Stacking the Shevles (12)

"Stacking the Shelves" is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews
I, once again, did not buy very much this past week. It's really this whole abroad thing. I don't have space to schlep lots of books home and I'm not all that interested in e-books. Unless they're on sale. And the book in question isn't one I would normally buy full price in print anyway. So here are the few on sale e-books I bought this past week!


1. Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi
I just started Shatter Me yesterday and I'm already 200 pages in. Imma need to read this one SOON.

2. Violins of Autumn by Amy McAuley
I love historical fiction. And, don't take this the wrong way, I love WWII. As in, I find it to be a really fascinating topic. I don't know as much about the British side of things (I know A LOT about the Holocaust, to be sure), but I'm always game to read any book set in this era.

3. Dirty Little Secrets by C.J. Omololu
HOARDERS? I want to read this please. And then I'll pass it to my friend who loves that TLC show.

4. The International Kissing Club by Ivy Adams
The title alone reminds me of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I don't think I actually finished that series, but I did enjoy what I read, so I'm exciiiited.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW




On Wednesday I told you guys how excited I am for Born of Illusion by Teri Brown to come out.

Thursday I said goodbye to The Goddess Test series by reviewing The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter.

And then on Friday, I cried about how complicated genres have become. There are many gifs involved.

That's it for my week. How did yours go? Let me know in the comments below!

    DEFINITELY take the time to dig it out on the Kindle. So worth it, even if I'm not always such a big fan of these novellas.

    Thanks for stopping by MaryAnn! :)

    Okay, I laughed out loud at the "don't take this the wrong way, I love WWII" because I LOVE books about WWII/Holocaust but never know how to say that without making it sound like I love the events themselves. Like, no y'all, I just like reading about them.

      I like LEARNING about the events and I like reading historical fiction about the time. It's hard to find the right way to express that, though. I went to Poland in senior year of high school on a school trip. When I got back people asked me how it was and I was like: "Fun! No. Uhm. Er. Wait. Scratch that - it was educational?" I don't know. How do you even talk about that stuff?
