The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s
a chance to share news ~ A post to recap the past week on your blog,
showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is
coming up on our blog for the week ahead. See rules here: 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:
- Review: Cipher by Cindi Madsen
- Book Blitz: Numbers Game by Rebecca Rode
- Waiting on Wednesday: Return to the Dark House (Dark House #2) by Laurie Faria Stolarz
- Review: The Cemetery Boys by Heather Brewer
- Clear Your Shelf Giveaway Hope – Ends on Wednesday!!!
- Review: The Revelation of Louisa May by Michaela MacColl
- Cover Characteristic: Gardens
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.

It's one I'm very excited about! Thanks for stopping by!
Nice haul! All three of your e-galleys look really good and I'm looking forward to reading Daughter of Deep Silence when it releases 🙂 Nice job for keeping up with your blogging schedule and goals. Happy reading this week!

I'm doing my best to keep up. Hope to keep doing it all year! Thanks so much for visiting!
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!
Innocent Blood looks quite good. Ya know you are more than welcome to combine both memes. We love hearing from you!
I do need to combine them more often. 🙂 I like doing both of them! Especially now that I've started planning ahead more. Thanks for visiting!
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!
Hmm, interesting! I am usually the one who doesn't get approved for egalleys. Can't wait till I can get around to it on my schedule! Thanks for stopping by!
So many new books. Innocent Blood is one I think I've read. I'll have to check as it's been a bit. Daughter of Deep Silence and Deadly Design look pretty good too.

I need to get to Innocent Blood, but it may not happen till this summer at the earliest. Thanks for stopping by!
Great haul! I can't wait for Deadly Design. I requested it a while on Edelweiss, but sadly, I've not been responded to yet. :/ I will be looking forward to your review on it!
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Interesting! Hopefully you'll hear back soon on that! I'm usually the one that doesn't hear back for the longest time on things. Thanks for visiting!
Awesome stack this week! Check out my STS? http://bundles-of-books.blogspot.com/2015/03/stacking-shelves-7.html
Thanks! It was a smaller one, so that makes me very happy! Glad you stopped by!
I have Daughter of Deep Silence too!! Started it and it's quite intriguing so far!! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Glad to hear that! Can't wait to get started on it. Thanks for visiting!
Daughter of Deep Silence sounds really good, I hope you like it 😀
Thanks for stopping by my post!
El @ So Bookalicious
I can't wait, especially as I enjoyed the author's other books! Thanks for returning the stop!
Torn sounds good, and hope you enjoy. have a wonderful week
The book before Torn was pretty good, so I'm looking forward to this sequel. Thanks for stopping by!
The Carrie Ryan book looks good. Hope you enjoy your new reads!
It's one I've been very excited about for awhile! Thanks for visiting!
Enjoy the new books. I think the way Leonard Nimoy used his role as Spock was amazing. It was a hard role and he parlayed it into a lifetime of creativity.
I was always a huge fan of him, and Spock was my favorite character of all the series. Thanks for stopping by!
The books you got this week all sound good. Enjoy and have a great week!
I am very excited for them all! Thanks for visiting!
I can't wait to read Carrie Ryan's new one! I hope you enjoy all of your new books 🙂
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Same here, it is one I've been very excited about since I first heard about it. Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you enjoy the Carrie Ryan novel. I read a book of hers a couple weeks ago and it was something else! You have such a pretty blog. Adding you to feedly 😀
I really liked her other series that I read, so I'm really looking forward to one that sounds a bit different. Thanks for stopping by and following!
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! 😀
