New Shelf Goodies & The Weekly Nutshell {102}

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)

This week, one lovely finished copy and one book from a trade:

 Made for You by Melissa Marr

Servants of the Storm by Delilah Dawson 

The Weekly Nutshell: 
{Monday} What's New YA September Releases & Giveaway
{Tuesday}  Waiting on Wednesday: Burning Kingdoms
{Wednesday} Six Feet Over It blog tour giveaway
{Friday} Review : Stega by Karen Monahan Fernandes 

This week I finished The Fall and though my review won't be out until October 1st when the blog tour rolls through, I will say that I really enjoyed this dark, eerie, completely bizarre book. I also listened to the inspiration story, Poe's Fall of the House of Usher and was intrigued by the close parallels of the two stories.  Currently, I'm reading Gates of Thread and Stone, which after seeing some "meh" reviews I went into with much more subdued expectations. So far I'm enjoying it---I'm about 160 pages in and the story is at a pretty big turning point so we'll see where it goes from here! 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :D
