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 posts) 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) Note: This is not a meme, but I'll be hopping around to IMMs, Stack the Shelves, Book Hauls, or whatever other book-loot sharing posts I come across!
Here's my loot for this week! It's a relatively small haul, which is kind of a relief after the past few weeks! Need some time to catch up on reading!
For Review:
The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze
Revived by Cat Patrick
Thanks to Little, Brown for these! Very excited to read both!

Timepiece by Myra McEntire
I tried and I tried to resist this when I saw it pop up on Netgalley. I failed. The first book was just too good. I had to have this. :)
The Weekly Nutshell:
Monday: Guest Review: Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock
Tuesday: What's New: May YA Releases & Giveaway!
Wednesday: Waiting on Wednesday: Splintered by A.G. Howard
Have a great week, everyone!

It was definitely a quiet week here in Stories & Sweeties, and I apologize for that! It was a crazy, hectic week of prom preparation ( I had two of my kids going this year!), work, and a modem that decided to die on me---so I was without internet for most of the week. Even after we replaced it, my internet seems to be stuttering a bit. :( The week ended with a beautiful service for my grandma. Thank you to everyone for the words of comfort for me and my family last week. *hugs* In the week ahead I'll be catching up on lots of reading and reviewing!
Have a great week, everyone!
I see that your shelves are getting crowded! :) Timepiece is definitely hard to resist! I haven't read Hourglass yet (still waiting for the paperback) but once I get my hands on that and Timepiece is still on netGalley I'll get it too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

It may be a rather small haul, but they are amazing books! I hope you'll enjoy reading your books, Becky! Revived sounds amazing, and the cover is really pretty! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your Grandma... stay strong! *hugs*
Thanks for stopping by on my blog, Becky! <3
Aaargh, I'm so angry at myself for not having pre-ordered a copy of REVIVED, so I'm a bit jealous of everyone who got one this week. :D Can't wait to hear what you think of THE LAST PRINCESS, because I'm not really sure whether I want to read it. And YAY! for TIMEPIECE - hope to be able to devour it soon as well!

I got TIMEPIECE two weeks ago .. still haven't gotten to it yet, but I agree with you that the first one was too good to not get this one!

ReplyDeleteI got The Last Princess too! I'm digging the whole dystopian meets foreign land vibe.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Nice haul! NetGalley is just too tempting for me, so am trying to stay away...but Timepiece looks so good! Will wait until I read Hourglass though, as I don't like reading books out of order. So glad you got your internet connection back up and running, even if it is stuttering a little. And glad to hear the service for your grandmother went well. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI also got Timepiece and finished it!! <3 that book.
ReplyDeleteOh man REVIVED! I've been wanting to read that for awhile now. You're quite lucky you got a copy! I hope you enjoy all your books. :D
