New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {40}

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)

It was terribly dead on my blog this week! I've been without a computer almost all week while we do some house rearranging and hardwood floors were being installed.  Very excited about that, but I definitely missed blogging

Here's what I got this week---huge thanks to Scholastic, Penguin, HarperTeen, & Random House for sending all these goodies my way!
This looks like the start of a great boarding school paranormal series!
Yay! So excited for this companion to Grimm Legacy!
Shaman Pandas! This looks so quirky.
SUPER excited for all of these!!

Very excited for all of these, but they are actually all duplicates for me. So keep an eye out, I'll either be putting these up for giveaway or trade in the next few weeks! ;)

I've heard awesome things about the first books to those last two--will have to track them down!
(So happy to have a hardcopy of this one!!)

No nutshell this week, since it was basically radio silence around here!  The house upheaval is still in process but I'm hoping to keep my computer set up until the very last moment before I move it to it's permanent spot!  I seriously need to catch up on my reviews, but I have been reading like crazy...expect reviews of This is What Happy Looks Like, The Art of Wishing, Pretty Girl-13, and The Holders  SOON! :)
