Stacking the Shelves #75: October 2014 Book Haul (Part 3)


Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween and bookish week :) 

And, thank you all for the get-well wishes! My kiddos are finally doing well, and I am finally starting to feel as close to normal as one can get, lol! I've noticed that as I get older it takes me longer to recuperate from a bad cold... the aches and pains seem to linger a bit more, sigh... 
However, like always, books always make things much better :) 
I am really loving the wide variety of genres I've been receiving/getting. Having so many different things to read has been motivating me to focus on what I'm reading and read more and more!
I am really liking what I received in the last few weeks and cannot wait to dive in!!!

  4. Wow, great books! I have an ARC of FORBIDDEN, I'm excited to read it soon! And WINTERSPELL looks really good. Though, I've read mixed reviews, I'm still curios about it.

  6. I want to read Winterspell SO bad!! It looks and sounds amazing. XD I've heard mixed things about Black Ice though, and I kiiind of liked Hush, Hush (I'm a bit torn about it, though) so...hmmm. Not sure if I'll end up reading that one. I hope you really love these. THE MAZE RUNNER IS AMAZING!!!

  7. It's good to hear that you're feeling like yourselves, Margie. My family had recently been hit by the bug, and I seem to be its recent victim. Sigh.

    These are such lovely books! I hope you'll enjoy them.

  8. Yay, glad you're feeling somewhat better! Winterspell looks super shiny, and gorgeous. :) I haven't been hearing that many good things about Black Ice at all, which I wasn't bothered about anyway, even if it does sound like my type of read, I just couldn't get into her Hush, Hush series, so knew I wouldn't like it. :(

    Here's mine
