Hi gorgeous people!  Very busy week, I'm glad is over :)  I didn't posted my STS last week, so this is two weeks worth of books.

Purchased (or Free) for Kindle

How Beauty Saved the Beast by Jax Garren - This is an adult title, book two of the Tales of the Underlight series.  I really enjoyed book one and I can't wait to read this one. 

Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout (as L. Lyyn) - I'm probably the only blogger that has yet to read a book by this author (put the tomatoes down people!)  I know, I know, I plan to remedy that soon.  I do own Obsidian and Cursed! 

A Man for the Summer by Ruby Laska - I can't honestly remember how I found out about this book, but it does sound like a good romance ;)

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta - I've only heard amazing things about this book, and I plan to find out why.

Tribulation by Phillip W. Simpson - I just finished reading Rapture, book one of this series and I need to find out what happens next.

Friends & Foes by Sarah M. Eden - This is a historical regency romance (which I love) and it has great reviews. Oh, and the cover calls to me...

Purchased (Physical Books)

Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger - I wanted to read this book since I fist saw this cover months ago!

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green - My goal is to read all of John Green's books - after The Fault in Our Stars, I'm a fan for life.

Library

Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan - I've heard wonderful things about this book.  Have you read it?

A Beautiful Evil by Kelly Keaton - I enjoyed Darkness Becomes Her, book one of the series, I'm long overdue to read book #2.

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - Well, my fellow bloggers insist that I must read this book and I aim to please ;)

For Review 

The Girl with the Iron Touch by Kady Cross - Although I haven't read the second book of the series, I did love The Girl in the Steel Corset, and I plan to catch up on this series. Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin Teen.

The Collector by Victoria Scott - I cannot wait to read this one!!! I'm SO exited for this blog tour hosted by YA Bound.  Thanks!

Not Book Related

I've been struggling with carpal tunnel syndrome for a while, so I decided to try an ergonomic keyboard and mouse, both at home (pictured) and at work. It makes a world of difference!

I got a new phone last week!  Let me introduce you to the Gallaxy S III, we are currently in the 'dating' phase, that is, getting to know each other.  So far, so good :)

That's it for me!  What is stacking your shelves this wee?  Have you read any of these?  Which one should I read first?

Remember last week I said I was NOT buying any books to save for BEA?  Well, I didn't spend a lot (many good deals in Amazon) and I received amazing books for review this week.

Library

Perception by Kim Harrington - Perception is book number two in the Clarity series and I love book one.  Can't wait to see what will happen in this one!

Purchased (or free) for Kindle 

I saw a tweet advertizing these amazing romances for $1.99 and I couldn't resist but getting at least two :)


My Irresistible Earl by Gaelen Foley 

I Love the Earl by Caroline Linden

                           


Peter and the Vampires  by Darren Pillsbury - This book has amazing reviews in Amazon and it sound different and very interesting.

On Little Wings by Regina Sirois - Don't you love this cover?  Is adorable, let you know if you read it.

Kristin Cashore eSampler by Kristin Cashore - I've read Graceling and Fire and, of course, I cannot wait for Bitterblue.  This sampler has exclusive content, from Kristin's blog: "plus an extra thingamajig: some (silly!) letters that Bitterblue, Katsa, Raffin, Bann, and Po wrote to each other during the spring before Bitterblue's 18th birthday (in other words, in the spring before the events of Bitterblue take place)."

For Review

Yesterday by C.K. Kelly Martin - This promises to be an amazing addition to dystopian books everywhere.

Shadowfell by Juliet Marillier - This appears to be a fey related fantasy and it sounds truly amazing, can't wait to read it!

Velveteen by Daniel Marks - Look at this cover!  Pretty awesome, right? And the premises of the book are great too, I'm curious to read a book where the main character is already dead :(

Flutter by Gina Linko - Flutter sounds like a great read, it has to do with time travel and there is a mystery involved too.

Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan - An imaginary friend turned real boy, sound like a fairy tale :)

Thank you to Random House and Konopf Books for approving these books for me in NetGalley!

Won (for review) from Goodreads

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins - Angels and demons are right up my alley, I love this type of book and the gorgeous cover doesn't hurt either.

Wrecked by Anna Davis - Another amazing cover and the book sound mysterious and full of awesomeness!


Thank you to Harper Collins and Simon & Schuster for these ARCs!

Top Ten Books That Have Been in My Bookshelf for a While

Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

You have no idea how many books I have sitting in by bookshelf or downloaded to my Kindle that I haven't read, YET. It is actually hard to narrow down what to put in this list, I am shamelessly behind in so many series (that I have not yet started or not continued). Here is my list *the shame*

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick – I loved Hush, Hush and I was eagerly awaiting the sequel, and then I started reading it and by chapter two I was so mad that I stopped and I haven’t picked it up again.  I know I have to, otherwise I will never know what happened and I can’t read Silence.

Torment by Lauren Kate – I enjoyed Fallen and it was sort of a cliffhanger for me.  I’ve had Torment in my Kindle for months, but haven’t read it yet.

Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl – The sequel to Beautiful Darkness has been in my Kindle for ages too.

What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen – Sarah Dessen is hands down one of my favorite authors ever.  I know I will love this novel, just like I love anything else she writes, I just need to find time to read it (if only the days were longer!)

Nevermore by Kelly Creagh – I have only heard good things about this novel and the sequel will be out soon, maybe I’ll be able to read it before then (*crossing fingers*).

Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles – Perfect Chemistry is one of my favorite books and now the series is over and I am two books behind!

The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Ress Brennan – This is another book I’ve had for forever anClockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare – Oh the shame!  I LOVE the Mortal Instruments series (although I still haven’t read City of Fallen Angels either, I know, I know).  I can’t imagine why I haven’t read this one.

d not read.

Halo by Alexandra Adornetto – I am actually eager to get to this book, the cover is so beautiful and I do love angel books.

Where She Went by Gayle Forman – The sequel to If I Stay can’t help to be anything but wonderful.  I will read this one soon.
