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.
Happy New Year! We kicked off 2013 with—what else?—a trip to the library. We kept the borrowing to a minimum because we've all realized that we have books at home that we really need to start reading. Ally also bought some new books with the Amazon gift card she received last month.
For Review:
Thanks to Liesel Hill!

I also need to read Under the Never Sky :) And look at that Lux series! Shiver was pretty good. I have yet to read the rest of the series though. Awesome haul to all of you!

My Haul!
Under the Never Sky is a great book. I've been dying to own a copy of my own, and when I saw it on Amazon at a bargain price, I grabbed it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a terrific collection of books. I love the Lux series. Haven't read Shiver yet even though it's been on my TBR list for ages. I need more hours in the day.
ReplyDeleteMy STS for this week can be viewed @ Marilyn's Mystery Blog
I think we all need more hours in the day for reading! I want to read Shiver, too; I loved Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOoo, the Lux series is tons of fun. And I love the covers.
ReplyDeleteI need to read Dash and Lily. Now is a perfect time for it, too. I need more reading time, though :)
Happy reading!
I own Obsidian and have vowed to read it, along with all of the other books that I bought but never got to last year, before I do any more big library hauls. I sort of twisted Melissa's arm to read Dash and Lily because I loved it so much. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteUNDER THE NEVER SKYY!! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Through the Ever Night. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLots of nice books you have! I still haven't gotten my copy of Opal. :> The Lux series is a pretty okay read and so was Shiver. Hope you enjoy them! Also, new followers via GFC! Yay! Thanks for dropping by our blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that I still haven't started the Lux series; it's one of my priority reads for 2013.
DeleteThanks for the GFC follow. :)
Whoa, you guys got so many good books this week! Shiver is pretty good and I enjoyed Obsidian, but not Onyx. I have Opal too, and have yet to read it. I also need to read Under the Never Sky and Dash and Lily's Book of Dares.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading & thanks for stopping by my STS! (:
I've heard that The Wolves of Mercy Falls is a really good series. Melissa liked Shiver, so I'm curious to see what Ally thinks of it. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteGreat haul! I am reading Under the Never Sky..I really enjoyed Shiver and I am going to read Persistence of Vision as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying Under the Never Sky! I'm so excited that the sequel is almost here. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteUnder The Never Sky was an awesome book. I really enjoyed the book. Come visit me as well.
ReplyDeleteGrace
I loved it, too. It's one of my favorite dystopians. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSo many good books!! I love the Lux series so much and I hope you like them as much as I do. I didn't really like Unspoken for some reason, but I hope you like it :)

I'm really enjoying Unspoken, but I'm only about 30 pages in. I hope that the rest of the book is as good as what I've read so far. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYey, I'm reading Persistence of Vision too, looking forward to seeing what you think :D Great books this week, I love Under the Never Sky! Thanks for stopping by my blog
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to hear what you think of Persistence of Vision, too. :) When I got my copy of Under the Never Sky, I flipped through it looking for my favorite Roar quotes. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteGreat haul! Obsidian's fun, Lily and Dash is sweet and Under the Never Sky surprised me...I thought it was good after the first chapter and then it got beyond just good :) The other titles all sound good too, enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to get a grasp of the world of UTNS, but then the book just kept getting better and better as I read. I especially loved Perry's chapters. :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteAmazing Haul! Obsidian,Onyx and Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout.I have heard great reviews about them. I hope you enjoy really all your books :)
ReplyDeleteGabby~
If Obsidian is as awesome as everyone says it is, I think I'll be asking Ally to borrow the rest of the series, lol. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've read Shiver and really enjoyed it and I hope to get around to Unspoken and Under the Never Sky, they both sound fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI've had great success with one Maggie Stiefvater book (The Raven Boys) and not so much with another (The Scorpio Races), so I'm really curious to see how it goes with Shiver when I get to it one day. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI just read Persistence of Vision last week and I seriously loved it! The characters were amazing and the whole world was just really intriguing.
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Glad to hear that you loved Persistence of Vision! It's going to be one of my first dystopian reads of the new year. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI really want to read Unspoken and Brightly Woven. Great books this week, ladies!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Merin @ Read and Reviewed
I'm loving Unspoken so far! It's the type of book that I wish I had the time to read all in one sitting. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI found Shiver to be an emotional read. I borrowed Rossi from the libray too hopefully I'll get it this week. Congrats on that win Ally!
ReplyDeleteMelissa's read Shiver and said that the series is really sad. I'm going to try to get to it later on in the year.
DeleteYAAAY! Almost done Persistence of Vision, and am LOVING it-hope you guys enjoy it too! You all got some really great books. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who can't help borrowing some library books on the side, while my TBR pile sits a MILE high *sigh* lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Lee!

We're trying to be good about borrowing from the library because we keep neglecting our books at home. But a lot of times we can't help ourselves, lol, especially when we live so close to the library.
DeleteOooh so many goodies! I loved seeing all the JLA books - I'm so dying to get into her Lux series too :D I'll be curious to reading your thoughts about Shiver. Under the Never Sky too: I've heard great things about that one!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading ladies ♥
Originally I borrowed Under the Never Sky from the library and have wanted to own a copy ever since. Now I've got to get my hands on the sequel, which was just released this week.
