Stacking the Shelves #1


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly book event hosted by Tynga from Tynga's Reviews. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your bookshelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, audiobooks and of course ebooks.

For this week, I had received my paycheck early and thought of dropping by Fully Booked the Fort branch to buy some books.

Here are my hauls for this week:

Purchased from Fully Booked


Matched by Ally Condie

 


 The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern



The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner

Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins 


I picked up Matched and The Night Circus after reading the reviews from fellow book bloggers and Goodreads. The Thief was highly recommended by a friend who's been raving about this book for years so I finally caved in and bought it. I was supposed to buy Anna and the French Kiss but the book was out of stock so I picked up Lola and The Boy Next Door instead. For those who have read Stephanie Perkins before, is it okay if I start this book then read Anna and the French Kiss later? 

So what's the latest in your shelves this week?

  5. I've read all of these except The Thief. I'll have to look into that one.
    I would read Anna first. It's not essential, but she shows up in the second book so you know how the first book ends. You'll enjoy it more if you read that one first.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm a new follower!

  9. I really loved Matched. Not so much The Night Circus. But I am in the minority on that one, so I hope you enjoy it! Have a great reading week!
