Memes

Stacking the Shelves (1)

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme, hosted by Tynga at Tynga’s Reviews, where bloggers can share the books and bookish items that we’ve bought, borrowed, or received each week.

This StS is for the past two weeks.


Purchased
Hourglass by Myra McEntire
Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Goodies
I got some swag for joining Team Amity.  Thanks to Kassiah @ The Fictionators and Lisa @ A Life Bound by Books, plus all the other awesome Team Amity members!

I read Hourglass last year, but I borrowed it from a friend so I’m excited to have my own copy so that I can reread it and review it before I read Timepiece.  And I’m rereading Divergent right now, so I’ll be reading Insurgent soon!

What did you guys get this week?  Let me know, or leave a link to your StS post (or IMM or any other alternative) in the comments and I’ll stop by your blog!

      Ooh, thanks for leaving that link – I've been meaning to nominate my book boyfriend on your blog – I've had it saved on my Google reader forever now and I'm so behind that I haven't gotten to it yet. But I'm going to do it now! ;)

    I really enjoyed HOURGLASS too! I can't wait for the sequel, TIMEPIECE, to be out. Of course, everyone seems to have INSURGENT on their Stacking the Shelves this week. I haven't read it yet… I hope it's as good as the first one.

      Hourglass is great! And I just got Timepiece from NetGalley – it was a Read Now title, and it might still be! I'm really excited about Insurgent, too. Thanks so much for stopping by!

      Yeah, you should totally participate! They're a lot of fun, and a great way to meet other bloggers! Hourglass is so good and Timepiece is a Read Now title on NetGalley, or at least it was a couple weeks ago. Thanks for stopping by!

    OMG! I found another blogger named Andrea! Do you live in the US? If you do, I have a signed copy of Soul Screamers Vol. 1 made out to "Andrea" and obviously my name isn't Andrea. Andrea from Bookish Babes sent it to me because she had 2. Let me know if you are in the US and then email me your addy and I'll send it to you.

      Hale from Heist Society, Cricket from Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Four from Divergent are my current book boyfriends! ;)

      Hope you had a great Mother's Day, too!

    I've wanted to read Hourglass for a long time, just haven't had the chance yet…but truthfully, I want that book just to have such a stunning cover on my shelf! And I really need to get around to reading Divergent soon, I feel like I'm missing out on such a huge chunk of YA. Small mailbox, but a great one!

      Hourglass has such a beautiful cover, doesn't it? I really enjoyed it, and can't wait to read Timepiece! And you should totally read Divergent, especially if you enjoy dystopians! Thanks so much for stopping by – I'm off to check out your mailbox!

    Hourglass is still one of my favorite covers! And I'm so glad I finally read Divergent!

    1. Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcase

      May 14, 2012 at 10:07 pm

      I know – I love the covers for both Hourglass and Timepiece! They're so cool! I'm glad you finally read Divergent, too! I just started Insurgent and I'm loving it!

    YAY for Insurgent and all of that swag! When I re-read Divergent, I loved it just as much as I did the first time!

      I just finished my reread of Divergent, and it was great! I'll be posting my review soon! And I just started Insurgent and I'm loving it! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Whew! I'm finally catching up on my blog reading after being away several weekends in a row. I've missed your blog! I hope you're enjoying Divergent! I'll be finishing my review of Insurgent (hopefully tomorrow), and I'll look forward to comparing notes!
