New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {76}

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 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)

Got a few goodies this week!

Bought: 

Cress by Marissa Meyer

Went to Marissa's signing and it was amazing! She is so fun to hear speak and meet in person!

For Review:

The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson

So incredibly excited for this one!!

The Glass Casket by McCormick Templeman

Fates by Lanie Boss

Road Rash by Mark Huntley Parsons

Love Me by Rachel Shukert

Pieces of Me by Amber Kizer

These all came in a lovely box of Random House goodness! A couple of these are doubles for me, so I'll be passing them on, but I'm happy to have a finished copy of The Glass Casket and Pieces of Me looks really good---hadn't heard much about it before this!

Here's the fun swag they gave out at Marissa Meyer's signing. I love my "Thorne is my Captain" pin!! And the purple comb to go with the Rapunzel theme is perfect! 

 I'll be talking more about the event later this week, and giving away two signed ARCs of Cress, so watch out for that!

It's finally raining here (thanks for sending it, Juju! LOL), and today is finally a day I get to enjoy it, no work, nowhere to go, just reading on the couch right next to my big window so I can look out at the rain. Love that.  This call for hot chocolate. 
Happy reading, all!
