Stacking the Shelves is a weekly haul meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews & Reading Reality. It is about sharing enthusiasm for the new books added to our shelves – be it physical, ebooks, galleys or borrowed from the library.
Macmillan broke through my weak goals of ‘don’t add too many books’ by releasing loads of galleys this week (and apparently I can access almost all of them direct to download, no requesting nonsense? I don’t know who added me to the auto-approved list but I am so thankful)
But then you should have heard my squeals when I got the galleys for Belle Revolte, The Shadows Between Us, Dark and Deepest Red and The Silence of Bones
Netgalley
Scout by Sanjiv Lingard
It kinda gave me Body Finder vibes, as it has a teen boy who is able to sense residual emotions like an empath and is asked by the police to help in a missing persons case.
A Thousand Fires by Shannon Price
“10 Years. 3 Gangs. 1 Girl’s Epic Quest…” It’s a contemporary about a girl wanting to avenge her brother’s death.
Every Sparrow Falling by Shirley Anne-McMillan
A girl in foster care who lives by the adage of not getting involved in others’ business finds a boy presumed missing, who asks her to keep his secret.
Edelweiss
Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown
Black girl wizard in New York, and themes of racism and depression, and autobiographical in nature? Definitely interested!
Rogue Princess by B R Myers
“Sparks fly as this headstrong princess and would-be thief uncover a rebel conspiracy that could destroy their planet forever in this gender-swapped sci-fi YA retelling of Cinderella.“
Gone by Nightfall by Dee Garretson
“A young woman is torn between her home and her dreams in Dee Garretson’s Gone by Nightfall, a thrilling YA novel set in during the Russian Revolution.” I haven’t read many novels set during this time so I am interested.
Glitch Kingdom by Sheena Boekweg
Okay, I have read many ‘gamers getting stuck in the game’ novels but I love the concept and wouldn’t mind reading some more takes on it.
Late to the Party by Kelly Quindlen
This book had me at “Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. She’s never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. She’s never even been kissed. And it’s not just because she’s gay.“
The King’s Questioner by Nikki Katz
The main character is a mental picklock – as in, he can get into people’s heads and extract information, so he is the king’s questioner. And he is now tasked with finding a lost/exiled princess.
Lucky Caller by Emma Mills
High school kids trying to run a radio station, with a dysfunctional team? So here for the drama
Bent Heavens by Daniel Kraus
The daughter of a person who claimed to be abducted by aliens actually finds one in one of the traps he set up. Also, apparently it is alien horror?
Novice Dragoneer by E E Knight
“an impoverished girl enters into a military order of dragonriders, but her path won’t be as easy or as straightforward as she expected.“
Jane Anonymous by Laurie Faria Stolarz
It’s been a while since I have read this author’s work, so I was excited to see that she is writing another YA thriller. This one is about a kidnapped girl who returns home, is trying to process through the seven months of her captivity, and finding that maybe there’s more to the story.
SEQUELS
Shelved on Goodreads
Little Women by Louisa M Alcott
Okay, yeah, I finally started reading this. Currently I am hoping to read at least one chapter a day.
Sequels
18 new books shelved this week!
What new books have you added to your shelves? Any of these you excited for?
YA on my Mind 
Congrats on being added to the auto-approved list of Macmillan. That’s so freaking awesome! 😄 Hope you love your new books.
Happy readings!
Oh, I’m not sure! But since I can access most of their galleys now when I couldn’t before, I was sorta joking that I’m now on the auto approval list 😁 in any case, though, I’m quite happy about it
