New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {86}

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)

The lovely haul this week: 
For review: 
Read this one last year, so I'll be giving this away close to the release of the next book in July!
Need to get cracking on this series, it looks really good!
YES, excited about this one!
One of my fave covers of the year! Plus, time travel, steampunk, clockwork dragons???
Girl who is half-dragon must reclaim her throne. This sounds awesome. 
Spies, pre-WWII, mistaken identities---sounds fun!


 
 I also won this awesome Violet Hour prize back with a copy of the book, a Vision Crest mug (which has to do with the story), hair chalk, a Sex Pistols tee, and a $25 BN gift card! 

Many thanks to HMH books, Flux, and Simon & Schuster for all this fun stuff!!

The Weekly Nutshell: 
{Monday} Cover Story

This week I'm reading Don't You Forget About Me and it is so bizarre from the get-go! Enjoying it now that I've wrapped my head around what's going on! LOL  I'm liking Kate Karyus Quinn's writing style, it reminds me a little of Alice Hoffman, whose books I love. Also planning to start Flights and Chimes this week---guys, I am SO excited to dive into this one. It looks so fun.
Hope everyone had a great week!
