New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {49}

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)

I'm back, guys!  I hope you all didn't forget about me! Here are most of the books that I got in the past few weeks, I know there were a few more, but for the life of me in all the chaos, I can't seem to remember which ones they were.  

For review:

Reboot by Amy Tintera
I wasn't initially drawn to this one, but after taking a look at it and reading a few pages it's caught my attention! Looks good!

Dust Girl by Sarah Zettel

Golden Girl by Sarah Zettel
I am likely starting this series next. Read first chapter of Dust girl and I'm hooked.  A fairy story set in the dust bowl...and then in glamorous 20s hollywood?? I'm IN.  

Belle Epoque by Elizabeth Ross
Been looking forward to this one, plus the finished copy is super gorgeous with all the gold foil. 

 For review:

Viral Nation by Shaunta Grimes

I'd never heard of this until it popped up in my mailbox! It looks pretty gritty.

Uncrashable Dakota by Andy Marino

This one drew me to it's steampunkiness. :)

Altered by Gennifer Albin

Book one was just ok for me..but I think now that the story's been set up, it's going to take an interesting turn..especially with the way book one ended.  

How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True by Sarah Strohmeyer

THis looks pretty cute. Devil Wears Prada set in Disneyworld. :)

Faking it by Cora Carmack 

I somehow ended up on several lists for unsolicited NA books, but they don't really strike my interest. I'm going to be passing this one to someone who loves them, hopefully!  

The Weekly Nutshell:

Well, since it's my first day back from hiatus, nothing went down on this blog this week.  But the events I had while I was away all went really well and, guys, thank you so much for all the sweet compliments on my daughter's pictures!  I love them and know she had such fun taking them! 

Gimme some...Bloglovin'

Just a quick note: I know google reader is suppose to go down sometime VERY SOON.

Thanks, everyone!
