New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {168}

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)


Got some lovely goodies this week!!
For review:
Life in a Fishbowl by Len Vlahos
A cool looking contemp about a reality TV show. Thanks, Bloomsbury!
The Queen of Blood by Sarah Beth Durst
Favorite author alert!! I have adored everything I've read by Sarah, and she was so kind to send me a signed copy of her newest!! ♥♥♥

Won:
Prisoner of Ice and Snow by Ruth Lauren
So excited for this MG fantasy debut, out April 2017!! The author held a giveaway for her 40th bday and I was lucky enough to win it!! :D
Yesternight by Cat Winters
Another Fave author alert!! Seriously guys, if you have read Cat Winters books, you MUST. Both her YA and adult titles are amazing.  I won this on Goodreads, so yay!! 



The Weekly Nutshell:

Blog Tour-Learning to Swear in America: Excerpt & Giveaway!

So just quickly, because it's so late and my eyes are closing (seriously I need to get better about scheduling posts and blogging time lol).  This week I finished up reading Love Charms and Other Catastrophes. I really enjoyed it, and I'll be reviewing it this week.  I started Siren's Song by the lovely Mary Weber. I love this series and I'm hoping to savor this last installment so I'll be picking it up and reading it in between a few other deadline books! Also this week I'll be reading Nevernight---so excited to start it but also nervous because I've been hearing some mixed things. I really hope I love it. It sounds so amazing. And yes, I do know it's a bit racey and not really YA, so I won't be shocked LOL. 

Have a great week full of great books, everyone!! :D
