February is almost over and I’m honestly not sad to say goodbye. My husband starts a new job Monday so that is really exciting. I’m also so excited about the new releases coming this next month. The Storyspinner, The Winner’s Crime and I don’t even know what else. Those are the two I’m focused on.
On to the newest additions to my shelves. 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.

The winner’s crime signed is so beautiful!!! *-*
It is! I just love it…even prettier than I dreamed.
You are the luckiest. <3 Knew you would get that signed The Winner's Crime 😀 Though I am still all kinds of jealous, lol. <3 I want it so badly. Sniffs. But considering they didn't even send me the print ARC, I doubt I'm getting this 🙁 SOBS. But yeah. It is gorgeous 😀 And you are so so lucky to have gotten it. <3 and you deserve it too, hih 🙂 ANYWAY. So many amazing books this week Kristen 😀 You get so many review books. Sigh. So jealous, again, lol. I love The Thickety books 😀 They are so sad. And evil. And so so good. Loooove the Shiver box set. <3 Gorgeous covers 😉 And yay for husband getting new job 😀 More money? Hih 🙂 Anyway. Happy reading Kristen. <3 Hope you love all these awesome looking books 🙂
Oh Carina it was such a surprise and I cried a little. It’s one of my favorite series ever and I was so honored. I’m so sorry that you’ve still not gotten an arc 🙁 I haven’t read the first Thickety book–maybe I will eventually. You are not the first to tell me they are so sad and evil.
So I pretty much missed ALL OF FEB BUT I’M HERE NOW!! YOUR COPY OF WINNER’S CRIME OH GOODNESS!!
Gah Vanishing Girls! I have that one as well and I’m hoping that it turns out to be a good one!
HI JESS! I missed you lovely lady! I’m only about 100 pages into VG and I’m surprised but I’m liking it!
YAY! I’m in love with so many of the books you posted: Magonia, The Winner’s Curse, Vanishing Girls, etc. The Shiver boxset is so gorgeous, I think I might need to get it ASAP. Oh, TWC is just perfect. Macmillan is so kind for sending it to you.
Macmillan is so very kind. I’m so honored that I was thought of. I LOVE the Shiver box set. I do think the original US covers might be even better just because the ink inside matches.
WOW! Amazing haul! So many great books! I’m definitely ready to say goodbye to February. Bring on March and Spring and the Spring book releases! I hope you enjoy your new books!

Thank you it’s MARCH. Let good books and luck rain down 🙂
OOH TWC! I read Curse and really enjoyed it. lucky for me, I won a giveaway for an ARC of Crime so I’ll definitely be reading that shortly.
I’m not sure if I want to read Public Enemies because the first one didn’t agree with me completely, even though I like the idea. I’m still debating, haha.
My Stacking the Shelves + Montly Recap here!

I loved Curse and Crime. I hope you enjoy your ARC! And yay to winning a copy! I’m not sure about Public Enemies myself. I’m not entirely sure why I requested it because the first book was just meh to me. Ugh, I hate it when I do that to myself. I hope it is awesome and better than the first. We’ll see.
Ah! I cannot wait to get The Vanishing Girls and The Winner’s Crime!
And look at those books! I LOVE The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy SO much! I need to get this version soon too!.. Sam was my very first book boyfriend – he is so special to me 🙂 And no, I did not name my youngest child after him 😉
Enjoy all your new books 🙂
OOoh nice! YAY for signed copies!!! Authors are just freaking amazing! They are always surprising me, but it really shouldn’t surprise me anymore!
And oooh The Replaced AND Empire of Night!! Ignore the green eyes of envy look over here! LOL!
And oooh pretty UK copies of the Shiver trilogy! I did just buy the UK edition of Forever last week at HPB! They had quite a few copies of it, and naturally, that little voice inside of me said buy it, buy it, buy it!!
Hope you enjoy all your new reads!!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!

I can’t wait to see what you think of Magonia, I am torn about picking it up. It has such an interesting premise! I am about to start The Storyspinner, I can’t wait. I am hoping to meet Marie Rutkoski this month and get both books signed! Enjoy your books 🙂
I can’t wait for my final copy of The Winner’s Crime! It’s sooo beautiful
