STACKING THE SHELVES: April 2015

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am trying to keep my blog posts more organized and give them some sort of schedule. So from this month, my Stacking The Shelves posts will go live every last Saturday of given month.

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! Hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.

 


PURCHASED PRINTED COPY:



To stay true to my wow I made in Re-Read Worthy Novels post last month, I got myself a paperback copy of Angelfall by Susan Ee for my collection and already re-read it. Once again, I was reminded why I love this story so much and why it is my all-time favorite YA urban fantasy novel. I loved it even second time around.


DIGITAL REVIEW COPIES:


..

5 TO 1 by Holly Bodger (published by Knopf Books for Young Readers)

Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson (published by Greenwillow Books)

Racing the Sun by Karina Halle (published by Atria Books)


PURCHASED EBOOKS (READ):


..

FUEL THE FIRE by Krista & Becca Ritchie (4 STARS)

Krista & Becca Ritchie did Rose's and Connor's story a justice once again and proved that this series has the best dynamics between characters ever. It is a cliché thing to say, but I'm addicted to the gang from Addicted series. I'm so sad that next book will be the last one :(

THE VIRGIN ROMANCE NOVELIST by Meghan Quinn (DNF)

DNF at 56%.  I know that The Virgin Romance Novelist is loved by many but this kind of humor just didn't work for me at all. I found this novel (all 56% I read) ridiculous, unrealistic and boring so I decided to save myself a time and ended it early.

EVERYTHING THAT MAKES YOU by Moriah McStay (4 STARS)

This is great debut story about possible parallel lives and "what ifs". I read it based on recommendation from Lily @Lily's Book Blog (you can read her full review here) and I really enjoyed it!

Angelfall! I was able to get a copy off NG last month and wow, I really enjoyed it too! I can't say it was my favorite but I definitely understand the hype.

I was alright with Everything that Makes You, the concept is certainly interesting. The whole "parallel worlds" idea was executed welll!

Walk on Earth A Stranger has one of the most BEAUTIFUL covers ever. ^-^ I just love how the font is popping off the page too. I HOPE IT'S AS INCREDIBLE AS IT LOOKS.
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
