New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {38}

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)


Here's what I aquired this week!
 For review:
Spellcaster by Claudia Gray-finished copy (my review)
Linked by Imogen Howsen  
Requiem by Lauren Oliver-finished copy
Delirium Stories: Hana, Annabel, & Raven by Laren Oliver 

Super excited about Linked and to have a lovely finished copy of Requiem! I was pretty suprised to see Delirium Stories in print...for some reason I thought those stories were going to be ebook only.  Yay! :D

Many thanks to Simon  & Schuster and HarperTeen for these!

 The Weekly Nutshell:
{Friday} Becky's View: Strands of Bronze and Gold by Jane Nickerson
So I've decided to try out Intense Debate with CommentLuv and see how I like it on my own site. I love how it works on other's sites with being able to see the commenter's last post, but I'm not sure I've ever seen it work with blogger.  So here goes nothing!! Let me know what you think!
Have a great book-filled week, everyone! :D 

*Update* ok so apparently Intense Debate doesn't like me. LOL It was there one second and now it's not.  It seems to have lost some comments and for that I apologize! :( I reverted back to the blogger comment format. All better now!

    How lucky. I am so jealous. I love the Delirium series and Requim sounds really good. Though I still need to read Pandemonium. Happy Reading.

    That is nice that they are publishing the e-books in print for the Delirium series. I still haven't read Requiem. Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer sounds kind of interesting.

    I really should read Requiem. I liked Delirium but didn't continue on with the series. Finishing series should be a reading goal of mine. I NEED closure. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!

    Linked is at the top of my TBR - I can't wait to see what you think of it as well as Spellcaster. I thought the delirium stories were only going to be ebook only as well, I am glad they aren't. I wish more series would publish it in a book... it's so expensive for a 40 page book. Atleast the print copy makes it worth it! I hope you enjoy all your books!!!
