Stacking the Shelves #68 (July Book Haul Part 2)


Happy August!!!
Holy moly, can you believe that it's August already!
One more month before school starts around here, and we're dreading it already, lol!
Lots of yummy bookish things going on, and I've been on cloud nine over it all...

First, I've teamed up with Book Outlet to help spread the word on their latest sales and promos!
Right now, don't miss out on their 25% off YA sale!!!

Next, a few really unique blog tours are coming up soon -
some DIY stuff and recipes will be done! Along with another tour where I'll be sharing my unique encounter with the main character! AND, another where I get to share my creative side with a very unique journal! Fun stuff!!!

And lastly, I've finally caught up with a lot of my reviews and such, hoping to get ahead now and attack my huge TBR for August and September sooner than I planned :)

  11. Ahhh, I need to pick up The Bone Season already! One that I've been meaning to do for a while but haven't gotten around to. :( But LOVED Illusions of Fate, was everything I wanted it to be. :) Yay, family trip to the bookstore! I wish mine would, but they don't read that much, I feel like disowning them sometimes, haha. ;) Happy reading!

    Here's mine
