I didn’t do my StS last week so this is two weeks worth. I’m very excited about each of these books especially Princess of Thorns (eeep).
Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is a weekly meme where you show what books you’ve purchased, gotten from the library, received from giveaway, as gifts or for review.
NetGalley:
Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay
For Review (and being on the blog tour):
Bitter Greens by Kate Forysth, Blackbird by Anna Carey, Echoes of Us by Kat Zhang and A New Darkness by Joseph DeLaney
I’m on the Bitter Greens blog tour so look out for that at the beginning of October. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in retellings, adult fiction and historical fiction.
Won:
The Lost by Sarah Beth Durst
Ooh, Bitter Greens sounds so perfect for me! Can’t wait to read that one.
I hope you like it Kelley! I thought it was beautifully done.
Bitter greens you say? If it is a retellings that u recommend I’m sold. I’m also looking forward to a new darkness. Great stack per the norm. 🙂
~ Britt @ please feed the bookworm
Bitter Greens has the feel of historical fiction and is an adult book so has some dark content but done oh so beautifully. I adored it. If you read it let me know your thoughts!
Great books! Love the cover for Princess of Thorns!
Thanks Lekeisha! I love that cover too. I had to start it this week because it was just too tempting.
Bitter Greens sounds awesome! I hadn’t heard of Princess of Thorns before, but the blurb makes it look amazing. Retellings are the best. I hope you enjoy your books. 🙂
I started Princess of Thorns and I’m enjoying it so far. It feels less like a retelling and more like an expansion on Sleeping Beauty.
:O Princess of Thorns! I can’t wait to here what you think. The blurb, and my current desire to read a good fantasy, has got me at the edge of my seat for this release.
I had to start reading it because it kept calling to me. I’m about 20% in and liking it a lot 🙂
It sucks I was declined on Netgalley for Princess of Thorns. I’m so excited about that one 😀 I liked Echoes of us, it was a good conclusion to the series. Happy reading!
Oh no! I bet it was the location bit. Boo.
I have read some amazing reviews for The Lost. I bought it on my kindle and it is still on there!
Blackbird by Anna Carey looks brilliant! It looks like a great fast paced thriller! I look forward to your review on it! 🙂
Thanks for sharing & I hope you enjoy all of your books! 🙂

I’ve not heard a lot about The Lost but I’m excited about it! What I have heard has been positive. I started Blackbird–about 13% in. I’ve heard some meh things about it so a tad nervous. Have a great week Alex!
Yey for Princess of Thorns! I’m thinking I might have to use that one as my new indulgent early ARC read, it looks sooooo good!
Yep, Anya! I couldn’t wait any longer so I started it. About 20% in and liking it.
I have 4 or 5 books on your list here, I hope you like them!

Whoohoo to similar piles of books! I hope you love them too!
I wasn’t approved for Bitter Greens but since you’ve so highly recommended it to me, I’ve decided to preorder it already!
What a neat haul this week, Kristen! I cannot wait to see what you think of Princess of Thorns, I’m so very intrigued about that one!
Happy reading!
Oh! I hope you love it Pili. Please let me know your thoughts as you read it. I’m nervous now that you’ll not like it! I started PoT and I’m liking it a lot! It has some pretty typical tropes in it but all so fun. I think you’ll like it.
Wow princess of thorns looks good! I may request it on net galley too.
You should Jocelyn!
Ooh, I think I’ve had Bitter Greens around for a while; it’s been out since 2012 here. Must get round to reading it! Looking forward to seeing you host part of the blog tour!
read it Nikki!! Have you read any other of Kate Forsyth’s work? I’m so excited about The Wild One.
Great haul! I received Princess Of Thorns a couple weeks ago for review, and I can’t wait to finally read it. I haven’t read anything by Stacey Jay, and I’m excited to finally see what all the rave is about with her books. I also have Blackbird, A New Darkness, and a signed copy of Lost. I’m hoping too get to them all soon! I hope you enjoy all your new goodies this week!

I really loved Of Beast and Beauty! I started PoT and liking it so far. I hope you enjoy it.
YAY! I got Princess of Thorns last week – I’m pretty excited about it, because FANTASY 😀 I hope you enjoy all of your new books, Kristen!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a fabulous weekend 🙂
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Yes to Princess of Thorns!! Have a great week Alyssa!
Yay for beautiful books. <3 I hope you will love them all Kristen 😀 Hmph. I got declined for Princess of Thorns :p must read your review before I decide if I should pre-order it 😀 Hope you love it. <3 Sigh. Blackbird. I gave it three stars. But thinking back, I'm thinking it wasn't worth more than 1 stars o.O Not that good at all. Ending was STUNNING. But only the last couple of pages. Hmph. Excited to see what you think of it 🙂 Happy reading sweetie. <3
I’m so sad you got declined. I imagine it’s because of location 🙁 Such a bummer. I have enjoyed what I’ve read of it so far but I’ll DM you when I finish it. I’m scared to bother with Blackbird. I’ve heard nothing but negative things about it. To only have a few great pages…not sure I want to read it. Bleh.
Princess of Thorns sounds awesome, but I held back on requesting because I wasn’t a big fan of her other book. Curious to see what you think! 🙂
I really like Of Beast and Beauty–so far I’m liking PoT but I’m only 20% in. Have a great week Renu!
Princess of Thorns! I saw that you really enjoyed this one on Goodreads. ;D
I have to read Bitter Greens asap after seeing how much you love it. And you know what I feel about Echoes of Us. ;D
I really hope you like Bitter Greens. It’s a slower read but so beautifully done. Jon adored it as well. And Princess of Thorns was such a fast, fun read.
Dangit! I still need to get to Bitter Greens, too. Considering the audio on that one, as well, because your gushing over it means I won’t be able to forget it until I read it. 🙂 I got a copy of The Lost, too, a couple of weeks back, and the pub is sending over the audio for Echoes of Us. Can’t wait to read them! Hope you enjoy all of your new reads!
I bet the audio of Bitter Greens would be amazing! Let me know how you feel about it!! If you don’t plan on reading The Lost in the next month or so maybe we could do a read-along?
I got Princess of Thorns as well as I am BEYOND excited to read it. 😀 Of Beast and Beauty was one of my favorite reads last year – I hope this one is just as good! Happy reading, lady!
