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.
All three of us were beyond excited to finally get our hands on Clockwork Princess this week!
We also decided to make a spur of the moment trip to the library. For the first time since we began going to our local library regularly about a year ago, we walked there. What is usually a 3 minute drive took about half an hour on foot walking the bike/hiking trail that passes right by the library. Our little adventure was a lot of fun, plus we got exercise, saved some gas, and weren't tempted to borrow more books than we wanted to carry home.

I need to get the Les Miserables DVD!
ReplyDeleteWe freaked out when we went to buy it yesterday because we couldn't find it at first. Luckily, though, the store had it!
DeleteI am really, really, really excited for The City's Son, and it's not even available here yet. (Ugh.) Hope it's good! -crosses fingers-
ReplyDeleteStacking the Shelves #19
I have it on my TBR list, too. I hope it becomes available where you are soon!
DeleteI really need to jump on the Clockwork bandwagon. Just haven't had time yet! I really hope you all enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI read a couple of new middle grades this week - Wonder by R.J. Palacio (it was great), and Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine (also great).
Still to read: Splintered, Crewel, and Whitey
I've heard fantastic things about Wonder- I really need to read it when I have the chance.
DeleteYAY You got your Clockwork Princess!! That's really what this post is all about right? I mean Requiem is great too :D I know you love The Infernal Devices...I hope to be reading them soon since I love Mortal Instruments so much. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.
ReplyDeleteTwo of us have finished reading Clockwork Princess and are nowhere near recovering. It's going to be a while, lol.
DeleteWhoa at the three copies of Clockwork Princess! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd oh Requiem; I personally recommend you guys to not get your hopes up for that book. :x
Thanks for stopping by my STS earlier! (:
Requiem was very disappointing, and now I completely understand the so-so reviews I'd seen of it.
DeleteCloskwork Princess is extremely popular today. I really think I should start that series soon.

Yes, you must read The Infernal Devices! I think it is my favorite series of all times.
Deleteawesome books you guys! and les mis!!! i loved that one :D
ReplyDeleteWe still haven't had the chance to watch the Les Mis DVD yet. It's killing me!
DeleteOoh, Libba Bray! I loved the Gemma Doyle books. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
~Merin @ Read and Reviewed~
I want to read The Diviners by Libba Bray!
DeleteI STILL need to read Clockwork Prince! And The City Son looks awesome :) Thanks for stopping by My Haul!
ReplyDeleteJanina
Yes, read Clockwork Prince! I saw City Son lounging around on the library shelf, so I grabbed it. I'm really excited to read it!
DeleteI hope you love Sanctum! I absolutely adored that book. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did! The romance is super swoony.
ReplyDeleteMy Stacking the Shelves
Lee was raving about Sanctum. I suppose I'll have to read it now!
DeleteI love that you all took a walk to the library, one of my branches is close enough to walk to, as well :)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul, ladies! Enjoy your reads :)
The walk was good exercise and it kept our borrowing in check. We didn't want to have to tug twenty pounds of books home!
DeleteMan. Your library did well by you this week. I still have to read my copy of Sanctum.
ReplyDeleteGrace
We're very lucky with our library; it stocks it's shelves often!
DeleteClockwork Princess, Clockwork Princess, Clockwork Princess!! :D Happy reading Ladies!
ReplyDeleteYes! Clockwork Princess; it was my motivation to study for midterms!
DeleteLook at those pretty Clockwork Princesses. I'm so excited to read it, but I am also terrified. I think Cassandra Clare is going to take my emotions and put them through the ringer! Anyway, enjoy your goodies. Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, my emotions were a wreck when I started reading. I think I need to have Clockwork therapy.
DeleteCant wait to also get my hands on Clockwork Princess

Lee stalked the mailbox until our copies arrived! Thanks for following! :)
DeleteWhat an awesome idea to walk, it would certainly keep you from picking up EVERYTHING haha. I really enjoyed Requiem... there was a lot of mixed reviews but I enjoyed it. I hope you all enjoy your books :) Thanks for stopping by my StS!
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Lose Time Reading
I think we're going to make walking to the library a new habit!
DeleteHow fun! I went to the library as well! And it was my first visit there since I got back from interning abroad. :) I really loved it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun reading the books you got.
J'adore Happy Endings
The library is always a nice place to visit!
DeleteYAY! Congrats to all 3 of you for Clockwork Princess! :D And your walk to the library sounds wonderful!! Oh and I *still* haven't seen Les Mis yet *sigh* but now that it's out on dvd/blu-ray I should get a chance to soon. Enjoy all your goodies ladies ♥
ReplyDeleteI hope to walk there again this week, especially since the weather is supposed to be nice and cool. We finally got to watch Les Mis yesterday, and it was just as amazing as it was the first time we saw it.
