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)

NetGalley ARC Widgets Offered (and Taken):

• My Favorite Cowboy (Heart of Texas #3) by Donna Grant from St. Martin’s Paperbacks (St. Martin’s Press) — releases February 26th, 2019. This is the first publisher that offered me a book, so of course I said yes!

Kindle Unlimited:

• Jock Rule (Jock Hard #2) by Sara Ney. I loved the first one so I figured it’s a sure thing.
• Beneath His Stars (Stars Duet #1) by Amie Knight. This cover is fantastic and I really liked the blurb.
• Balls in Play Box Set (Balls in Play #1-3.5) by Kate Stewart.
• The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners by Amy Ramos.

Got It On Sale:

• Fighting Destiny (The Fae Chronicles #1) by Amelia Hutchins. I DNF’d this one, I did try but it was too rough to finish.
• Her Wicked Ways (Secrets & Scandals #1) by Darcy Burke. Great book if a bit slow, can’t beat free though.
• True Luck (True Love #1) by Anyta Sunday. I have almost all of her books.

Lenoreo’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• The Matchmaker’s List by Sonya Lalli from Berkley (Berkley Publishing Group) — releases January 22nd, 2019. This one just sounded intriguing, but as I was adding it to Goodreads I noticed that the author is a fellow Saskatchewanian! Cool!

ARCs From Authors/PR Companies:

• Hoops Holiday (A Hoops novella) by Kennedy Ryan from Social Butterfly PR — releases December 17th, 2018.  My review will be coming December 19th!
• Overnight Sensation (Brooklyn Bruisers #5) by Sarina Bowen from Nina Bocci PR — releases January 22nd, 2019.  I’m SO EXCITED to read this one!  I normally wait until closer to release, but I’m not sure I’ll make it with this one.
• Going Down (Romance for all Seasons #4) by Sandra Marie — releases January 1st, 2019.

New Releases:

• The Mask Series Box Set (The Masks #1-4) by Melissa Pearl — released December 8th, 2018.  I haven’t read this series yet, but I couldn’t resist a box set for just $3.99!  Still on sale!
• My Christmas Break Mistake by Anne-Marie Meyer — released December 9th, 2018.  As with the previous 5 weeks, this is the final of 6 YA Christmas novellas being released, where each one will be free for one day! No longer free, but only 99 cents!

Newsletter Freebies:

• Destination Wedding Date (Paradise Island #1) by Evie Jordan — I got this one from Jolene Perry’s newsletter, as I believe this is a new pen name for her for sweet romances. Sounds adorable!

Got It On Sale:

• Stranded on the Beach (Holiday Acres #1) by Noelle Adams — I actually just recently read the second book in this series in a Christmas anthology and really enjoyed it, so I went looking for the rest of the series. And when I saw this one was just 99 cents, I snagged it!
  Still on sale.
• The Trouble with Love (Sex, Love & Stiletto #4) by Lauren Layne — I read a NetGalley ARC of this one and really enjoyed it, so when I saw it on BookBub on sale for $1.99 from its usual $4.99, I one-clicked!  Still on sale.
• Licks (One Wild Wish #3) by Kelly Siskind — I actually have a NetGalley ARC of this that I fell behind on, but I follow this author on eReaderIQ, so when I got an alert that it was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $3.99, I nabbed it.  Still on sale!
• Getting Naughty…and Nice: Naughty & Nice in Sapphire Falls (Sapphire Falls #3.5, 3.6, 3.75) by Erin Nicholas — I’ve enjoyed books by this author in the past, so when I saw this bundle on BookBub for free, I snagged it! Still free.
• Ruthless Magic (Conspiracy of Magic #1) by Megan Crewe — Another NetGalley ARC that I fell behind on. So when I saw it on BookBub, on sale for 99 cents from its usual $4.99, I nabbed it.  Still on sale!
• Tarnished Crown (The Royals #3.5) by Erin Watt — I’m sure this was out a while ago, maybe as a newsletter freebie? But I saw it in Elle Kennedy’s newsletter as free on Amazon, so I snagged it. If it’s not free for you, wait and it will be.
• Fury Frayed (Of Fates and Furies #1) by Melissa Haag — I think this series just completed, and so Ms. Haag mentioned in her newsletter that the first book is free, so I thought I’d take advantage!
