Filling the Shelf – 36
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday (this month hosted by Amused by Books) or In my Mailbox (created by The Story Siren ), but with a title that suits my blog 😀 If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, I invite you to visit those two awesome features!
First, a declaration :
The flower theme on these covers is purely coincidental. Funnily enough, they are also part of the covers I was collecting for my Artsy Shelf feature, but I hadn’t realize it until I got to preparing this post. Huh!
This being said, here are the books that graciously moved in last week, with linking to Goodreads for more details :
The Heretic’s Wife by Brenda Rickman Vantrease : First I have to say, I love this one’s cover. It’s a bit different from the current historical fiction trend, and it looks more thought out to me. I also think it will be fun to read of Tudor England not from the point of view of Ann Boleyn and co.
Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta : I remember this book being all over the blogs last year, and mostly with great reviews. I’ve already cracked it open and so far, so good!
Forget-Her-Nots by Amy Brecount White : Using flowers to bring back memories and make people fall in love? Sounds like an intriguing premise to me!
Sisters in Sanity by Gayle Forman : Gayle Forman is mostly known for her YA novel on loss and death, If I Stay, and its even greater sequel Where She Went, which I both enjoyed, so of course I wanted to read this one too.
What did you add to your shelves recently? Have you read one of these two books?
One of the booksellers at my local indie loves Jellicoe Road, so I’ll be anxious to see what you think of it.
These covers are very beautiful and eye catching. I am curious about all of them. I’ll have to look into all of them. I hope you enjoy them all.
Forget Her Not is on my wishlist!
What a gorgeous week! That first cover is amazing.
You do have a flower theme thing going on there. I love it! Have a great week and enjoy your new books!
Very pretty covers, enjoy!

I have heard some good things about Jellicoe Road, and I have been wanting to read The Heretic’s Wife for some time now. Great mailbox today! I am so envious!
Beautiful covers – hope the books are as good!

All of these books have me drooling over some serious cover lust! Hope you enjoy them all.
