manda-rae's Haul

Stacking the Shelves consists of books we received in the last week, hosted by Tynga's reviews.

It's been three weeks since I've done one of these.  And oh boy, have I been reading lots.  Lots of good books out there.  Happy Saturday!

From the Library:

  • Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich
  • Omens by Kelley Armstrong
    • Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads
      • I was super excited to see a new series starting up.  I didn't realize how big this book was until I picked it up from the library.  Regardless, I'll probably finish it before the weekend's over.

Purchased:

  • Nook HD
      • I upgraded from my Nook Simple Touch to a Nook HD.  I found it online for a good price and figured why not.  I'm really enjoying the tablet feel of it and being able to open other apps.  We'll see how much reading I do with this thing.

Purchased (e-edition):

Never to Sleep by Rachel Vincent
Amazon | Goodreads
I decided to check out some short novellas by some of my new favorite authors.  I really enjoy the Soul Screamers series.

Reaper by Rachel Vincent
Amazon | Goodreads
Can't get enough of Tod.

My Soul to Lose by Rachel Vincent
Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads
I can back up and see where it all started.

Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi
Amazon | Goodreads
This one's from Warner's point of view.  I kind of want to know more...

Waterfall by Lisa T Bergren
Amazon | Goodreads
I picked up this freebie because it involves time travel.

Shadows by Jennifer L Armentrout
Amazon | Goodreads
I've heard a lot of people talk about the Lux series.  Is it really that good?  I thought I'd look at the pre-novella and check it out.

Vampire Shift by Tim O'Rourke
Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads
Let's face it: the cover's awesome.  And it's vampires.  I'm sold.

925 Ideas to Help Save Money, Get Out of Debt and Retire a Millionaire so You CanLeave Your Mark on the World by Devin D Thorpe
Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads
These are kind of short essays on how to manage your money and save for your future.  It's nice to pick up and read for five minutes at a time.  Not sure it's given me a lot of ideas yet though (as you can see with my library haul, I tend to be a frugal person).

The Blood that Bonds by Christopher Buecheler
Amazon | Book Depository | Goodreads
If it were just me, I don't think I'd pick this one up.  The cover isn't appealing for me.  But someone recommended it for me.  Can't say I'm going to read it right away, but I'll try it one day.

  1. I still haven't read any Janet Evanovich, but I keep meaning too. Maybe sometime when my TBR pile isn't so big. Very exciting to get a new Nook :) I hope you enjoy all your books!

  2. Very nice haul indeed. I do like the cover for your Tablet. Tablets are awesome to have. Good stack of books that you got this week. Omens looks good. My bookstore never has Omens in.
