Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme created and hosted by Tynga @ Tynga’s Reviews. It gives bloggers the chance to show their readers books they’ve bought, borrowed or received during the week.
I’ve had a great week book wise. Have a look at my acquisitions for this week:
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson – I got this book to review from The Reading Room and I’ve only just started it but I’m surprised by just how funny it is. It’s beautiful and fantastically eccentric. I’m really enjoying it.
The Inevitability of Stars by Kathryn R Lyster
The Inevitability of Stars by Kathryn R. Lyster (Harlequin) – This book is a new adult novel set in Byron Bay and Sydney. The cover is absolutely gorgeous and the blurb is so enticing… “A modern-day Romeo and Juliet set amongst the beauty of Byron Bay and the grind of Sydney.”
Siege by Sarah Mussi and the film Upside Down
I was lucky enough to win this dystopian pack from Date A Book. Siege by Sarah Mussi (great photo skillz there. I managed to cover up the authors name. It’s SARAH MUSSI!) and the Kirsten Dunst movie, Upside Down.
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
And finally, If I Stay by Gayle Forman. This is one that I borrowed from my local library this week. They have a fantastic selection of books. I also picked up a couple of cookbooks! I’ve heard amazing things about If I Stay and am very eager to experience Gayle Forman’s writing for myself.
That’s the additions to my personal library for this week. 🙂 Feel free to leave me a comment telling me which books you got this week. Thanks 🙂
whY.A.not? 
You got some great books! The Sky is Everywhere has been on my TBR list for so long, I hope it’s really good! Can’t wait to read your review for it!
It’s really good. I can’t stop reading… I’m nearly finished!
The Sky is Everywhere is one of my favourite YA books – look put for a poem that describes grief as a house. I bought The Siege last week and I’m looking forward to trying it! 🙂
I’ve not come to that poem yet but I’m really enjoying it. Hope you have a great week reading 🙂
Thanks!
You too! 🙂
I love love love The Sky Is Everywhere! Joe is just so irresistible! And If I Stay is heart-wrenching but absolutely amazing. I love the cover you got. It’s pretty. 🙂
Oh – I know what you mean about Joe! Thanks for visiting!
I hadn’t heard of The Sky is Everywhere, but it sounds good! I still have yet to read Gayle Forman, but I’ve heard great things about her books! Have fun reading!
It’s a few years old (first published in 2010) but it’s a beautiful story about a girl who’s sister died unexpectedly and she’s dealing with the aftermath. I’m really enjoying it. Thanks for visiting!
From what you wrote about The Sky is Everywhere, it sounds really, really good! I’m curious to see your full review! 🙂 Happy reading!
Alice @ Alice in Readerland
Thanks Alice! It probably won’t be long… This is a book that I haven’t wanted to put down.. and if I hadn’t needed to go to work and sleep I probably wouldn’t have! Hope you have a great week and thanks for visiting!
I’ve heard nothing but great things about If I Stay. I hope you enjoy that one! 😀
Happy reading! (:
My STS
IT looks interesting – I just hope it’s not too much of a tearjerker! Thanks for visiting!
I’ve heard The Sky is Everywhere is fantastic: I’m glad you’re enjoying it! If I Stay is one I’ve had my eyes on for a while now… I’m thinking I need to put that one on the wishlist!
Such a nice haul and the The Sky is Everywhere is calling my name! Enjoy and have a lovely week! The Sunday Post
I’m nearly finished the Sky is Everywhere and it gets my stamp of approval. I’m really enjoying it. Hope you also have a great week 🙂
Hey, we have the same blog design! 😉 I still really need to read The Sky is Everywhere, and I LOVED If I Stay! Happy reading. 🙂
Jen at Books and Other Happy Ever Afters
Oohh… I love endorsements of books I’m going to read! So glad you enjoyed them so much. And all the cool kids have this blog design 😉 oh my… I think I just reverted back to my twelve year old self with that sort of comment. Oh well! Hi! Thanks for visiting!
I still have to read The Sky is Everywhere, but… If I Stay is one of my all time favorites. That’s a cover I haven’t seen before though. Happy reading! 🙂
Emz @ Icy Cold Reads
This is one of the UK covers. I quite like it but I imagine it’ll probably make more sense once I’ve read the book. Thanks for visiting!
I loved If I Should Stay by Gayle Forman! The cover for The Sky Is Everywhere is pretty, I will have to check that book out. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Reading!
Jess @ Jess Time To Read
I can’t wait to read If I stay. So many people have said such lovely things about it. Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great week!
I can’t believe I still haven’t read The Sky Is Everywhere – it looks so good! If I Stay was pretty good, but I wasn’t as crazy about it as everyone else seemed to be. Thanks for stopping by my StS! 😀
I definitely recommend The Sky is Everywhere. And I’ll try not to go into If I Stay with too high expectations. Thanks for visiting! 😀
If I Stay is on my to-read list too, I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for dropping by my blog, and happy reading!
I’m looking forward to reading it! You’re welcome. Thanks for returning the favour and stopping by here 🙂
Looks like you got some fabulous books! If I Stay is definitely a story that sticks with you. I don’t like some of the content in her books, but I have still enjoyed each one of them. Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds ominous… but good too, Thanks for returning the favour and visiting my blog too 🙂
I must say I am a little jealous of you, Kate! Haha 🙂 I have never won a giveaway! (even though I enter hundreds)
I love the sound of The Inevitability of Stars, and just added it to my TBR 😀
I do feel pretty lucky 😀 I don’t win very many giveaways but I won another one last week too! I got three fabric samples from a craft magazine I subscribe too 😛 Not quite as exciting as a book but pretty good none the less!
You should feel lucky 😀 Congratulations! One of these days, I will win a giveaway, haha.
Fabrics are so pretty, though! 🙂
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! 😀
Thank you! 😀
I haven’t read any of these, but I really want to read If I Stay! Enjoy your lovely books! 🙂
I really enjoyed The Sky is Everywhere! And If I Stay was also amazing though it was the sequel I liked the most. Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my post!
