New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {19}

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!


My haul for the week:
Bought:

For Review:

For review (cont.):

For Feature/Giveaway:
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
Emma by Jane Austen
I'll be featuring the gorgeous Classic Lines series from Sterling Publishing and giving one of these away, so keep an eye out for that! 

Many thanks to Random House and Sterling Publishing!

The Weekly Nutshell:
{Friday} Bloggiesta!

Have a great week, everyone! :D

    I have an ARC of Velveteen, too! And I so can't wait to get my hands on Alice in Zombieland! :D
    Plus those two classic books look awesome!

    I hope you're doing well,

    Nice collection. I have The Opposite of Hallelujah from NetGalley for review but haven't gotten to it on the stack yet. My new book posts are at Inside of a Dog and at Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Please stop by if you get a chance and happy reading.

    Nice haul! I'm very curious about Alice. I could not get into Velveteen, but I think I'm in the minority. Hope you enjoy all the books!

    They may not be the most exciting books, but I have been enjoying the FitzOsbornes' story. I am looking forward to FitzOsbornes at War, so I hope that it's good.
    And those new classic editions are gorgeous!
