Stacking the Shelves is a feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's a way for us to share the books we got during the week.
Vlog:
Mentioned in the vlog:
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater - I have been hearing such good things about and I'm a fan of Maggie's previous books so I'm looking forward to this
Heart Broken and Horny - I received these zines from the author after finding out about them via Danielle. I noticed that the author is vegan and it sounds like mature YA so I can't wait to read these
I also received a very cute post card from Chachic! The card is adorable - thank you!
I went to the library to get the rest of the Iron Fey series and found 2 of them, The Iron Daughter and The Iron Knight. And then I also grabbed a few more: Finding Freia Lockhart by Aimee Said, Mostly Good Girls by Leila Sales and When It Happens by Susane Colasanti.
They were also selling some slightly damaged books so I picked up 3 for $3: Sweetly by Jackson Pearce and I was able to add to my Georgia Nicholson series picking up Startled by His Furry Shorts and Luuurve is a Many Trousered Thing by Louise Rennison

This is a great list. I'm going to be reading The Raven Boys this month and I'm on the waiting list for the first book in the Iron Fey series. I can't wait.
I have heard good things about Sweetly as well. I'm looking forward to your reviews.
Very excited for The Raven Boys. Heart Broken and Horney sounds funny and like me LOL Love the Iron Fey series. Happy reading!
My Stack
So jealous you got The Raven Boys. I've been wanting to read it but lately, I've heard some negative reviews about it so it dropped from the top of my must-buy list. Hope you like it though. Happy reading!
Awesome books! I really need to pick up a copy of The Raven Boys soon! I've heard some great things! :)
YES THE RAVEN BOYS! I loved it, although not as much as The Scorpio Races, but hopefully my review will go up for it this week and you can see just how awesome I thought it was. I hope you enjoy it, Mandee! I haven't heard of ANY of your library books, but they all look awesome. I wasn't a big fan of The Iron Fey Series, but I hope you like it, and I still have to start the Georgia Nicholson Series. It sounds soo cute and adorable, so I hope I can pick up a copy and start soon!(: Fantastic haul this week, Mandee! I hope you enjoy all your incredible new novels! :D
Yay! I hope you like H&H :)
I promised myself I wouldn't read the Raven Boys because I am not a huge fan of the author, but I am so tempted to throw in the towel and do it. I'll had to wait and see though what blogs I trust (like you)think.
Really fantastic books this week. Those zines certainly sound interesting. YAY for library booksales with amazing books! Happy Reading!
I just finished The Iron King like... hmm maybe 10 hours ago? & loved it!! This is the first fae book/series I've thoroughly loved. I hope you enjoy The Raven Boys. I'm not a big fan of male POVs but you're right, a lot of good things have been said about it.
I'm super curious about the Heartbroken and Horny!! (Maybe because I just read super spicey read and now I'm curious! LOL!)
-Jac @ For Love and Books
The Raven Boys is the next book on my to-read pile so I can't wait to read it. I hope you enjoy Sweetly . . . such an awesome book!
Iron Fey <3 <3 The Iron Daughter was my favourite book in the whole serie <3 <3 I really hope you'll love it as much as I did and still do :P Great haul! I hope you'll like them all! :) ;) Enjoy!
Great haul!! YAY for The Raven Boys, I adored that book, the characters really are awesome! I hope you enjoy all these wonderful books and I look forward to your reviews! :)
haven't heard of sweetly, but it looks nice. New Follower. Here's Mine
I want to read Sweetly but after Sisters Red (which is ok but I was convinced I was going to love) I've been holding back a bit. I hope it's good though and Georgia Nicholson rocks!
PS, really sorry for not stopping by last week (thanks for all your comments btw) but been having arguments with Internet Explorer for the last few days. Now and Firefox and wondering why I didn't do that before...
Oh I loved The Raven Boys. It's one of my favourite books of the year, so I hope you enjoy it. Great haul, Mandee! :)
H&H sounds SO intriguing! I must find out more about it and stat! Lila Sales is lovely. I read Past Perfect last year and really enjoyed it, I can't wait to read Mostly Good Girls! I watching Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging last night (I love that movie. Robbie is sa-woony ;) and now I feel like continuing the series. I've read up to #2 and after reliving the movie fun, am looking forward to continuing Georgia's teen, drama filled journey.
Epic book haul! Have fun reading :D
The Raven Boys. Jealous.
Ooh and Julia Kagawa and Rennison books. You have had a lucky week.
Enjoy all your haul.
Looks like you attacked your library! :) I keep telling everyone how much I need to read the Iron Fey books but I just can't seem to get my hands on them! :)
Some great books in your haul this week Mandee! I love it when you go to the library not really expecting much but leaving with some great gems. I'm sure you're going to have fun reading When it Happens and Mostly Good Girls. I haven't read these two books but other books by these authors and really enjoyed them. Also Finding Freia Lockhart sounds awesome I think I will have to add it to my tbr! Hope you enjoy all your books! :)
Jackson Pearce is so funny! I have wanted to read this, too. And RAVEN BOYS. I am so excited to get to it myself!
Thanks for stopping by our blog :-)
Great haul! I'm very curious about Heartbriken and Horny. I love the Iron Fey series and Jackson Pearce. Hope you enjoy all the lovelies!
Awesome books this week! I'm seriously thinking about buying the Raven Boys this week but it sounds so awesome! I heard you and another person say how great the Georgia Nicolson series is so I bought the first one a few weeks ago! Thanks for visiting Elegantly Bound Books!
Crystal @ Elegantly Bound Books
Great haul & vlog and I hope you enjoy your goodies! The Raven Boys and Sweetly look really good! I look forward to your opinions of all. :)
I just finished The Raven Boys and was surprised how much I LOVED the characters, the story was a little slow though. Great haul this week, your library has quite the selection!
Great books this week, Mandee! I always end up leaving the library with a stack of books instead of just the one or two that I originally went for. I still need to get caught up with the rest of the Iron Fey series; I've only read The Iron King so far. Enjoy all of your books!
Okay, I freaking LOVE LOVE Louise Rennison. Her books are HILARIOUS and awesome. And Mostly Good Girls - LOVE IT. I love Leila Sales too! Oh man, you are making me want to reread like crazy. I'm intrigued by Finding Freia Lockhart - I'm off to check it out! Hope you enjoy :)
Tara @ Hobbitsies
Okay, those Heartbroken & Horny zines sound so mysterious. Please review them! Also, the "slightly damaged" books don't look damaged at all. I hope they are just near perfect for you:)
I kind of cracked up at your vegan detective work. Can you tell I love bacon by the way I am typing this sentence? Probably.
Ooh, I got Finding Freia Lockhart a while ago during a Fishpond spree so let me know when you read it. :) Your library books are in such good condition. The paperbacks in my library look like they've been chewed on by dogs.
I was totally interested in the zines after Danielle's review too. Can't wait to see your review! Another great StS.
What a great book week. I really enjoyed your vlog. I'm excited to hear more about Heart Broken and Horny. I had never heard of those before. Thanks for stopping by my STS:)
A wonderful haul this week! I can't wait to read The Raven Boys & I adore The Iron Fey series.
Happy reading!
My Haul
The Raven Boys!! I NEED to get my hands on that soon. I'll have a look around for it next time I go out. I love me some Maggie Stiefvater and this offering of hers sounds just as amazing as any other! Excited to read your thoughts.
Yay for more Iron Fey books! I also hope you enjoy Sweetly. I have Sisters Red by Jackson to read, which I hope to get to soon...ish.
You are so cute and I love your top (maybe it's a dress?). Curious what you think of your Colasanti book. I have had one of her older ones on my Nook for quite awhile and I haven't read it yet. I do like that her recent book is about her own experience with bullying.
Hope you have an awesome week! It was so nice to hear your voice. :)
Heart broken and horny? OK, this sounds HILARIOUS.
As for The Raven Boys? Oh my goodness I LOVE Maggie. SO much. I can't wait to see what you thinkg ♥
And oooooh! I just started reading the Iron Fey books this week! Harlequin TEEN actually has a deal on at the moment where you can buy th eBooks for $2.99 each. Let me know if you want the coupon code? ♥
LOL!! Why was the first thing I see is Heart broken and Horny....twice! lol!! Naughty eyes!
OOO I really loved The Raven Boys can't wait to hear what you think!
Lovely load of books!!
Have fun with them!
