Stacking the Shelves (#4)

Stacking the Shelves is a book blog meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where book bloggers post about the new books they have acquired throughout the week either digitally or hard copy. It can be books that you have borrowed from a friend, got at a library, purchased online or in a store, etc!

Here are the books I have acquired this week!

Borrowed From the Library

Hades by Alexandra Adornetto 

This is the sequel to the book I'm reading right now, Halo. I'm really enjoying it right now. It's really interesting and cute. Plus, I love forbidden love stories.

Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto 

This is the third and final book in the series that I'm reading. I love the cover! Love that their arms make a heart shape!

The Program by Suzanne Young

I can't remember where I originally saw this, but I remember thinking it sounded fascinating and somewhat frightening! The book trailer for it looked good too.

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

I went to the library this afternoon with my mother and I was just roaming around with nothing specific in mind since I had already gotten so many books from the library I work at. Then I saw this book and recognized it from Krystianna's blog, Downright Dystopia. This wasn't the first book on my TBR list, but decided to get it anyways! Actually, I didn't even know I had it listed on Goodreads until I went to the Goodreads page for the book!

The Raven Boy's Trailer

Today author Maggie Stiefvater released the trailer for her newest book The Raven Boys. I read her book The Scorpio Races & loved it! It was a great read. It was truly unique & original. She also wrote the Shiver trilogy which are pretty good as well. Maggie is a great author. She definitely knows how to write. I am really looking forward to reading The Raven Boys & its sequels. Here's the synospis according to Goodreads:

" 'There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,' Neeve said. 'Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.'

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.

From Maggie Stiefvater, the bestselling and acclaimed author of the Shiver trilogy and The Scorpio Races, comes a spellbinding new series where the inevitability of death and the nature of love lead us to a place we’ve never been before."

Here's the trailer:

Doesn't it look intense?? It comes out in September, but you can win a free copy of it. Go to Maggie's website for more information.
