Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's an opportunity for everyone to share the new books that we've acquired.
We had to return some library books this week and managed to be really good about not borrowing a giant pile of new ones until we read the books that we've bought but haven't read yet.
For Review:
Chase Tinker and the House of Magic by Malia Ann Haberman
Thanks to Faith McKay and Malia Haberman!

ReplyDeleteHahaha! I do love this series and hope to get all of the books read this year. This one was the only book in the series that my local library didn't have- had to request it from a different branch.
DeleteI still have an e-galley of Eve and Adam that I need to read. I was hearing mixed things about it, so kept setting it aside and reading other things instead.
ReplyDeleteI hope both of you enjoy your books!

I've seen mixed reviews for Eve and Adam, too, and am curious to see how Ally likes it.
DeleteEve & Adam sound really good. And I love the cover. :) Have fun reading the books you got.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cover, too. Ally made a beeline for the book when she spotted it, lol.
DeleteI'm on the fence about getting Eve & Adam. Our libraries are not good as yours (seriously). Happy reading!

We are very lucky to have such a great library system; they're really good about acquiring new books.
DeleteSherrilyn Kenyon is amazing. I love her books. All your books look like they will be awesome.

I love both the Dark-Hunter and Chronicles of Nick series. Nick's snarky comments really make me laugh.
DeleteEve and Adam looks like an awesome read! I hope you enjoy all you got :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS!
It's on my TBR list, too. I'll wait for Ally's thoughts on it before deciding whether to read it.
DeleteI'm reading Eve & Adam at the moment, it's interesting but I do keep getting distracted by other titles. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI hope the book works out for you. The more I hear about it, the more I'm leaning towards skipping it.
DeleteI've read Eve & Adam, and it was okay, although I had some issues with it. I love the cover though, it's so unique! :D
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Thanks for stopping by my STS! (:
It is a really cool cover. I hate it when a book has an amazing cover but the book itself isn't all that great.
DeleteEve and Adam looks good, and I have heard a lot about Kenyon.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading,

I started with Sherrilyn Kenyon's YA series and then checked out her adult books. I like how they tie in together.
DeleteI really want to read Eve and Adam & I need to read book 2 in the Dark Hunter series :) I've read book 15 & book 1. (in that order) lol Awesome haul.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for stopping by My Haul!

I think I read on Sherrilyn Kenyon's website that you don't actually have to read the Dark-Hunter books in order. I ended up reading book 2 first, and it didn't matter.
DeleteI have heard some mix things about Eve and Adam. Can't wait to see what you think of it.

It's an interesting premise. I hope that the world-building is strong because that's usually my problem with dystopians- a world that doesn't make sense.
DeleteOh I got Prophecy Girl a while ago too, but I haven't gotten around to it yet - can't wait to compare thoughts! I've heard great things about Eve & Adam, I'll be curious to how you'll like it :) And the cover for Chase Tinker & the House of Magic is just lovely ♥ Enjoy ALL your goodies ladies!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to comparing notes on Prophecy Girl! And I love the cover for Chase Tinker, too. :)
DeleteI've heard such mixed reviews about Adam & Eve. I hope you guys review it.
ReplyDeleteI approach most dystopian novels with caution because I've read too many that stretched believability beyond a reasonable limit. I hope this one works out for Ally.
DeleteI hear great things about Eve and Adam! Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteSugar & Snark
Ally was looking forward to reading it, so I hope she enjoys it.
DeleteEve and Adam sounds really good! i prefer the US cover to the UK one which is slightly boring! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteCheck Out My New Books - Letterbox Love!
I haven't seen the UK cover; I'm curious now and will have to check it out.
DeleteNice haul! I have Eve and Adam on my TBR pile! I hope to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books. Thanks for stopping by.
I didn't know the library had it until I saw it in Ally's stack. They must have added it recently because it looks brand new.
DeleteGreat haul! I enjoyed the audiobook of Eve and Adam, though I know a lot of people feel the middle really drags!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you enjoyed it! Opinions seem to be really mixed on this one.
DeleteI've bought Foretold a couple of months ago, and still haven't read it! Look forward to your thoughts when you get to it, Ally.
ReplyDeleteLee, Sherrilyn Kenyon is an author I mean to keep picking up and this sounds like a hot series :)
The Dark-Hunter series is hot, lol. I also like her YA Chronicles of Nick spin-off series, though when I read the first book, I did feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I'd read a few books from the adult series first.
DeleteI keep forgetting about Foretold, I only want it for Richelle Mead's story!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely the story I'd read first! I can never read enough stories about Rose and Dimitri.
DeleteStill haven't decided about Eve & Adam. Look forward to your thoughts. Enjoy your books, and thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't sounding like a book that I need to run out and read right away, but I'll keep it on my TBR list.
DeleteI can't wait for Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon thats coming out this year :D
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed that I'm caught up on the series by then.
DeleteEve and Adam I didn't enjoy so much, but it had a good solid start. I want to read the next novel in the series though so that's a good sign.
ReplyDeleteKiss of Night is pretty good, although that copy looks like it's seen better days! haha.
Great haul. New follower here! :)
Usually my library system reinforces the paperbacks to help them hold up better, but obviously, this one escaped that treatment, lol.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and following!
