Stacking the Shelves (149)/Sunday Post

Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves or TBR piles, may it be physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a physical store, online, books you borrow from the library or friends, review books, gifts and of course, ebooks! The original meme was started over at Tynga's Reviews. And it now has a new co-host where individuals can link up as well - Marlene from Reading Reality.  Clicking on the book (or title) should take you to the Goodreads page.  I'm also now linking up with the Sunday Post which is hosted by Kimberly@Caffeinated Book Reviewer. 
Once again I grabbed a few books for my Kindle.  None of these were free, but two were at least under $5.00.  However, I'm making NO EXCUSES!  I've been waiting for "Pitch Dark" to release and it will be perfect for my Swords and Stars Challenge.  I've read one of the Sabina Kane novels by Jaye Wells and liked it so I jumped when I saw she had a new horror book, "High Lonesome Sound" coming out.  And let's be honest, I just couldn't resist the cover of "Moonfall."

I received "Cast a Cold Eye" and "S" in my Nocturnal Readers subscription box and "The Friend" from Page Habit Quarterly.


And lastly I got "Fiction Can Be Murder (#StormiMadeMeDoIt)," "Big Woods," and "Trail of Lightning" for review.  Thanks to the publishers and can I just say how thrilled I am to have a copy of "Trail of Lightining" in my greedy little hands!


So what did you add to your shelves this week?  I have to make a library run Saturday morning so look for that haul next week.  Have a great one everybody!

    I enjoyed the first Sabina Kane book and still need to read the rest of the series! I didn't know she had a horror book out so I need to look at that...

      I'm in the same position with the Sabina Kane books. However, I'll be honest, I want to read this one first.

    I read the first 125 pages of Pitch Dark while I was having a coffee at Barnes & Noble yesterday. Definitely shaping up to be a fantastic read. Alameda is a force to be reckoned with, I think.

      I saw that on Twitter. Glad to hear you liked it. I've heard good things about Shutter by the same author and will have to pick it up!

    I get the quarterly box as well! I've been thinking of cancelling because it's really overpriced, I think, but I was happy to get a copy of The Friend. Did you get that cool library card coffee mug too?

      I used to get the monthly box and canceled - DEFINITELY not worth it. When I was canceling, I saw this book was the quarterly pick so I ordered it. I'll be canceling it as well because it's not worth it IMHO. I did get the mug which was awesome.

      BTW, I subscribe to Nocturnal's Readers Box and it's definitely worth the money.

      I'm curious about it too. I've heard none of the adults have actual names in the book so I wonder how that will play out when reading it.

    If I was into horror books I would buy Moonfall for the cover alone as it is awesome.

    Sorry had to delete my comment before. I had copy and paste another post I was replying too. Long day. Lol.

    Happy Reading

      I've heard you don't have to read the others in the series to enjoy S, but I'm kind of anal about that so I may have to pick them up.

    I had Pitch Dark on my wishlist, but then I realized it's supposed to be a scary book once I saw the cover. I guess I missed that before. I don't really do scary books, but we'll see.

    Enjoy your new lovelies, and thanks for visiting Shell's Stories!
