New Shelf Goodies & Birthday Giveaway!! {152}

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)

Here's what lovely things graced my mailbox this week! :)

For review:

Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell

So excited for this Peter Pan inspired retelling! Blog tour stopping here on the 28th!

*Sniff* guys, the Starbound trilogy is over for me. So sad. But the last book was so good. Now I'm nearly done with Burn and the blog tour will be rolling through here on Monday, so check back for that! Next up for me is Unhooked!! So excited for that one!
So a few exciting things happening this week! On Monday, I get to meet two amazing authors in San Francisco---Susan Dennard and Alexandra Bracken!! I am incredibly excited, most of all to get my entire Something Strange and Deadly series signed, as it's one of my very favorite series!
Also this week is my BIRTHDAY! :D  We always have an extended celebration since my hubby's birthday is the day before mine. Plus it usually coincides with MLK day, so it's a 3-day celebration! :D

So I'm spinning the birthday celebration around and it's going to be one of YOU who gets the gifties!!
Enter below to win these beauties!

(I have to keep this one US only, guys. Sorry! If I could teleport them to my international friends, I would!)
