New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {48}

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 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)

Here's what I got this week:

Borrowed: 

Teardrop by Lauren Kate

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! That is all.
 Thank you, my dear! (you know who you are! lol)

Gifted:

A Darkness Strange & Lovely by Susan Dennard

These Broken Stars by Meagan Spooner & Amie Kaufman

For both of these: I die! I faint! I...happy dance!! 

For review: 

This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales

 This looks good--fun quirky characters.

Some Quiet Place by Kelsey Sutton

OH I've been anticipating this one forever!

For Review (cont)

The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan

Lovely velvety finished copy :) I'm a sucker for those.

The Wicked Game by Michelle Zink

SO excited...love this author. 

Man Made Boy by Jon Skovron

Irresistable Frankie cover! Love!

Blythewood by Carol Goodman

This looks awesome, but holy cow--I was not expecting it to be almost 500 pages!

All the Truth That's in Me by Julie Berry

Eerie cover, eerie synopsis. Looks good!

For review (cont)

Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young

YES. I will read anything by Cat Patrick. 

Bang by Lisa McMann

Likewise for Lisa McMann...have loved all of her books! 

Windchaser by Krissi Dallas

Windfall by Krissi Dallas

Watercrossing by Krissi Dallas

I came across this series in someone's recap post for TXLA and looked it up. Read the first few chapters and was immediately hooked!

Huge grateful bowing-down thanks to these publishers for sending these!! Macmillan, Flux Books, Random House/Delacorte, Penguin, Simon & Schuster, and Tate Publishing.

The Weekly Nutshell: 

{Tuesday} Waiting on Wednesday: Goodbye, Rebel Blue

{Thursday} Truth of Dare Giveaway! Tell me your best Truth or Dare stories!

{Friday} Becky's View: Absent by Katie Williams

{Saturday} Becky's View: Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins

Hope everyone had a great book week! I just have to say that I started Invisibility today by Levithan and Cremer---I was in love with both main characters within the first 20 pages.  Unless this goes terribly wrong somewhere in the end, I think I can safely predict this one is going to be a new favorite! :)

What are you reading this week?
