littlefield
Just what I've been looking for: Creepy. Mystery. Stand-alone.
Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan
Been anticipating this one for ages!
Foretold: 14 Tales of Prophecy and Prediction
Anthology feat. Carrie Ryan, Laini Taylor, Lisa McMann, Malinda Lo, and others!

For review (cont.)
Island of Doom (Hunchback Assignments #4) by Arthur Slade
Might try this series out---I've been loving steampunk lately!
Beyond by Graham McNamee
All of this author's book looks so creepy... this one included!

(Thanks so much to Random House for all of these!)

Traded for/Gifted:

Keeper of Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger (signed)
The Locket by Stacey Jay
(Thank you so much, Rebecca!)

New On My Nook:


Awry by Chelsea Fine
Just finished book one and immediately grabbed book two---really enjoying this series!

The Art of Disappearing by Elena Perez
I've been kind of veering away from ebooks lately, but this was pitched to me and sounded really interesting! Thanks, Elena!

The Weekly Nutshell:
{Tuesday} Amy's View: Fathomless by Jackson Pearce
{Wednesday} Waiting on Wednesday: The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
{Thursday} Book Trailers: Hidden, Ten, & an inside look at Breathe
