New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {22}

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 what I got this week:
 For Review:
Ask the Passengers by A.S. King
Very excited for this one! King always brings something so unique to all her work. 
 
Bitter Blood by Rachel Caine   
I never did get to start this series and this is #13, so be on the lookout for a giveaway of this one soon! 

Thanks so much to Little Brown and NAL/Penguin  for both of these!

The Weekly Nutshell:
{Sunday} Teen Read Week Giveaway!
{Monday} Review: Adaptation by Malinda Lo
{Tuesday} Waiting on Wednesday: Reaping Me Softly by Kate Evangelista
{Wednesday} Review: Beyond by Graham McNamee
{Thursday} Old Books, New Looks
{Friday} Cover Story: 4 Gorgeous New Covers!

 Hope everyone is having a great week! Happy reading! :D

    Oooo I just read Ask The Passengers on my kindle Thursday and Friday. It was an amazing, introspective, multilayered read. I hope you end up falling head over heels for it.

    Happy reading!

    Do give the Morganville series a shot! The series really wraps up a book 6 - all the rest of the books are kinda... filler after that. So, highly recommend reading it at least up to there! (And 6 is a lot more manageable than 13!)

      You're not the first person to tell me that! LOL I may try to read the first few of this series and see what I think, but for now, I'll let someone who is already caught up enjoy this copy!

    I've only read the first one in the Morganville series as well - I'm glad I'm not the only one slacking! Nice of you to give it away since it's so far into the series too.
