Stacking The Shelves is feature/weekly meme created by Tynga’s Reviews (and co-hosted by Reading Reality) 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!

Lenoreo’s Haul

(All Ebooks unless otherwise specified)

NetGalley ARC Requests Approved:

• I Hate You, Fuller James by Kelly Anne Blount from Entangled: Crush (Entangled Publishing, LLC) — releases March 2nd, 2020.
• Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown from Entangled: Lovestruck (Entangled Publishing, LLC) — releases March 16th, 2020.  Two types of diversity??  What what!!

Preorders That Went Live:

• Magic Bound (Ravencrest Academy #1) by Theresa Kay — released February 21st, 2020.  Curly Carla and I both beta read this one!!  And we both failed at reviewing.  *rolls eyes*

New Releases:

• Epic (Him #2.5) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy — released February 9th, 2020.  This was originally in a Christmas anthology, and I read it and loved it.  But I wanted my own copy of it, mostly so I could whispersync (see below).
• The Lochlann Treaty (The Lochlann Treaty #1-4) by Robin D. Mahle & Elle Madison — released February 21st, 2020.  Technically I preordered this box set, but then Amazon screwed these lovely ladies over, so they released it early (long story).  I haven’t read anything by them yet, but they are delightful in person, so you can bet I was going to take advantage of this so I could introduce myself to their writing…hopefully in the fall!  (psst — it’s also currently 99 cents, but that won’t last long!)

Gifted/Won It:

• Great and Precious Things by Rebecca Yarros — releases February 25th, 2020.  I actually just finished writing my review for this one (spoiler alert: I loved it!), but when I couldn’t find the cover in my blog gallery, I realized I’d forgotten to include it in a Stacking the Shelves.  I won an ARC of this beauty in the author’s Facebook group.

Newsletter Freebies:

• Keeper (Harris Brothers #3) by Amy Daws — I haven’t read much by this author yet, but this one intrigued me.  So when it was offered as the February book for the Dirty Boys Book Club I snagged it!

Audiobooks:

• Epic (Him #2.5) by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy, narrated by Jacob Morgan & Teddy Hamilton — When I first decided to give audiobooks another go, this was the series I tried first (because I already loved it) — and it was obviously a huge success (in fact, I just relistened to them).  So I knew I was going to want to have this one on audio too, and since the whispersync price is $1.99, it was a no brainer!

Had To Get The Next In The Series:

• Fighting for Rain (The Rain Trilogy #2) and Dying for Rain (The Rain Trilogy #3) by B.B. Easton — I’d gotten the first book in this trilogy on sale and decided to give it a try…and I enjoyed it enough to want to find out how it ends.  My review for the whole trilogy will be coming soon.

Got It On Sale:

• Ripples & Waves by L.A. Witt — A queer retelling of The Little Mermaid?  When I saw this in my BookBub email for free from its original $3.99, I knew I had to give it a shot.  No longer on sale.
• Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters #1) by Talia Hibbert — I’ve heard great things about this author, so when I saw it in my BookBub email for $2.99 from its usual $10.99, I jumped on it!  No longer on sale.
• After Care (Sexy Silver Foxes) by L.B. Dunbar — This author will be attending Book Bonanza this summer, and posted about it being free in the attendees group (from its original $4.99), so I snagged it!  Still free!
