Stacking the Shelves (39) 1.25.14

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tyngas Reviews. This meme allows us to share the books we've recently added to our shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! *Clicking the link of a book's title will take you to Goodreads.


Good news: I got an email that my certification was approved. I'm still waiting for the paper to come in the mail, but I'm one step closer. Yay! I'm hoping within the next 2 weeks or so I'll actually be subbing in classrooms.

On the blog front this week I posted a Discussion on Rereading (I'm pro rereading), a review of the book Mind Games which I reread (ha) in preparation for Perfect Lies, and a review of Rainbow Rowell's debut novel Attachments which is a fun, but not too cutesy, adult novel that reminded me of some of my favorite old school chick-lit novels. I didn't post a movie on Friday like I planned even though I had a couple of different movies I could have talked about. I was planning on writing it at the office Thursday, but ended up looking at substitute requirements for the different districts in my city and contacting different schools to request applications and to express my interest. I'll definitely post a movie review next Friday.

I have some pretty awesome books to share with you all today, so without further adieu...I hope you are all having fabulous weekends. For my fellow US residents, I hope you are staying warm! It is cold, cold, cold here, which is good for reading in bed, but bad for, you know, every other aspect of my life.

For Review

 

 

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

This was one of my most anticipated books of 2014 (although I think I left it off my top 10 list-doh), so I read it pretty much as soon as I got it. It's so cute. My favorite book of hers so far. I'll post a review next week. 

Alienated by Melissa Landers

This cover. I love it. I've heard some pretty good things about this so far and am excited to start it. It follows a girl who is chosen to host the first alien in a foreign exchange-type program.

Landry Park by Bethany Hagen

This doesn't sound like my normal type of book, but its getting great early buzz that makes me excited to read it. Hailed as Downton Abbey meets The Selection (a show I don't watch and a book I've never read).

The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris by Jenny Colgan

I really liked her novel The Boy I Loved Before and think this chick-lit story sounds really cute. 

The Real Prom Queens of Westfield High by Laurie Boyle Crompton

After a girl is voted least likely to be voted prom queen she is roped into a reality TV show.

What I snagged from the library

Imposter by Susanne Winnacker
I've been wanting to read this for months. I was psyched when my library's system finally got a copy.
Camp Boyfriend by JK Rock

A former geeky girl has transformed herself at her new high school, but she is excited to go back to camp where she has real friends who appreciate her for who she really is. Sounds pretty cute. The font size is, like, 18 in the book though which I hate so I haven't started it yet. 

Premeditated by Josin Mcquein

I've checked out this revenge novel before, but didn't get to it in time. I've been meaning to read this for a while, so I hope I can find the time to get to it. 

So that's it for me this week. I'm pretty excited about what I added to my shelves. What did you add to your shelves? Link me up!
