New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {77}

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)

Very excited for every single book that came through my mailbox this week!  Three sequels and some of my fave authors:
 For review: 
Can't wait for more of my favorite "cookie-baking sidekick"!
Love this author--can't wait to see her take on alien abduction! 
Book 1 was brilliant and creepy. This one has a lot to live up to!
Art of Wishing had a great ending, so I can't wait to see what happens next.
I've never been disappointed with this author. This is her first non-supernatural story, but it still looks pretty dark and creepy!

Huge thanks to Disney, HarperTeen (via SF Book Review), and Penguin for these!

The Weekly Nutshell: 
{Tuesday} Review: A Breath of Frost by Alyxandra Harvey
{Wednesday} Waiting on Wednesday: The Dark World
{Thursday} Cover reveal: Feral by Holly Schindler

 Happy reading, everyone!

    Burn Bright was fun. The Taking is also on my Review Stack. The rest are new to me. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!

    I'm really excited for The Taking, too. I didn't read her other series, but I love her Body Finder series. I love the cover for Between the Spark and the Burn. The first book's cover was so lovely, too. Great haul this week! Happy reading!
