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!

ARCs From Authors/PR Companies:

• Lies & Lullabies (Hush Note #1) by Sarina Bowen, narrated by Erin Mallon & Tim Paige — releases September 22nd, 2020.  My FIRST ALC — Advanced Listening Copy!  This is going to be my next audiobook, and I might be a wee bit excited.

Preorders That Went Live:

• The Reality of Everything (Flight & Glory #5) by Rebecca Yarros — released August 24th, 2020.  LOVED IT.

New Releases:

Borrowed From The Library:

• Midnight Sun (Twilight #1.5) by Stephenie Meyer, narrated by Jake Abel — Got it from Libby (OverDrive).  It entertained, if dragged.
• Stripped (Happy Endings #1) by Zoey Castile, narrated by Carmen Vine & Jacob Morgan — Got it from Hoopla, listening to it now.  A book for the September Diversity Challenge theme! #ownvoices

Newsletter Freebies:

• Stud in the Stacks (Girl Band #2) by Pippa Grant — I’ve been curious about this book for a bit (hot librarian?  yes please!), so when it was offered as the August book for the Dirty Boys Book Club I snagged it!

Audiobooks:

• You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria, narrated by Seraphine Valentine — I read an ARC of this one, and LOVED IT!  And apparently the audiobook is amazing as well, and is on sale everywhere BUT Audible — so I decided to try out Libro.FM!  You can check it out here.  You even get to pick an independent bookstore to support, so I picked one here in Edmonton.  As of this posting, it’s still $7.99!  I can’t wait to hear the Spanish…

Got It On Sale:

• A Pizza My Heart (Slice #1) by Teagan Hunter — I don’t know if I was following the author, or wishlisted this book in particular, but I got an eReaderIQ alert that this one was free from its usual $3.99, so I grabbed it.  No longer free.
• Discovering the Real Millie by Tessa Marie —  I kept forgetting to snag this one, but I got an eReaderIQ alert that this one was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $4.99 and I got it from Kobo.  Still on sale!
• Sweet Talker (American Royalty #2) by Robin Bielman —  I follow this author on eReaderIQ, so I got an alert that this one was free from its usual $3.99.  One-clicked on Kobo, no longer on sale.
• Off-Limits Crush (One Wild Wish #2) by Kelly Siskind — I feel like I have this one under the old title, but I got an eReaderIQ alert that it was free from its usual $3.99, so I grabbed it on Kobo.  May or may not still be on sale (isn’t for me in Canada).
• Liar, Liar, Hearts on Fire (Bro Code #3) by Pippa Grant — I think I saw this one in the Book Bonanza Attendees group, so I wishlisted it.  So when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this one was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $3.99, so I one-clicked.  Still on sale!
• Dirty Secret (Slayers Hockey #1) by Mira Lyn Kelly — Saw this one in my BookBub email, on free from its usual $4.99, and was obviously attracted to the hockey…so grabbed it on Kobo.  Still free!
• Sidewinders Ever After (Las Vegas Sidewinders #12) by Kat Mizera — Another hockey book in my BookBub email, this one appears to be a collection of novellas.  I know I’ve read something from this author in a Hockey Anthology I have, but couldn’t remember if I liked it or not…and since it was free (from its usual $2.99) I snagged it on Kobo.  Turns out I was middling on the one I read, but maybe I’ll enjoy these more.  Still free!
• Batter of Wits (Donner Bakery #5) by Karla Sorensen — I think I must have been informed this was on sale from the Smartypants Romance page on Facebook.  I enjoyed Ms. Sorensen’s book in the first launch, so figured I’d check this one out as well, especially since it was on sale for 99 cents from its usual $4.99.  Still on sale!
• Max (Cold Fury Hockey #6) by Sawyer Bennett —  I enjoyed a NetGalley ARC of this one when it came out (see my review here), so when I got an eReaderIQ alert that this one was on sale for $1.99 from its usual $7.99, so I grabbed it!  Still on sale!
