New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {8}

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!

Since I was at ALA this past weekend, I didn't do a NSG post last week, so this is two weeks worth of books!

For review:
From Spencer Hill Press:

Cursed by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Deity by Jennifer L. Armentrout (!!!)

From Macmillan:
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente
Sapphire Blue by Kristin Gier

From Random House:

From William Morrow:
Size 12 and Ready to Rock by Meg Cabot

A huge thanks to all the publishers above for sending me these! Very excited for many of these! The Meg Cabot book is an adult title that came unsolicited. I may try it out or I may put this one up for trade---any major Meg fans out there?

{6/29} My ALA Experience!

We have one more huge event this month and then things should slow down again...4th of July is big deal in this house! I live in a small town but we have a pretty impressive Fireworks show, plus street fireworks are legal here---so of course we have everyone over for a party! :D After this week, we have no plans (ahhhh, finally!) until the end of August when we're going to see Mumford & Sons in Monterey!! If you haven't heard of them, look them up! They are my absolute favorite band!

Have a great week, everyone! Keep an eye out for random ALA giveaways happening soon! :D
