Stacking the Shelves (31)

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.

Ally's Books:

Borrowed:

The Wicked and the Just by J. Anderson Coats
The City's Son by Tom Pollock

Gifted:

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare

    1. We freaked out when we went to buy it yesterday because we couldn't find it at first. Luckily, though, the store had it!

  2. I 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-

  3. I really need to jump on the Clockwork bandwagon. Just haven't had time yet! I really hope you all enjoy it!

    I 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

  10. I 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.

  11. I love that you all took a walk to the library, one of my branches is close enough to walk to, as well :)

    Great haul, ladies! Enjoy your reads :)

    1. 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!

  12. Man. Your library did well by you this week. I still have to read my copy of Sanctum.

  14. Look 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 :)

    1. I 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.
