Stacking the Shelves (27)

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.

Because I HAD to know how Cynthia Hand's Unearthly series ended, I broke my book buying ban about two weeks ago to buy Boundless. Last week, I received an email from Pitch Dark saying that I'd won a signed copy; I'd forgotten about the giveaway because I always enter them with zero expectation of ever winning. As a huge fan of the series, I had a mini-freakout when the book arrived this week. As for the copy that I bought, my cousin and co-blogger Ally kindly agreed to give it a good home on her bookshelf.

Borrowed:

Seize the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff

Won:

Boundless by Cynthia Hand
Thanks to Pitch Dark Books!

  7. That's funny! I hardly ever win anything either so I never think anything will come out of entering giveaways. I got an email the other day for a $10 amazon card so I was pretty excited. Congrats on the signed copy :) It's great that you both can have one now. I haven't started the series yet, but I really want to. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven

  13. I can't wait until I finally buy a copy of Paper Valentine. It sounds really good! I read Brenna's other novel The Replacement last year and it was really interesting.
