Stacking the Shelves (6)

Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews to let bloggers share books they've added to their shelves weekly. 

November 19 to 25, 2012

I didn't have Stacking the Shelves posts in the past two weeks because I didn't buy anything! Yay! But for this week and next week, a bookstore near my uni is having a sale on selected titles. Usually these selected titles don't really catch my eyes but the new price tags just beg to be noticed, so I came home with a few.

Bought:
The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh
Shooting Kabul by N.H. Senzai
The Call of the Wild by Jack London
This Will Change Everything: Ideas That Will Shape the Future
On The Tip Of My Tongue: Questions, Facts, Curiosities And Games Of A Quizzical Nature
Words Gone Wild: Fun and Games for Language Lovers by Jim Bernhard




ARC:
The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan

November has been a very busy month for me, so that's why I haven't been posting as regularly as I wanted to. On a positive note, I finished the whole Iron Fey series up to date! My review on The Lost Prince will be coming up soon. :-) In the meantime, read my other Iron Fey reviews!

October 28 to November 3, 2012

Uni has started and I've been distracted, so I almost didn't buy any books this week! I did, though, buy only one! ONLY ONE! Hooray for self-control! And I also got one book for review. :-)

• Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer by Roy Peter Clark
• HOOKED by Liz Fichera (eARC)

I've wanted to read Writing Tools for sometime now, and as I'm taking English Composition I this semester, this is the right time to read it! 

As for HOOKED, you might wonder why I got it now. It's not open to request on NetGalley yet, but I got an invite because I won Liz Fichera's contest, so I get this ARC early. Thanks, Liz! :-)

This week on the blog I posted two reviews:

• The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
• A Thunderous Whisper by Christina Diaz Gonzalez 

So that's it for me this week. Back to studying literature. :-)

Week 3: October 14 to 20, 2012

Since Thailand's second annual book expo started this week on October 18, I had a lot of new members to welcome to the family. I went two times already: on the 18th and today. And in three days I've taken in 9 fictions, 3 non-fictions (one is borrowed from one of my teachers), and 4 dictionaries. I also got accepted for 2 ARCs this week. Yay!

Fictions and Fairy Tales:

• Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm
• Andersen's Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen
• English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs
• Peter Pan & Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (Wordsworth Classics) by J.M. Barrie
  I don't know what came over me lately. I just want to read a lot of fairy tales.
• Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
• The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
  I've actually read this before and loved it so much that every time I come across a pretty edition I have to buy it.
• A Series of Unfortunate Events 2, 3, and 5 by Lemony Snicket in Thai translation
  My collection is now complete!

Non-fictions:

• Deutschlandalbum by Axel Hacke
  My teacher Ingo told me I might enjoy this. A German book about Germany. Sounds good. 
• What Not To Write by Kay Sayce 
• On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
  Because my hardcover isn't very suited for carrying around. 

ARCs:

• Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
• Uses for Boys by Erica Lorraine Scheidt

This week I finished reading: 

• Summer of the Mariposas by Guadalupe Garcia McCall (review) 

I'm currently reading: 

• The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
  I was accepted for The Lost Prince ARC, so I had to read the whole Iron Fey series first! So far so good. :)

Week1: October 1 to 6, 2012

Yay! This is my first Stacking the Shelves post! Actually I've had 15 In My Mailbox posts on my blog and then got too lazy to continue for like 5 months. All the books acquired during that time are sad now because they aren't featured on the blog. Aw, it's okay, books. I'll make sure you get the spotlights weekly from now on, okay? Here we go.

This week I welcome three new members to the family shelves! 

• An Abundance of Katherines by John Green (Goodreads | Amazon | Bookdepository)

The last of my John Green collection! I planned to have a John Green readathon sometime this month. :-) I have never read any of his books yet, and I really can't wait to read them all! 

• The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen (Goodreads | Amazon | Bookdepository)

I really like Sarah Dessen. I've read Dreamland and Just Listen and was impressed by both of them. So why not try her highest rated work? ;) Plus, I love the title! 

• Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (Goodreads | Amazon | Bookdepository)

I marked this book as to read since October last year, and I couldn't be a worse procrastinator. I adore David Mitchell's writing in number9dream and can't wait to get started on this! And the movie's coming out at the end of the month! With Tom Hanks in it! Big deal! I love Tom Hanks so unconditionally and endlessly. 

So, this is it. My first post, yay! Thank you for stopping by and leave the links to your posts in the comments. I'll check them out. 

See you soon!
