Stacking The Shelves (22 ): July 2015: #Paperbackswap, #Bookoutlethaul,

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, 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 and of course ebooks! If you want to find out more about Stacking The Shelves, please visit the official launch page!

These are the books I'm talking about in the video:

I made a promise to myself that this year I would collect the authors that I love. Each month picking a different author's catalog and attempt to collect all the ones I have read and those I want to read.  This month I'm playing catch up, in June I ordered the following Linda Howard books to complete my collection, I believe I only have 5 more anthology titles to go and I will own all the books she's ever written and published.  

Paperbackswap Haul
I didn't pay for this, I had some credits I wanted to use up so I grabbed this for my shelves:

• A Mother's Touch by Linda Howard

Boston Author Event Haul:
 Julia Kent's Random Acts of Trust

Bookoutlet Haul

Omar Tyree:

* I'm returning these because they aren't the covers I'm looking to collect*

• Sweet St Louis
• A Do Right Man

Just Say No  *Keeping this one

From Brenda Jackson I got

• A Family Reunion
• Let's Get it on

Kimberla Lawson Roby's Novella
A Deep Dark Secret

A book I haven't hear much about but it's a Corretta Scott King Winner so I'm hoping it's interesting:
Mare's War Tanita S Davis

I picked up Shiloh Walker's other series 

• Deeper Than Need 
• Sweeter than Sin

Tina Reber's books were on the site, since I own them in ebook and really wanted them on the shelves I was happy to see this

• Love Unscripted
• Love Unrehearsed

Then my all time favorite books of the 2014 new adult category, well at least one of them was on the site and that was
True ( True Believers 1 )  by Erin McCarthy.  If they had had Sweet I might have died a little then revived just so I could order it.

I'm hoping they can resolve the issue with the Omar Tyree covers because I ordered the old covers on purpose.  I wasn't a happy camper about the wrong covers and yes while I know it's a first world problem if I"m spending my money?? It better be right.  ***When I wrote this post I was waiting to hear back form Bookoutlet, they have since sent a the correct copy of one book and credited me for the second.  I want to thank them for their speedy service in correcting the issue, I can't wait until my new book comes in***

And that's it, I'm sure there a few ebooks but that's work I don't even feel like doing right now.  What did y'all get this week??  Share your links and I will come on over. Lots of love and happy reading and haulin'

Book #Recommendation: Persephone Retelling | Bewitching Bibliophile

Hi my loves

This week I wanted to share my love of myths with you.  One of my favorite myths comes from Greece and it is the Persephone Myth.  I am a huge fan of the real story told and of course a few retellings because I loved to see what authors can do with the Classical myths.


Here are a few of my favorite Persephone Retellings:

The Goddess Test Series by Aimee Carter including:

• The Goddess Test
• The Goddess Interrupted
• The Goddess Inheritance

Goddess Summoning Series by PC Cast

• Goddess of Spring (Summoning )

The Goddessess Series  by Alicia Fields

• Love Underground (Goddesses 1)

TBR Pile ( Books I haven't read but have heard about) 

• The Goddess Legacy by Aimee Carter   (these are the novellas that I hadn't read while reading the series, but I want to read them now).
• Everneath  by Brodi Ashton  This is a series that I have heard about for several years and I really want to read them so bad.
• Metamorphoses by Ovid  The classical tale and I wish to read this.  

Have you read any of these?? Share in the comments any you have read and wish for me to add to my list.    I'm really looking for some adult and romance retellings, the only ones I have seen are from PC Cast, if you know of anymore share down below please.   Let me know if you have read any of these let's discuss below.

Happy Reading

Stacking the Shelves (17): Beginning of Post BEA Hauls

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, 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 and of course ebooks! If you want to find out more about Stacking The Shelves, please visit the official launch page!

Yeah Yeah I know this haul is what most people would say shouldn't be happening, however, two are pre-orders and the other is from a publishers, soooo... Let's get on with the haul:

Pre-Orders

Briar Queen (omgosh) yaaasssss. All the flails.  My most highly anticipated book of the year, and I'm scared to read it. Not because I don't think it will be awesome, because it will be a whole year before the next one comes out.  

Nowhere But Here, I mentioned before that if I pre-ordered then I would get Abby's story for FREE, so it's two books for the price of one. GIrl YAAAAAASSSSSSS.  I can't wait to dive into both of them, I can't leave a Katie book on my shelves for too long.  


From a Publisher

Giants in the Land, Cavern of Promise these are great books on faith and fortitude and I love reading and discussion them with my god children.  Before I can get into this one I gotta pick up the second book and my godson was asking about it the other day so that works. 

And that's it!!!

I'm done and I didn't really spend any money (because I already paid for the pre-orders lol )  I'm glad for the books I got and I can't wait to get into them.  

Have you gotten any new books this week??  Share down in the comments and I'll swing by and share as well.
