Stacking the Shelves (28)

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.

The previous weekend, Lee and I were lucky enough to find ourselves in a Barnes & Noble. We haven't been to a legit bookstore in several years, relying on Amazon and the local library for our book addiction instead. We were obviously mesmerized as soon as we walked in. My grandmother, seeing me walk around with Les Misérables clutched to my chest, graciously offered to buy it for me. I accepted the offer and now have over 800 pages of Enjolras to indulge myself in; lucky me!

Ally's Books:

Borrowed:

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Gifted:

Les Misérables by Victor Hugo


Lee's Books:

Bought:

The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead

Won:

Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
Thanks to Fierce Reads/Macmillan!

    1. I've wanted to read Throne of Glass for the longest time; I even considered using my meager allowance on purchasing it. Luckily, Lee, with her hawk-like vision, saw it in the library and kindly pointed it out for me.

  3. Richelle Mead is awesome. I love all her books. Throne of Glass is awesome. You are going to want to buy your own copy after reading that book.

    1. I actually did consider buying Throne of Glass, but I thought I would try it out first and borrow it from the library. I'm probably going to cave and buy it anyways. Thanks for stopping by!

    1. It is a big book; I had fun carrying it about the store. I'm probably going to take forever reading it, but I'm excited all the same. Thanks for stopping by! :)

  8. I have Les Miserables as a two book set and even they are huge. But, your hardback is much nicer!

    And yay The Indigo Spell!

    1. I didn't even know that Les Miserables came as a two book set. It must make it easier to read because of the size. I'm happy with my copy though! Thanks for stopping by! :)

    1. I only read the abridged version of Les Miz for school, and looking at Ally's copy, I never realized how much was cut out! And Bloodlines is one of my favorite series; the fourth book is also supposed to release later this year, and I couldn't be happier!
