Stalking the Shelves is a play on Stacking The Shelves which is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.
The meme title so closely matches our blog name that we decided to make
a small change to it. Stalking the Shelves is just a fun way to show
off the books we've been buying, borrowing and hoarding. LOL

OMG what a brilliant book hurl! Can't wait to see what you think of Skin Deep and Hunting Lila! Both books are absolutely amazing! I can't believe they're not available in the US! Not even Hunting Lila??? :O
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of The Age of Miracles because I have a copy but never got around for reading it! I've heard wonderful things about Tiger Lily and For Darkness Shows the Stars so I can't wait to read your reviews!
Happy Reading! xx
I just finished For Darkness Shows the Stars so enjoy!!! I just ordered Hunting Lila myself. Can't wait to get it. I'm jealous of Prodigy. You could let your lovely sis borrow that one. :)
ReplyDeleteYou got some very awesome books! I also got Incarnate, but mine was from the library, and unfortunately not signed.

Happy reading !
Saving Francesca!! I love that book so much. Also, Prodigy!! I'm so excited about that one. Enjoy all your new books, Shannon.
ReplyDeleteMy copy of LOSING LILA arrived this week...I might re-read HUNTING LILA first! I enjoyed TIGER LILY quite a bit. I still need to do a full review... Oh, PRODIGY, nice, can't wait for this! I still have to read my copy of FOR DARKNESS... and I looooved INCARNATE and enjoyed CATCHING JORDAN as well. Enjoy everything!
ReplyDeleteGrats on lifting the ban! Glad to see you did it in style with some excellent selections. I had to force myself NOT to buy that copy of Saving Francesca a couple of weeks ago (I'm not on an all out ban, but a highly restricted one :P). I've also only heard lovely things about Tiger Lily, and quite frankly your Mom rocks. I had pretty mixed feelings about The Age of Miracles, but it was certainly interesting.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Yay for no more book buying ban! That would be absolute TORTURE for me, although I may put myself on a ban for the next couple weeks since I'm heading off on vacation soon... Hmmm. GREAT titles you have there! I still need to pick up Hunting Lila myself. Thanks for increasing the temptation! Same with Catching Jordan...
ReplyDeleteThat's a very fabulous bunch of books! Try to read HUNTING LILA as soon as possible and make sure to get a copy of LOSING LILA soon afterwards (that one's even better). CATCHING JORDAN's another favorite of mine and I can't wait to read INCARNATE and TIGER LILY myself. Happy reading!

Congrats on being off your book ban! :)
ReplyDeleteYou got some fabulous books! Prodigy looks fantastic, and Catching Jordan is a great book. You also can't ever go wrong with a Melina Marchetta book ;)
Hope you enjoy everything!
I've been seeing Hunting Lila around a lot and it sounds pretty good. I hope you enjoy everything you got this week! Here's my IMM =)
