Stacking the Shelves (64)


Welcome to this week's Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga`s Reviews. It features books I bought or received for review each week. It is about adding books to my book shelf whether it by physical, virtual or audio. Thanks for stopping by!

Books purchased at Chapter Indigo:

Legacy of Kings by Eleanor Herman
The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover 

I can't believe it's August already. Where has the last 7 months gone? It's been awhile since I've posted anything. The honest truth is that I needed to step back with everything in my life and find what I really enjoy. In my time away from blogging I've found some new hobbies that I find that I love doing. Now I'm back and I've read some really good books in my time away and excited to start sharing. The books above are some of what I've bought recently. I'm so excited to start reading them! I think I'm going to start with It Ends with Us. The author posted a pic on Instagram recently where she has received something like over 800 5 star reviews on Amazon. I definitely would like to see what this book is about because of that. 

What new books have you received recently???

Waiting on Wednesday (73)

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Expected Publication Date: September 20, 2016

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)
Every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins. The last queen standing gets the crown.

If only it was that simple. Katharine is unable to tolerate the weakest poison, and Arsinoe, no matter how hard she tries, can’t make even a weed grow. The two queens have been shamefully faking their powers, taking care to keep each other, the island, and their powerful sister Mirabella none the wiser. But with alliances being formed, betrayals taking shape, and ruthless revenge haunting the queens’ every move, one thing is certain: the last queen standing might not be the strongest…but she may be the darkest.

I purchased some great books recently. I am still reading The Mirror King and I`m loving it. I find that I don`t make time for reading as I use it. This definitely needs to change.

I hope everyone has a good week!
