Stacking The Shelves is feature/weekly meme created by Tynga’s Reviews in which you share the books you are adding to your shelves, both physical and virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical stores or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Curly Carla’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

Kindle Unlimited:

• The Player and the Pixie (Rugby #2) by L.H. Cosway & Penny Reid.  I love this series. 
• The Bad Guy: A Dark Romance  by Celia Aaron. This author will be at Book Bonanza so I wanted to check out a book by her.
• A Kingdom of Exiles (Outcast #1) by S.B. Nova.  I’m liking it so far.

Audible Romance Package:

• The Player and the Pixie (Rugby #2) by L.H. Cosway & Penny Reid, narrated by George Allan & K.C. Sheridan.
• Laiden’s Daughter (Clan MacDougall #1) by Suzan Tisdale, narrated by Erin Jones.

Got It On Sale:

• Dirty London by Kelley York.  It was free and still is I think. F/F romance.
• Happily Ever Summer: A Contemporary Cinderella Retelling (Happily Ever #1) by Carly Morgan.  I love fairy tale retellings and I’m a fan of this author so this was a no brainer. It’s not on sale anymore but it is available on KU.

Lenoreo’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• #Moonstruck (#Lovestruck #2) by Sariah Wilson from Montlake Romance — releases July 17th, 2018.
• Bishop (Arizona Vengeance #1) by Sawyer Bennett from Loveswept (Random House Publishing Group – Loveswept) — releases August 14th, 2018.
• Playing Her Secret Crush by Casey Griffin from Entangled: Crush (Entangled Publishing, LLC) — releases July 2nd, 2018.

Borrowed From The Library:

• The Fortunate Ones by R.S. Grey, narrated by Brittany Pressley — I’ve really been enjoying listening to Ms. Grey’s books on audio, so when I saw this one on Hoopla, I borrowed it!  Figured I might as well get as many of her books in before Book Bonanza as I can.  I enjoyed it, review coming soon!

Newsletter Freebies:

• The Weight of Life (Love in London #1) by Whitney Barbetti — I scored this one from Penny Reid’s newsletter (sign up here)!  And bonus, I’ve never read this author, but she’s going to be at Book Bonanza, so hopefully I enjoy it!

Audible Romance Package:

• Anything You Can Do by R.S. Grey, narrated by Kimberly Roelle & Joshua Kumler — So Curly Carla recently signed up for the Audible Romance Package and was loving all the selection.  So last night I took a look at what authors participate that I love to read, and there were enough (especially those coming up for Book Bonanza), that I couldn’t resist at least trying out the free trial.  And honestly, with as expensive as audiobooks can be, $14.95/month for unlimited listening (I mean, you can only have 10 at a time, but I only listen to one at a time) really seems like a steal to me.  So this was my first borrow — just started it this morning!

Audiobooks:

• The Gravity of Us (Elements #4) by Brittainy C. Cherry, narrated by Erin Mallon & Brian Pallino — Since I’ve been enjoying audiobooks so much, I decided to look at the books I own and need to read before Book Bonanza and see if any of them have the whole “add on the audio for only $1.99” thing (and whose audiobook samples suggest I won’t mind the narrators).  And this was one of them!  Course, this happened before I signed up for the Audible Romance Package, but oh well.
• Loving Mr. Daniels by Brittainy C. Cherry, narrated by Vikas Adam & Jennifer Stark — Samesies for this one!  I have a lot to read/listen to in the next few weeks!

Got It On Sale:

• Miss Fix-It by Emma Hart — I think I wishlisted this one because of a review from a few bloggers I follow.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $4.99, I one-clicked!  Still on sale!
• Just a Girl by Ellie Cahill — I read a NetGalley copy of this when it released in 2016 and really enjoyed it (see my review here), so when I saw it on BookBub on sale for 99 cents from its usual $4.99, I snagged it!  Still on sale!
• Behind the Stars (Behind the Stars #1-6) by Leigh Talbert Moore — Curly Carla has highly recommended this series (see her review here), and posted on our Facebook page that the entire series was free (it’s usually $4.99-ish) — so I grabbed it!  Still free!
