Stacking The Shelves #20
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!
Participating in Stacking The Shelves has helped me to keep better track of books I’m adding to my huge TBR pile every week, and I think I have gotten a little better at not adding too many books every single week. Participating in this blog-hop has also introduced me to more new blogs, and some weeks, I add more books to my ‘might-read-one-day’ shelf than I should, but before I actually have the books on my kindle, nothing has been decided yet.
Netgalley ARCs:
Perfect Lies (Mind Games #2) – Kiersten White
Summary: First they made me kill.
Then leave behind the one person I love.
Now I’m getting even.
Annie and Fia have battled to survive within the sinister Keane Foundation for years, using their powers to defend each other. Now the sisters have allies; friends who might help them escape.
But Annie’s visions of the future are never certain and Fia’s flawless instincts can’t always tell her who to trust. With only each other truly to rely on, their extraordinary gifts may not be enough to save them…
Kindle Purchases:
BOMB: A Day in the Life of Spencer Shrike (Rook and Ronin Spinoff) – J.A. Huss
Summary: Spencer Shrike is a plotter. Known for his ingenious, albeit illegal, plans that keeps the Team running efficiently and out of jail, he carries this same love of order into his personal life. He’s kept his long-time main squeeze on the sidelines for years as he builds the Shrike Bikes empire.
Veronica Vaughn is an explosion ready to happen. Ronnie lives in the here and now. She lives for today. She knows what she wants, and she wants it now. And right now Ron the Bomb Vaughn wants Spencer shrike to leave her the hell alone. She’s done playing his game. She’s done waiting around. She’s moving forward with her own plots, plans, and dreams and she’s moving forward tonight. Ron the Bomb is finally—finally—gonna get some satisfaction.
I’ve been really, really good this week, haven’t I? Only adding two books to my TBR is actually almost amazing. I can’t remember the last time I got so few books in a week. But it’s truly a good thing, since I have far to many already playing hide-and-seek on my kindle as it is! And I also started classes again this week, I’ll have a lot of fun linguistics books and articles to read, so I really needed to slow down on my acquisitions of new books 😀
I also got myself a new header and a new follow button this week! What do you think? Silvia from Darkest Sins made them for me, and I’m really happy with the result if I may say so myself 😀
Remember to leave me your link so I can check out your Stacking the Shelves post, too 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Have a spectacular Saturday.
Ooh nice! Love the look for your new header! Very fresh and very nice! 😉
That cover for Perfect Lies is sooo different from the US one. This cover model kind of reminds me of the actress in the Hunger Games. Strange, since I haven’t seen the movies, but hard to miss the news on those movies! Plus my older sis likes them!
Hope you enjoy your newest additions! As always, my STS will be up on Sunday, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Thank you Jessica! I love it, too! Silvia from Darkest Sins made both for me. And I’m really happy with them 🙂 I needed a little change here.
Yeah, I know the Perfect Lies cover IS really different, the color scheme and everything. Thanks for stopping by, Jessica 🙂 Have a great weekend.
I really need to read some J.A. Huss, I absolutely love the sound of her plots and characters. Great new books!
Yes, J.A. Huss writes excellent books, Lily 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Interesting choices. I must say that I love your new header and your new button. Heard good things about Kiersten White.

Books of Love
Thank you Grace 🙂 I love the new header and button, too, Silvia did me well!
Have a great weekend.
I still have the first Mind Games to read but heard good things, enjoy!
Yes, I’ve heard good things as well, Luna. I haven’t read the first yet, either, so I need to hurry up.
Thanks for stopping by.
Only two books? Wow. You’re being controlled. 😉 My TBR is quite small for me…well, so far this year I’ve been really stacking up the books. But it’s getting under control now! Yay! I don’t feel so overwhelmed. 😉 My StS!
I know, right? I guess being in class instead of surfing all the book-blogs I follow helped a little, too.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Love the new header and button, they look great! Congrats on the updates
I haven’t heard of either of these before but Perfect Lies looks really intriguing. Hope you enjoy both, have a great weekend! 🙂
I am pretty sure BOMB will be aweseome, and I have enjoye Kiersten White in the past, too 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Jenn.
I love the sound of the first one, I didn’t know this one but I’m curious to read your review about it! Happy reading!
It’s the second book in a series, Melliane 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Oh! This is the first time I’ve seen that cover for Perfect Lies. Is that the UK edition? I didn’t even know there’s another edition except for the US. Happy reading!
My StS post this week!
Yes, Kai, it is the UK edition. I think I like the US edition better, but it’s still kind of nice to have the different one 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve not read either of these series yet, but they’re both on my radar.
I hope you enjoy!
I have Tease for review but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. Grim definitely looks interesting and I absolutely loved Heartbeat. It was tough to read because of the issues it dealt with, but I thought it was fantastic.
Enjoy all your goodies!
Check out my StS and my birthday giveaway!
I actually think that stories dealing with issues that are tough to read about are very good! I am lucky enough to be in a good situations, but one can never have too much empathy!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
LOVE your new header! Fantastic work! Love when blogs get a new makeover ! I just read Perfect Lies, and thought it was better than the first book. Hope you like it as well!
Thank you Shelley 🙂 I love it too!
I haven’t read the first book yet, so I better hurry up 🙂 Have a good weekend.
Thanks for stopping by.
Lovely cover for Perfect Lies! I hope you enjoy these books Lexxie! 🙂 Loving the header too. So pretty.
Thank you Chrissi 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by.
Hello Lexxie 🙂 You probably know I’m a fairly recent follower but liking what I’ve seen of your blog so far! Well done on getting only a couple 🙂 I’ve liked White’s novels before & need to get into that series. I thought I’d get to them but I never did 😉 The UK covers (where I’m from, also) are stunning 😀 I think this is a nice little haul & I hope you enjoy them!
Yes, I’m quite happy with not going overboard this week 🙂 Thank you for the compliment!
Have a wonderful weekend.
I must day I thought about buying Bomb myself. It sounds good but I haven’t read the others so I wasn’t sure about starting they’re. Enjoy your books. 🙂
I think BOMB is supposed to be a stand-alone, but I’m sure you’d enjoy it even more if you already knew Spencer a little bit.
Thanks for stopping by, Jenese.
I hadn’t heard of Kiersten White, but that book sounds interesting… Enjoy!
I’m pretty sure I will, Nikki! Thanks for stopping by.
I haven’t heard of any of these but happy reading!
Tsuki’s STS
Thanks Tsuki 🙂
Nice haul. I haven’t heard of either of these.
Oh my god you got The Fault In Our Stars by John Green! I loved that book so much. Be prepared with a box of tissues though because gah it made me cry so hard. I hope you enjoy it!
My StS
oh jeez sorry still had my last comment on my clip board lol
Don’t worry about it, Andie… I have done that same thing myself in the past 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Good luck with classes and I envy your willpower. I do a great job of reading books but keep adding them as fast as I clear them off the shelf.
Oh, usually, I add more books in a week than I can read, even if I’m a pretty fast reader 🙂 Thank you – I’m going to have a lot of classes, and it’s a little hard to get back into the rhythm.
Thanks for stopping by.
Both sound great! I’ve been seeing J.A. Huss’ titles everywhere and keep hearing such fab things about them that I feel like I should pick some reads up… Uhm, they’re quite tempting…
I can’t express well how much happy I am that you LOVE the header so much! I loved designing it and for me your enthusiasm is the best reward, so thank you!! 🙂
Silvia, I think the first Rook and Ronin book (Tragic) is $.99 right now. And those books are worth a LOT more.
Thank you for helping me make my blog an even happier place for me 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh, thanks for letting me know!
My pleasure 🙂 and hope you have a lovely weekend!
Ooh, you were good this week, Lexxie! Perfect Lies sounds good. And you already know I Love Bomb! 😉 I was pretty good too – but not quite as good as you. I’m still proud of myself though. 🙂
I really love your new header. Sky is working on a new one for me. 🙂 I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!! *BIG HUGS*
Yes, I have been good 🙂 And I can’t wait to read Bomb. I look forward to seeing your new header as well, Brandee.
*BIG HUGS*
Enjoy your new reads! My STS
Thanks for stopping by Jillyn.
I love your new header and button Lexxie! They look great!
I still haven’t grabbed my copy of Bomb, but it is on my to-read list. I am really looking forward to read Spencer’s story!
Me, too, Lola. I’m sure Spencer’s story will be great, too. And I’m looking forward to getting to know Veronica better, too.
Thanks for stopping by.
Sometimes it’s good to have a light week of adding books. I’ve seen Bomb mentioned a few times recently. Sounds like a great read.
Happy reading 🙂
My StS @ Marilyn’s Mystery Blog
Yeah, I love the Rook and Ronin universe, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy Bomb.
Thanks for stopping by, Marilyn.
Great books this week Lexxie, I’ve heard fantastic things about Perfect Lies! I hope you enjoy all of them =)
I do, too, Jeann 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I so need to get Bomb. I love Huss’s series.
Me, too. That whole universe is awesome 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer.
Oooo, the UK edition of PERFECT LIES has a nice cover! Not sure if I like it more than the US one, but I like it all the same 🙂
Enjoy your books!
Stop by my haul
I agree, I’m not sure if I enjoy it more, but it IS pretty 🙂
Thanks for stopping by.
Only adding two books is a GREAT thing. I know the feeling. I don’t buy books, but when I go to the library and only find one or two books I am in heaven!!
Yeah, I don’t know why I keep getting more new books when I already have enough to last me for a long while 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Angie.
I still need to read Mind Games. I hope you enjoy reading these Lexxie!
Thanks for stopping by my STS.
Sabina @ Delirious About Books
Yeah, me too. I have had Mind Games on my kindle for ages – need to read it so I can enjoy Perfect Lies 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Sabina.
Great haul. I really like the new header and button! I really need to work on my own one soon, it’s so bad lol. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂 My STS.
Thank you! I just had gotten sick of my old ones 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

-michelle @ Michelle & Leslie’s Book Picks
I like it too, Michelle. Thanks for stopping by.
I have Perfect Lies too! I’m trying to track down Mind Games so I can that one first, but my library is epic fail. LOL. And I missed when you could read it free for a weekend. Le sigh! One of these days I WILL start the JA Huss books! I swear it! LOL. Love the header and button too girl!
That’s no fun, Jessica! I hope you’ll find it at the library soon!
The JA Huss books are so awesome! I love them to pieces 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
Great haul! I really want to start Mind Games. I hope you enjoy your books!
Happy Reading!

You did really go this go around where as I didn’t..lol. 🙂 I had forgotten that I had requested three books from Scholastic and then boom, boom, boom they all three came in through netgalley..it was like..oohh..wow..ugh..lol 🙂 Hope you have a great week!
Uh oh, Stormi. I have been very good lately: not actually requesting anything new from Netgalley! I need to continue to read the ARCs I already have, and I also have tons of stuff to read for classes now.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by, Jay 🙂
I’ve heard wonderful things about the first Mind Games book so I hope you’ll love this one even more 😀 I’ve never heard of Bong before but it looks like it could be really intriguing! I know what you mean though…it can be nearly impossible to restrain yourself sometimes from always buying/requesting more books hehe
PS- I LOVE your new blog design! You kept your same great colour scheme and I love your hot chick with her cool book!
