Stacking the Shelves (65)


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!

Audio books purchased through Audible.com:

The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson

Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren

Dirty by Kylie Scott

Wildest Dreams by Kristen Ashley

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

The Great Hunt by Wendy Higgins

I have bought quite a few books recently from Audible.com. I am currently listening to An Ember in the Ashes and really enjoying it so far! Even though I'm just in the beginning of the book, I'm excited to continue reading it because I want to know what happens next. I've been feeling under the weather lately and find it hard to focus and read or even listen to a book. Hopefully that passes soon. In these next couple of months, some great books are going to releasing and I'm so excited! I'm anxiously waiting for A Torch Against the Night even though I've just started An Ember in the Ashes as well as Empire of Storms, Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews, and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bartugo among others. 

What are you books are you anxiously waiting to be released???

Caraval by Stephanie Garber

"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: January 31st, 2017

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)
Before you enter the world of Caraval, you must remember that it’s all a game . . .

Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their ruthless father. Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the legendary, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.

Then, Scarlett’s long-dreamt of invitation to Caraval finally arrives. So, Tella enlists a mysterious sailor’s help to whisk Scarlett away to this year’s show. But as soon as the trio arrives, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend.

Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nonetheless soon becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with her sister, with Legend, and with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.
