New Shelf Goodies and The Weekly Nutshell

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!

Just a little haul this time around, but I'm not complaining---SUPER excited about both books that came through my mailbox this week! 

For Review: 

Splintered by A.G. Howard

AHHH! Ultimate happy dance! This is one of my most highly anticipated reads of 2013! Ready to fall back into Wonderland!!

 Broken by A.E. Rought 

A modern retelling of Frankenstein! This one definitely sounds disturbing!

Huge thanks to Abrams Books and Strange Chemistry for these! 

The Weekly Nutshell:

 {Wednesday}Waiting on Wednesday: The Friday Society by Adrienne Kress

{Thursday} Beautiful Creatures Movie Trailer!!

{Friday} Review of Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst 

As you can see, I've been taking it a bit slow on the blogging lately---its been a mixture of traveling, not feeling too hot health-wise, and my older kids driving me a bit batty (yes, they've pulled the cliche move of throwing a party while we were away for the weekend..ugh).  I'll hopefully get back into the swing of posting a little more regularly soon.  Bear with me, dears! :)

Happy reading!
