Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted byTyngaReviews.com and is a book haul post to show off everything you purchased or received for review.
The Crown of Embers by Rae Carson
Dearly, Beloved by Lia Habel
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I only got three books this week? Wow. This must be a record. I mentioned The Crown of Embers in my Monday post. It’s the second book in the Fire and Thorns series. I’ve already finished it. The review is scheduled to come out in October.
Dearly, Beloved is the second book in the Gone with the Respiration series. The first book is called Dearly, Departed. I just reviewed that this week. I’m really looking forward to reading the further adventures of Bram and Nora.
I pre-ordered The Raven Boys and I also got it in hardcover. I think the cover is really kickass. It’s about a girl who can talk to the spirits of the dead. She gets involved with these private school boys who are called the Raven Boys. I think it sounds good. What I really love is the cover. So much for never judge a book by its cover!
So that’s all I got this week! Maybe I’ll shop around more next week!

I haven’t read anything by Maggie S. but I saw her speak at the National Book Festival and, I know this sounds cheesy, she was delightful. So very cool and fun and real. Makes me want to read something by her. I once started Shiver and after a couple of chapters put it down. Maybe the Raven Boys could be a good one. Love the synopsis and the cover.
Oh! The National Book Festival! That sounds like so much fun! Well, I’ll let you know how the Raven Boys turns out.
