Stacking The Shelves - April 29, 2012


Due to the recent issues involving The Story Siren, I have decided to no longer participate in the In My Mailbox meme. 

I was thrilled when I found out that Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews has started this new meme called Stacking The Shelves, which she describes as follows:

"Stacking The Shelves is all about the books we are adding to our shelves each week, sharing with you our excitement for our newest titles and maybe have you discover a new book in the process!"


I won some fabulous giveaways, and it kind of felt like my birthday with all these wonderful gifts!

I won this amazing prize package in a giveaway hosted by Melissa at Books And Things:


Three autographed books by Dakota Banks:

Plus an awesome swag back containing:
"Follow the Mortal Path" tote bag
One bookmark for each book
One pen for each book
One calculator
Two magnets (for Books #1 and #3)

Wow! Thanks, again, to Melissa & Dakota!!


I won this fabulous prize package in a giveaway hosted by Melissa at Words at Home:

Softcover copy of:
 by K.B. Hoyle

Plus some awesome swag handpicked by the author:
-Skittles and Microwave Popcorn (Hoyle's favorite snacks at the camp on which the setting is based)
-A packet of daisy seeds (because of the wild daisies that grow in the upper peninsula)
-A garden gnome (to represent the gnomes at Gnome's Haven in Hoyle's book)
-A miniature composition notebook (to represent Lewis's notebook in the story)
-A candle (a sun-kissed leaves tealight candle with an Adirondack chair holder-for the Adirondack chairs at the camp)
- Autographed photo of the book cover
- Matching bookmark

Thanks again to Melissa & K.B. for this beautiful prize package!

I won this e-book in the Showers of Books Giveaway hosted by the author:

I won this e-book in a giveaway hosted by Lisa at Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Reviews and Goodies:
