Stacking the Shelves (6)

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's an opportunity for everyone to share the books which we've added to our shelves.

We went to the library this week to pick up Ally's books for her summer reading assignments (Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed and a rather large tome on U.S. History). Here's Ally's drawing of herself leaving the library and realizing that she's probably not going to have much time to read her usual book genres this summer:


Lee's Books:

Borrowed:
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Where She Went by Gayle Forman
Black Heart by Holly Black

Bought:
Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

Did you add any books to your shelves this week? Leave your link and we'll check them out!
