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:

• Too Good to Be Real by Melonie Johnson from St. Martin’s Griffin (St. Martin’s Press) — releases July 6th, 2021.  This was a Read Now book, and it sounded cute so I snagged it.

ARCs From Authors/PR Companies:

• Sweetheart (Busy Bean #1) by Sarah Mayberry from Heart Eyes Press — releases March 1st, 2021.
• The One That I Want (Scorned Women’s Society #3) by Piper Sheldon from Smartypants Romance — releases February 23rd, 2021.  BLOG TOUR date will be March 10th, 2021.
• Heart Smart (Work For It #2) by Emma Lee Jayne from Smartypants Romance — releases March 2nd, 2021.  BLOG TOUR date will be March 17th, 2021.

Preorders That Went Live:

• Aphrodite Needs an Alibi (Aphrodite Needs a Clue #1) by Regan Claire — released February 3rd, 2021.  I beta read this one a bit!
• The World Apart Completed Series (World Apart #0.5-4) by Robin D. Mahle — released February 12th, 2021.  I’ve been curious about this series for a while, and it was a 99 cent preorder!  Score!

Borrowed From The Library:

• Cold Kiss & Glass Heart (Cold Kiss #1-2) by Amy Garvey — I won and enjoyed a hardcover of the first book a LOOOOONNNNNGGGG time ago.  I figured I might as well finally finish this duology, but since I prefer reading ebooks, I got it from the library.  We’ll see if it lives up to my memory.  If it works, Glass Heart would then work for my Monthly Key Word Challenge.
• Beach Read by Emily Henry, narrated by Julia Whelan — This has been on my radar since the summer, and it’s the February Adult Book Club read for the COYER challenge, so I best get to it!

Audible Premium Plus:

• Bridesmates by Sydney Smyth, narrated by Teddy Hamilton — I signed up for a free trial of Audible Premium Plus to take advantage of a sale (which I’ll talk about below), so I figured I might as well put it to use.  This was a super fun little novella.
• Your French Kisses (Boyfriend Material #5) by Lauren Blakely, narrated by Shane East & Erin Mallon — There are actually 2 novellas in this one, but I only listened to the first one (review coming soon).
• Eight Winter Nights by Liz Maverick, narrated by Eva Kaminsky & Jason Clarke — I’m listening to this right now!
• Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone, narrated by Luci Christian & Neil Hellegers

Audiobooks:

• Happily Ever Ninja (Knitting in the City #5) by Penny Reid, narrated by Em Eldridge & Will M. Watt — I adored the prequel, but didn’t get to this one while I still had the Audible Escape Package.  Turns out it’s $1.99 whispersync, so I snagged it.

Got It On Sale:

Oh look, Audible had another damn $5 sale, but only for Premium Plus members this time.  I’m not a member at all.  So did I sign up for a free trial again just to take advantage?  You bet your ass I did.  Do I still have a few I’m debating about outside of these 10?  Sadly yes.  I think the sale ends February 15th.  Some of these are new for me, but some are books I’ve read and loved and am curious about the audio (and this deal is better than the whispersync).
