Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Are you excited for Halloween? Are you dressing up? I posted a preview of my costume on my Instagram yesterday. It's kind of book related because it's inspired by the series I just reread in preparation of a November release. Anyway, the reason for this post. I don't usually do these book haul posts because I am on a book buying ban and don't get a lot of review books to warrant doing it every week. But I actually got a ton of books this month with author signings, preorders, and books for review so I though I would share the books that I acquired this month.

For Review
10.) Black Rabbit Hall by Eve Chase - (Add to Goodreads)
Family secrets, forbidden love, and a gothic manor house. This sounds like a total me book. Plus I really like the cover, it's so interesting.
11.) In Real Life by Jessica Love - (Add to Goodreads)
Contemp is hit or miss for me but I like the sounds of this one. The good girl being impulsive is stuff I usually like.
12.) The Passenger by Lisa Lutz - (Add to Goodreads)
I'm always looking for a good thriller and I like the sounds of this one. The characters sound pretty dark which I like a lot.
13.) The Abyss Surrounds Us by Emily Skrutskie - (Add to Goodreads)
Space pirates. That's really all I need to know. No but honestly this sounds like a pretty unique Sci-Fi debut.
So those are all the books I got this month. Way more than I normally get. A lot of my pre-orders came in and with book signings I bought more books than usual. What books did you get this month? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY READING!
YOU GOT THE ILLUSTRATED HARRY POTTER. So much jealousy, but I am so excited for you!!! (Also, that is one heck of a secret sister!) A Monster Calls is an amazing read, so I hope you enjoy it!

Amazing book haul!! I've been dying to get The Illustrated Harry Potter, but that thing is expensive!! Soon, for sure. Black Rabbit Hall looks awesome too! I hadn't heard of it before now! Definitely going on the TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Weekly Recap!
The illustrated Harry Potter is so amazing! I am loving the pictures while reading it with my 5.5 year old. My husband and I have been alternating with bedtime, and it's so sad when I miss a chapter because I want to see all of the illustrations. I hope they do some of the other books.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween for yesterday! You've got a lot of great books in your haul this week! :) Your Secret Sister really is AMAZING, that is one beautiful book to receive. I want to get myself a copy but I am a little torn. I loved the idea of an illustrated edition like that but, as bad as it sounds, I haven't been the biggest fan of any of the illustrations I have seen so far. But I still want it because 1. It's Harry Potter and 2. It's beautiful. And it's Harry Potter, haha! I really hope you enjoy all of your books.
