New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {14}

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 & 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) Note: This is not a meme, but I'll be hopping around to any other book haul-sharing posts I come across!

Here's my haul for this week!

For Review:
Amarok by Angela J. Townsend
Wolves! Can't wait to read this--think daughter will love this one, too!
Embers & Echoes by Karsten Knight
Gah! So excited for book 2!!
The Rise of Nine/The Power of Six/I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore
I haven't read these, though I've heard they're good. Amy's son looooooves this series, I'm sure he's going to be all *grabby hands* over Rise of Nine! :)

Huge thanks to Spencer Hill Press, Simon & Schuster, & HarperTeen for these!

New on my Nook:
Purchased:
Anew by Chelsea Fine
Came across this one by sheer chance this week, looked good, lots of great reviews...read the sample and was completely hooked!

The Weekly Nutshell:
{Tuesday} Waiting on Wednesday:The Dead & Buried by Kim Harrington
{Wednesday} BOOKS FOR TRADE! (still lots left!)
{Saturday} Cover Story: 7 New Cover Reveals!

SO as you can see, I wasn't around much this week! We're on our last few days of summer vacation and getting in a few last hurrahs! The kids start back Monday morning so I should be posting full force again--I have three reviews and lots of reading to catch up on! If you haven't checked out my Books For Trade list, be sure to take a look! Still lots of goodies left!

Have a great week, everyone!
