Wow, four reviews in one week! Double my goal of two a week. And it was so nice to be back to regular blogging, the A to Z Challenge was a bit exhausting. There’s a few egalleys I should have got to last week, but since they don’t expire, I had to move on to those that did. Hoping to get a lot of reading done this week!

- Book Blitz: The Violet Hour by Andrea L. Wells
- Waiting on Wednesday
- Cover Characteristic
- Top 10 Tuesday (maybe)
- Possible Reviews: Illusionarium by Heather Dixon, The Choosing by Rachelle Decker, and/or Ice Kissed (Kanin Chronicles #2) by Amanda Hocking
This week should be a little less busy outside of blogging. I only work at the bookstore one weeknight. I was supposed to be going to see Pitch Perfect Thursday night, but now don’t know if I will be. So I hope to get some time at home to read and try to get caught up on my DVR TV shows.
My fit/walking goals:
I didn’t really get any walking done outside this past week thanks to all the rain we’ve been having. Hoping to get more done this week. We’ll see what happens. I did do one day of the Run Walk Run program, and I want to keep doing it. See what it does.
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.
It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. Let’s just say that until I went to the Scholastic Book Warehouse sale yesterday, I had a pretty small stack.

I had to buy the Barnes and Noble special edition copy of The Heir this week. The other five books are all from the Scholastic Warehouse sale.
E-galleys:

I’m so excited to see the first one, the sequel to The Curiosities by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yovanoff! The one by Jennifer Donnelly is another exciting one as I love her books. I normally only really take YA books, but once in a while a memoir grabs me, and Felicia Day has been on some of my favorite shows, so I’m excited to read her book.

I have read and enjoyed Jemima J, so had to get the first one. The other two just sounded halfway good and for free I said why not!
So, what did you add to your shelves this week?
Great haul this week! I've been wanting to read Prisoner of Night and Fog for a while now but I still haven't purchased a copy. Beneath was an okay read. I hope you enjoy everything! 🙂
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
I read an egalley of it, but when I saw it at the Scholastic Warehouse sale I knew I had to own my own copy. I like Roland Smith, so had to grab Beneath for cheap. Thanks for stopping by!
I loved Jemma J! Looks like you have a lot of nice books to read, enjoy.
It's been a while since I've read it, but I did really enjoy it, so had to grab this free ebook. Thanks for visiting!
I can't wait to see what you think of Scarlet and Beneath. You got so many awesome new books and several I'll be checking out. These Shallow Graves has me curious.

It was a good week for lots of cool books! Thanks for stopping by!
Some interesting choices there. I had a pretty good week – I didn't read as much as usual, but enjoyed what I did read!
I got my normal amount of reading done, but would have like to got more. Can't wait for summer and hoping to do a lot of reading! Thanks for visiting!
Looks like a nice mixture of genres for you this week-hope you like them all!
Some different stuff. I do like all different types, so it is good to have them all available. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, enjoy your new books! I loved Jemima J, the first book I read by Jane Green…now I'm curious about Cat.
Enjoy…and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I also liked Jemima J, so hoping I'll enjoy this little novella as well. Thanks for visiting!
Ohhh, These Shallow Graves looks good judging by the cover. I'll anxiously await your review. 🙂

FictionZeal – Impartial, Straighforward Fiction Book Reviews
Yes, it sounds really good, and it's by an author that I've really enjoyed two of her other books. Thanks for stopping by!
I really want to read The Heir but I'm trying to catch up with my review books now. Great haul!
I know! I had to buy it, just don't know when I'll get to it with all my review books. Thanks for stopping by.
So many great books! I want to read The Heir though of course I have to read the whole series first! Catching up on DVR'd TV always sounds like a good plan to me. Hopefully you're able to get some relaxing in soon one way or another. Have a great week!
I loved The Selection series, hope you get to read them back to back! Can't wait for The Heir, just don't know when I'll have time to read it. Hoping to have a relaxing week, or more than last week anyway. Thanks for visiting!
Oh my god I didn't even know there was a fourth Selection book. And I've never heard of the Stiefvater book, I have to get those!
Thanks for the visit on my blog 🙂
Yep, just came out! It is Prince Maxon and America's daughter. And the Stiefvater book is short stories from her and Tessa Gratton and Brenna Yovanoff. I have a copy of the first one, will want a copy of this one too at some point.
A Scholastic Book Warehouse sale sounds like the most amazing thing in the world! Or the worst I guess, depending on how much you spend 😉 I really want to read Prisoner of Night and Fog and These Shallow Graves too. And one day, I will get around to starting Scarlet, I swear! Hope you enjoy the new books, and have a wonderful week 🙂
Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight
It is amazing, and dangerous. I told myself this time if I couldn't carry it in my arms than I wasn't getting it. To try to save money. But then I ended up going back and getting a cart and still spending $50. But if you spent $50, you got $10 off. So I spent $60 and got $10 off of that. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Great haul this week! I see a few books up there I can't wait to get myself. I hope next week (this week at this point, lol) is a better week for your walking goals.
Dreams @ Once Upon A Dream Books
Well, the rain is back, so looks like my walking goals will be out the window again! 🙁 Thanks for stopping by!
Great books this week. The Heir looks excellent!
I hope you have a fantastic week 🙂 Happy Reading!
Here's my Weekly Wrap Up
Michelle @ Book Briefs
Can't wait till I have some time to read it! Thanks for visiting!
Love your galleys this week, and your haul from the Scholastic warehouse sale! I used to go to those, too, back when my daughter was young. They were fun – I always came home with way too many books!
I didn't even show the books I got just for my school from the warehouse sale. And this is one that is in the actual warehouse,not at a school. It's incredible. Thanks for stopping by!
You know how some covers just grab you? Well From a Distant Star is one of those for me. I'm off to read the blurb and check out its availability. I'm looking forward to seeing your review.
Awesome! Hope it sounds like something you want to read. I'm excited for it.
