Stacking the Shelves (82)


Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where bloggers share what they got throughout the week!

For Review

Only one book in the mail for me! I've read a couple of VC Andrews books before and enjoyed them. This one is one of her old ones (published in 1979) but they're republishing it for the release of the new movie based off of the book. I've heard this is a great one, so I'm excited for the chance to read it!

From Half Price Books

Half Price Books was having their 20% after Christmas sale and, being the book buying addict I am, I had to go. But I did very well and only got one book! That ended up being $1.20! I've wanted to read Franny and Zooey for the longest time, and now I own my very own copy! 

From the library

I know I don't need any more books to read, but I just couldn't help getting some books from the library. It was so sad hearing that Ned Vizzini passed away recently, and I never actually got around to reading his book. So I decided to check it out from the library and try to read it because I've heard it's a fantastic story. Then, Eloisa James is one of my favorite historical romance authors, and she has a memoir about moving to Paris. I can't wait to get a peek into her life in such a magical city!



That's it for me! What did you all add to your shelves this week?

  13. I loved Catcher in the Rye sooo much. So I know I would love Franny and Zooey. I think the first story was about depression and I wasn't really in the mood for it so I never went back to reading it. I need to pick it up again soon!

  21. Wow, it's been a long time since I read Flowers In The Attic, might have to see if I've still got my copy and have a re-read! I'm intrigued to see the new version of the film they've made.

  22. That's a really lovely cover for Flowers in the Attic. I really enjoyed the old movie when I was a kid, and I enjoyed the book when I read it. I hadn't heard that there was a new movie coming out and now I'm really excited! I've been wanting to read It's Kind of a Funny Story for so long now, was so sad to hear about the author. I hope you enjoy all your books :) My STS.
