(Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, which is all about sharing the books that you’ve acquired in the past week – ebooks or physical books, and books you’ve bought or borrowed or received an ARC of.)
This week I’ve bought a few new books:
Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke
I’ve heard so much about this book in recent weeks that I just knew I had to read it so I pre-ordered it. It arrived on my kindle this week and I hope to read it soon.
Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain by Barney Norris
I’ve read reviews of this book on some of my favourite blogs this week and so I knew it was a book I simply had to read. I bought a copy and it arrived a couple of days ago, I don’t think this will be on my TBR for very long as I’m very keen to read it.
Sunset City by Melissa Ginsburg
This is another book I’ve seen around a lot lately and like the sound of, hopefully it will be as good as it sounds.
Underwater by Marisa Reichardt
I’ve been wanting to read this book since it was first published but I could only see it in print format and I really wanted it on kindle so I’ve been waiting and hoping. This week I happened to notice it in an Amazon email so I rushed to buy it, I’m sure I won’t be long getting to this one.
After She Fell by Mary-Jane Riley
This book was only released this week but I’ve had it on pre-order for a while. It sounds like such an interesting premise and I hope to read it soon. It’s currently £1.99 on kindle in the UK if you want to grab a copy!
After the Lie by Kerry Fisher
I nearly downloaded this one from NetGalley to read before it was released but I knew I wouldn’t have time so I decided to pre-order it so I can read it in my own time. It arrived on my kindle this morning and I really want to read it very soon. It’s currently only 99p on Kindle!
Night blind by Ragnar Jonasson
This book was a kindle daily deal earlier this week so I snapped it up. I’ve heard such great things about this and I hope to read it soon as I feel I’m missing out by not having read it yet!
Breaking Dead by Corrie Jackson
This is a fairly new release too (I think), I spotted it in the recent Kindle sale for 99p so grabbed a copy.
The Dark Inside by Rod Reynolds
I have heard nothing but good things about this book since it was released but I put off buying it as I wasn’t sure it was for me. I saw it in the kindle sale this week and decided to take a punt, I’m sure I won’t regret it.
The Ice Twins by S. K. Tremayne
This is another book that I’ve wanted to read for ages but if I’m honest I was worried it would be too scary for me as I’m a complete and utter wimp, and this book sounds super creepy. Anyway, it was another one in the recent kindle sale so I thought I’d give it a go – I’m so glad I did as I start reading it a couple of days ago and am really enjoying it. It’s keeping me hooked!
Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson
This is one of those books that I’ve always meant to read but have never got around to. When I saw that Helen Simonson had a new book out recently it spurred me on to buy this one. I love the cover of the edition I bought, it’s gorgeous!
No Kiss Goodbye by Janelle Harris
I’d not heard of this book before I spotted it on my Amazon recommendations page and it sounded like a good read so I snapped it up. I’m hoping it will be as gripping as it sounds!
Books I got as part of my Kindle Unlimited Subscription:
The Accidental Life of Greg Millar by Aimee Alexander
I hadn’t realised this book was even out yet so I was surprised to see it on the Kindle Unlimited subscription, I didn’t hesitate to download it though and I can’t wait tor had it.
No Longer Safe by A. J. Waines
I’ve heard so much great stuff about this author’s books so when I saw this one in Kindle Unlimited I immediately downloaded it. I hope to read it soon.
The Insignificance of You by Tammy Robinson
This is another book that I’d seen in print form but was waiting to see if it came out in a kindle version, I was very happy to discover that it was not only out as an ebook but also in the Unlimited section. I don’t think this will be on my TBR for too long.
Judith Wants to Be Your Friend by Annie Weir
I downloaded this one purely based on the title, it sounds kind of creepy to me and I’m very intrigued to read this book!
Books I received for review:
The Wacky Man by Lyn G. Farrell (Net Galley)
I was contacted by the author of this book asking if I’d like to review the book as part of the blog tour soon. I jumped at the chance as I’d recently seen a couple of great reviews of this book and had already added it to my wishlist. I’ll definitely be reading this book in the next week as I’m on the blog tour on 7th May.
Nina is Not OK by Shappi Khorsandi (LoveReading panel)
I was thrilled to be selected to receive a copy of this book to review as it’s one I’ve been so keen to read. My review needs to be written before the end of May so I’ll be reading it in the next couple of weeks.
I was also very lucky to win a book this week, and it’s a signed copy!
The Two of Us by Andy Jones
This is a book that I’ve been really wanting to read so I was super happy to win a signed copy this week, I can’t wait to read it!
