Stacking The Shelves #33


Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews and is a post for bloggers to share what books they've received to review, bought, won, borrowed or were gifted.
 

Question before the STS:
Just wondering, Do you prefer STS post with or without video? I was thinking about going back to doing videos to go with my STS post, but I’m not sure if they just get in the way of the books themselves. Any thoughts appreciatedSmile

 
What I got this week
 
For Review
The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London the peculiar capital of the world. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner. Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reacting experience. (Goodreads)
 

I think Richie is going to get to this before me, but I have flipped through it and read just a bit…. It looks like it is going to be just as amazing as the first in the series.
 

I purchased

I had seen Half World in a book store a while back and thought it looked interesting. I was at Ollie’s tonight and saw it there for $3.99! I had to grab it. I hope it’s a fun read.
 

From the library

The girls and I are reading this together now. So far The Unseen World of Poppy Malone A Gaggle of Goblins is a lot of fun.

Have you read any of the books above?
Can’t wait to see what you got!

    I prefer them without video. I prefer reading about a book instead of hearing about it. I just seem to absorb things better that way.

    Hollow City seems awesome, but I haven't started this series yet, so I wouldn't really know.

    Thanks for stopping by earlier :) Have a wonderful weekend.

    I've seen Hollow City EVERYWHERE and I still need to read the first book, because I've heard that it's insanely creepy and eerie. And to answer your "before the STS question," I like videos but I usually never get the chance to watch them, but if I know the blogger well then I usually try to make time to go through the video. Happy reading!

    I've heard a of mixed things about Miss Peregrine's, it's probably why I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm hoping to soon though, it does look good. I hope you enjoy all of your books. My STS :)
