Stacking The Shelves #19

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and here you can find all the books I've recently received that I'm stacking my shelves with!

Bought:

 

Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

 

For Review:

 

Shadowhunters and Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments Reader by  Cassandra Clare, Holly Black, Kendare Blake, Gwenda Bond, Sarah Rees Brennan, Rachel Caine, Sarah Cross, Kami Garcia, Michelle Hodkin, Kelly Link, Kate Milford, Diana Peterfreund, Sara Ryan, Scott Tracey, and Robin Wasserman

I've been wanting to read Such a Rush for so long but I wasn't sure if I would like it so I never bought it but then I saw that it was in paperback so I just had to have it. I also really want to read The Darkest Minds because a) the title sounds awesome and b) I want to know what the symbol on the cover means. I'm also a TMI fan (but I prefer TID to TMI) so when I saw the Shadowhunters and Downworlders book on netgalley I just had to request it. As much as I love TMI I'm beginning to think that all this shadowhunter stuff is a little overkill. I mean shadowhunters are awesome but the more overdone it gets the less awesome it becomes.

Feature & Follow #23

Feature and Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee & Alison Can Read. The purpose is to meet new people and gain more followers in the book blogging community.

Q: What New Years Blogging or Writing resolution have you placed on yourself? 

A: This year I want to use the library more and borrow from my friends instead of buying the books. I also want to try to gain 500 followers by the end of the year and try to post other bookish things besides reviews and memes. And redesign my blog because I feel like this one is really messy and cluttered so hopefully I'll get that done this year. I also want to finish the story I'm working on and maybe after I'm editing it I will share it on Goodreads but that's only if I think its good enough.

What about you?

Please follow and leave a link to your post so I can follow back!

Waiting on Wednesday #25

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly Meme. It's hosted on Breaking the Spine. It spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick:

Just one Day
by Gayle Forman
Release date: January 8th 2013

A breathtaking journey toward self-discovery and true love, from the author of If I Stay
When sheltered American good girl Allyson "LuLu" Healey first meets laid-back Dutch actor Willem De Ruiter at an underground performance of Twelfth Night in England, there’s an undeniable spark. After just one day together, that spark bursts into a flame, or so it seems to Allyson, until the following morning, when she wakes up after a whirlwind day in Paris to discover that Willem has left. Over the next year, Allyson embarks on a journey to come to terms with the narrow confines of her life, and through Shakespeare, travel, and a quest for her almost-true-love, to break free of those confines.

Just One Day is the first in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels. Willem’s story—Just One Year—is coming soon!
