Stacking the Shelves #39 + Books Up For Review!


Hi there strangers!! I've been kind of hit and miss on the blog this past spring but school is out!!! I'm not in school but I work at a university so it gets a bit chaotic. :/

Anywho... last month I kicked off book for review under the #booksfortrade tag on Twitter. So far so good! So after attending BEA and doing some spring ARC cleaning I'm hosting a round 2. The deal is simple, you receive an ARC and have three weeks to submit your review to becomingbooksblog [AT] gmail.com. I'm not super strict or anything but communication is key. Those that have been guest reviewers in the past will get priority. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the books up for review.

From BEA 2015

I tried really hard to limit the books I picked up at BEA after having way too many last year. I did get lucky and picked up a number of finished copies. :) Thanks to all the awesome publishers and authors!

 
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, special edition and signed!

Available For Guest Review

Please email your requests to becomingbooksblog[AT]gmail.com if you're interested in reviewing any of the following titles. Reviews should be at least three paragraphs long. *More ARCs may become available as I evaluate my reading schedule. So check in on future StS posts.

I've been trading in (culling) a bunch of books into the store for credit so... I picked up City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare. I own book one and three so continuing this series is at a standstill no more! I also stopped by Barnes and Noble because I had a coupon so I picked up Red Rising by the gorgeous Pierce Brown.

Woot!!! 2015 is on fire. Well actually, it's kind of chilly here in the South.
But you're not here for weather, you're here for books!

I got a bookcase for Christmas and it's already full! Yay :)
Also, I got my Boxing Day order from the Book Outlet in so that was major book mail. I've picked up a few other books so lets see what I got...

 While in Austin I visited Half Price Books which I miss so much!! I also picked up these beauties :)
Side note: I'm building up my graphics collection!!! I exchanged Unbroken for All The Bright Places after reading all the raves. I've been promised tears so I hope I'm not disappointed.

Stacking the Shelves #36: Dec. 28 – Jan. 3


I hope everyone has a great holiday season. I've been away from home for the past two weeks and am actually traveling back to NC today. When I arrive I anticipate many books waiting patiently for me :)

Some hopes for the new year are to decrease my number of buys and advance read requests. Also, I would like to cull more books for selling to the used book store.

Last but not least, I'm on the hunt for amazing book shelves. Leave suggestions in the comments!

From the Store

 
  I sold some books back to the used bookstore before leaving town for the holidays and decided to get a BUNCH of Bleach manga because I LOVED book one so much. I picked up books two through  seven and 11 – 20. :)

Christmas Haul

 
50 Shades of Chicken!!! hahahaha, I found this to be hilarious! Filled with recipes plus a side steamy of fan fiction. :p

For as much YA I read I read equally as much World War II fiction. I can't really explain my draw to it but I enjoy it :) Plus, the Maze Runner because... MAZE RUNNER!

For Review

  
Thanks HarperCollins for the advance reads!


Did you get a Christmas Haul? Spend all your gift card money? Share :)

Stacking the Shelves #35: Dec. 14 – Dec. 27


SOOO my book buying has gotten a bit out of hand these past couple of weeks.

For starters I went to the annual county library book sale and then I was tempted by the used bookstore and numerous sales at Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. Oy Vey!!!


I'm thinking a book buying ban might be in order to kick off 2015. :/

Here's what I added to my shelves over the past few weeks...
(Christmas/Boxing Day Haul will be revealed in the new year)

I got this awesome stack from a fellow blogger :) Thanks Kierra!


Purchased
  
  

The annual county library book sale was selling all YA hardcovers for $2 so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to stock up on series and other goodies!

The entire Harry Potter set for $14!


   
Haters can hate but, yes, I bought the Twilight Saga. I read them back in college but they were mom's copies so I thought for $8 I could own my own set. 

  
Wolves of Mercy Falls series
