Sunday Post Meme
.   I haven’t done a Sunday Post in a while, but I was pretty good this past week and so don’t have a lot to share for Stacking the Shelves, so I thought I’d share some upcoming events, as well as celebrate the amount of reading I got done this past week during my spring break.

Last week on the blog:

 Now that is three reviews for the week, but I actually finished 4 books, I’ll just be reviewing the 4th one, We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach, tomorrow as part of a blog tour.  I only ended up doing the Cover Characteristic post because one of my goals for this year was to try to post every day on my blog.  And so I had to do something!  My other goal was to stay with at least 2 reviews a week, and I did that for sure with 3 this past week.

This week on the blog:

  • A to Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal
  • We All Looked Up Review and Official Book Playist
  • Review:  Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer
  • Review:   Forbidden by Kimberley Griffiths Little
  • YA Spring Fling Giveaway Blitz??
  • Maybe Cover Characteristic 

Getting ready for the A to Z Blogging Challenge in April, I’ll be revealing the theme for my posts on Monday.  My review for We All Looked Up is also scheduled for Monday as I’m part of a tour and didn’t really choose at the time.  I also have written on my calendar for the YA Spring Fling Giveaway Blitz and I’m not sure exactly what I’m supposed to be doing for that yet.  So that’ll be a surprise for me too!  I finished Belzhar Saturday night, so it will need to be reviewed Tuesday probably.  And I just started Forbidden this morning, so it will be a review later this week.  The theme for the cover characteristic meme this week is hair, so I may or may not mess with it.  

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.
 It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected.   I was pretty good this week in that I only got one physical book, and only 3 e-galleys.

I found another magazine that I felt I had to have, even though I have yet to have time to pick up the two I got last week.

I found this on our bargain table last week, a hardcover for $5.98, cheaper than even buying the mass market paperback, especially with my 30% employee discount.

E-galleys:

 

I was so excited when I finally got approved for Daughter of Deep Silence, I love Carrie Ryan’s zombie series.  I also am looking forward to reading the sequel to Feuds, and the last one just looks and sounds really good.  With Torn, I got to thinking about all the times I didn’t get ARCs of sequels or other books in series that I’d read the first book.  So I think I might go search through Edelweiss and maybe Netgalley for the sequels to see if I can still find them.  At least books that I read the first one in the past year.  

What did you add to your bookshelves this past week?

  1. I read The Forest of Hands and Teeth years ago but never got round to reading the trilogy. Now I think I need to track down the prequels so I can do a full series read. I might investigate some of her other work. Enjoy your books!

    • The trilogy was pretty good, although the first book was probably my favorite. You should definitely get all of them and read them all together. I love when I can do that. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I requested a copy of Deadly Design but I don't think the stars aligned for me to get this one. I hope you enjoy all of you galleys, especially Daughter of Silence!

  3. I looove the cover for Daughter of Deep Silence! I've only read one of Carrie Ryan's other books, but I quite liked it. 🙂

    I hope you enjoy all of your books! 😀
