Stacking the Shelves #11

 photo STSmall_thumb2_zps82241b59.pngStacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

This was a great week. Wait until you see what I got and did!
On Friday of last week I went to the launch party for Amalie Howard's newest book: Alpha Goddess. I was lucky enough to get it signed. And she had a lady there doing henna tattoos, which was a lot of fun. I won a prize pack, too! Then I went to dinner with Amalie and a bunch of other bloggers and friends afterwards!

I had a 20% off coupon from Barnes and Noble (which I can never let expire without spending it!) and had heard great things about this book, so I ordered it. I am hopping to read it next week!

As many of you know, I am a publicist for Spencer Hill Press. So this week I met with one of my authors, the lovely Jennifer Murgia (who doesn't live that far from me) and she brought me a bag of goodies! Not the gift pack which I will be giving away soon on this blog! If you aren't aware, Jennifer runs YA Fest 2014 which takes place in Easton, PA. You can get more information HERE!

Finally, this first review book I got through Net Galley. The second book came as a physical copy, which I was surprised about because I also got it through Net Galley last week. Thanks to Harlequin Teen and Spencer Hill Press. I've already finished the first and I'm 1/2 way through the second!
