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, Stacking the Shelves, Book Hauls, or whatever other book-loot sharing posts I come across!
This week's bookish goodness:
For review:Stunning by Sara Shephard
I don't read this series, so I'll be featuring this one with a giveaway soon!
Darkness Before Dawn by J.A. London
Excited read this--haven't delved into the world of vamps for awhile, so we'll see how it goes!

I've heard book one of this was good---will have to track down a copy so I can start this series!

{Friday} Guest Review: Until I Die by Amy Plum
With all the end-of-school-year distractions, I'm afraid my blog was a little neglected this week! And I feel like I have been reading sooooo slow. :( Still, I'm enjoying what I read, so I guess that's what counts. Check back in tomorrow---I'll be featuring the paperback release of Tiger's Curse with a giveaway and a very special Sweetness on Sunday featuring Ren's cookie recipe from Colleen Houck!

ReplyDeleteI'm the same with school, reading slow and neglecting the blog! :( I felt so guilty in the past two weeks but well.. school comes first, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI've only read one of Sara Shepard's book which is not part of this series but that was pretty good!
My haul for this week
I really need to pre-order a copy of DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN soon, because I'm dying to read it even though I know that it'll take a while until I'll actually get to it thanks to my review pile. :( Also definitely want to read GILT which sounds awesome. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time seeing Anathema, and I think the cover is really interesting! I need to check it out soon! Gilt and Darkness Before Dawn seem amazing! I'll be looking forward to the recap of Gilt event. :) Happy reading, Becky! :)
