STS #131 – Bought Borrowed & Bagged #81
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about the latest additions to your library – virtual or actual, with books that are bought, borrowed, won or ARCs you will be reading soon. Bought Borrowed and Bagged is a homage to to Barron’s Books and Baubles from KMM’ Fever series, and is hosted by Braine over at Talk Supe. Without further ado, here’s what I bought, borrowed or bagged this past week:
Mr. Perfect by J.A. Huss
Wanting the perfect man doesn’t make me crazy. I just know what I like.
A powerful billionaire in a suit wasn’t even my first choice. McAllister Stonewall was never on my radar, I didn’t even know he existed.
But I do now.
His hands are all over me at work. The heat of his chest pressing against my bare back as he bends me over the desk is the only thing on my mind.
He is my most forbidden desires unleashed. He is my new secret obsession. He is my Mr. Perfect.
Until the moment I realize… There’s no such thing as perfect.
The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle #2) by Maggie Steifvater
Now that the ley lines around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after….
Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle #3) by Maggie Stiefvater
There is danger in dreaming. But there is even more danger in waking up.
Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs.
The trick with found things though, is how easily they can be lost.
Friends can betray.
Mothers can disappear.
Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price – and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone.
A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction – if they don’t kill each other first.
Did you get some exciting-looking books this week? Remember to leave me your link so I can check out your Stacking the Shelves and or Bought, Borrowed and Bagged post, too 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Have a spectacular Saturday.
Lots of great books. I´ve been wanting to read Maggie Stiefvater´s books, but so far they are only on my readinglist. Håper du får en flott lørdag 🙂 I dag er det jo Verdens Bokdag, så du har lov til å lese så masse du bare vil 😉 Klemmer i fleng 🙂
Jeg har lest andre serier Maggie Stiefvater har skrevet, og jeg har virkelig likt de. Jeg har lest den første i Raven Boys serien, og jeg vil gjerne lese de to neste før jeg skal til BEA i Chicago i mai… for der er Stiefvater 🙂
Ha en flott helg, Anette 🙂 Klemmer i fleng til deg også.
Great haul, Lexxie! I hope you love all of your new books 🙂
Thanks, Danielle 🙂 I can’t wait to read the Raven Cycle books 🙂
The Raven books have nice covers! Hope you enjoy your new reads when you get time to read them.
I agree, those covers are works of art, Chuckles 🙂
l lot of people seem to have purchased books in the Raven Cycle series in anticipation for The Raven King. They are beautiful. Happy Reading!
My STS
I actually got the Raven Cycle books so that I can read them before I go to BEA in two weeks. Maggie Stiefvater is going to be there, and I really want to be up to date on her books 😀
Ahh, that makes sense. I hope you get to those and enjoy them. Have a blast meeting Maggie!
Thank you! I can’t wait 🙂
Oh lots of great books I need to be digging into aswell there! My STS is at https://brizzlelassbooks.wordpress.com/2016/04/23/stacking-the-shelves-2-new-books-this-week/
Thanks for stopping by, Claire 🙂
I’ve only ever read one Maggie Stiefvater book but the ones in your post sound really good so I think I maybe need to give her another go! I hope you enjoy reading all of your new books and that you have a great week.
I read The Raven Boys (the first Raven Cycle) not too long ago, and I really enjoyed it, Hayley 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I had got Six of Crows on audio a little bit ago. Hope we both enjoy it!! Happy reading!
I hope we’ll both enjoy it, too, Grace 🙂

You got some good ones, I have always been curious about them Raven Boys. 🙂
The first one was really good, Stormi 🙂
Oh I have been curious about that new JA Huss series. I haven’t read any of her books but these sounded interesting!
I have tried to get into the Raven Cycle books but I am just not feeling it. I have been on book 1 forever! (Seriously, I think I started last summer!). Maybe one day it will work for me!
Have a great week!
I absolutely love JA Huss, Samantha! Her characters always surprise me, and it’s impossible to guess what will happen next.
I’ve read the first Raven Cycle book, and I actually enjoyed that one 🙂

Looks like a great selection of books. All authors that I’ve yet to try, but hear great things about them. I hope you enjoy them. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Enjoy your weekend.
Is it weird that I’m kind of happy that for once you haven’t already read the authors I’ve added? Thanks for stopping by.
Great haul! I really want to read Maggie Steifvater soon. She is coming to my area for a book signing soon so I need to get on it. I picked up the audio of Six of Crows a few weeks ago but haven’t gotten to it yet. Enjoy all of your new books!
She’ll be at BEA, too, and I can’t wait! I have read several of her other books, and really enjoy her writing. I want to try to catch up with the Raven Cycle, though, as she’ll be signing the next book in the series in Chicago.

I haven’t started The Raven Cycle yet, but I have the first book. I hope you enjoy Six of Crows!
I’ve read the first one, Lekeisha, and enjoyed that. I hope I’ll enjoy Six of Crows, too 🙂
It seems wherever I go, that people are getting the Leigh Bardugo book. I hope you love all of your new books.
Grace @ Books of Love
I wanted to read (or rather, listen to) the Bardugo book before BEA, as she’ll be there 🙂

Hahahaha 🙂
YAY for The Raven Cycle Books! I can’t remember if you’re read the series yet or not but if it’s your first time, I hope you ADORE the series as much as I did! The Raven King is coming soon 😀 Happy weekend my friend ♥
I’ve only read the very first book, Micheline, and I really enjoyed it, too! I look forward to continuing.
I have the first book in The Raven Cycle series, but didn’t get a chance to read it yet. I’ve heard a lot of great things about Six of Crows. I can’t wait for it to go on sale.
Great haul! Happy Reading!
I’ve read the first Raven Cycle book, and really enjoyed it Stacey, and I’ve heard great things about Six of Crows as well 🙂 Have a great weekend.
Good ones 🙂 Happy reading.
Thanks 🙂
Enjoy your new books! I’ve never read Maggie Stiefvater, but I’m curious. I haven’t posted my Stacking the Shelves yet, as I’m engrossed in the Read-a-Thon. Enjoy!
I have read Stiefvater before, and her YA stories are really well done, Laurel-Rain 🙂
Great haul! I loved the Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater so I don’t know why I haven’t checked out the Raven Cycle yet. Happy reading!
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
I really loved the Wolves of Mercy Falls, too, Krystianna 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I heard good things about the Raven Cycle series, did you enjoy the first book? I haven’t read anything by that author before. Same with Leigh Bardugo, haven’t read any of her books either, even though I heard lots of good things about it. I do own Shadow and Bone , just haven’t read it yet. And I hope you’ll enjoy Mr Perfect as I know you’re a fan of that author her books. It does sound like a good one!
I did enjoy the first Raven Cycle book, Lola, and I have read several other Stiefvater books, that I loved, so I’m looking forward to continuing this series.
I haven’t read any Leigh Bardugo, though, and I want to read at least one of her titles before BEA.
oh my goodness….I love the blurb for Mr. Perfect and I don’t think I have heard of that author before!!! Gotta pick this one up.
Oh my goodness, Renee! How have I not made you a Hussie yet? Huss writes a lot of NA romances, some of them are a bit dark, with some suspense, and always something that surprises me 🙂
I really enjoyed The Dream Thieves. I’m probably about 40% of the way through Blue Lily (although it’s been awhile since I picked it up). I keep getting distracted and wanted it to be fresh in my mind for the last book. I definitely plan on finishing it soon. Happy weekend!
Oh nice, Natalie! I really look forward to continuing the series 🙂
Great books 🙂 I still haven’t read The Raven Boys series. I hear so many amazing things about it.
The first book was really good, Marie 🙂 And I’m definitely a Stiefvater fan 🙂
I hope you enjoy your new books. I’ve heard so many good things about Maggie Stiefvater’s work. I should probably read one of her books someday.
I love Stiefvater’s books, Aj, I hope you’ll find one to pick up soon 🙂
The Raven Cycle looks really good – I haven’t encountered Maggie Stiefvater’s books before and reading everyone’s comments above makes me think I need to get hold of them:). Have a great week. This is my Weekly Wrap-Up – https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/weekly-wrap-up-24th-april/
Oh if you read YA, you should definitely pick up a Stiefvater book, she writes great stories 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
some interesting ones there! happy reading!
Thanks, Melliane 🙂

I definitely want to start reading The Raven Boys! I may have to buy the kindle copy or something. We’ll see 🙂
I really enjoyed The Raven Boys, Gen, and I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy the next stories in the series, too, Stiefvater is an excellent storyteller after all 😀
I keep meaning to read The Raven Cycle books. Hopefully I’ll find the time at some point. Happy reading!
Tsuki’s STS
I have just started, and I want more, Tsuki 🙂
Great haul! I absolutely loved Six of Crows. I’m curious to see how the audio of it is.
I’m trying to listen to more audios, and I hope I’ll enjoy Six of Crows, Samantha 🙂
Twitter: talksupeblog
Great YA up there, enjoy 🙂
Thanks, Braine 🙂
I can’t wait to chat about Mr Perfect. And Maggie’s series…some day I’ll get to start that one! 😉
I hope your weekend was wonderful! **BIG HUGS**
Maggie’s series has definitely started out really good, Brandee!
Good books, I am going to start six of crows soon, looking forward to it!
I am looking forward to Six of Crows as well 🙂 I hope we’ll both enjoy it, Heather 🙂
Oooh… The Raven Cycle series! I have the first book, but haven’t read it yet… I need to get to it and get it done!
