Filling the Shelf – 56

Posted by on April 9, 2012 12:29 am in Book talk | 15 comments

Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday (this month hosted by Cindy’s Love of 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!

Happy Monday to everyone! 🙂 I hope you had a nice Easter weekend. Here, we ate a lot of chocolate. Yum!

I had, once again, great books in my mailbox this week! Not sure which one I’m the most excited about; probably Sacré Bleu, which sounds perfect for me!

Sacré Bleu by Christopher Moore : This. Sounds. Awesome!!! I have only read one book of Moore before, but I really, really can’t wait to put my nose in this one. It’s beautiful!

Fear by Michael Grant : I’ve been a fan of the series and I am really looking forward to see what happens next in this fifth book. Grant has a crazy imagination, for me he’s like the YA version of Stephen King.

Uglies; Shay’s Story by Scott Westerfeld : The graphic version of the Uglies series. Already read, review coming this week.

Soulless by Gail Carriger and Rem : At first I thought I would wait until I finished reading the series before reading the graphic novel, but then I realized it would be the perfect way to refresh my memory before reading the following books!

Stay by Deb Caletti : Heard a lot of good about this one, and I enjoyed Caletti’s The Nature of Jade.

Something like Fate by Susane Colasanti : I have read one book of Colasanti before and didn’t particularly enjoyed it, but I like to give authors second chances and I read good reviews of this one.

What did you add to your shelves recently? Have you read one of these two books?

  3. I’m curious about Sacre Bleu. Hope you enjoy all your new books!

  4. Oh I didn’t realize that Uglies and Soulless were now in graphic novels. I will have to check them out. Thanks for letting me know. Happy reading.

  5. I’ll be interested to hear how you like Something Like Fate! I’ve read a few by Susane Colasanti and haven’t been blown away, but I like to give authors second (or third) chances, too. And the covers are always so cute.

  6. I haven’t read any of those books but my husband loved the Uglies series.

  7. I cannot believe I haven’t read The Uglies series yet – I so need to get on it. And Fear sounds really interesting too.

  8. Enjoy all your new books. I read Uglies but I haven’t finished the series.

  9. I really want to read Sacre Bleu, and hope that you enjoy it. I really need to get a look at that Uglies graphic novel as well. Great new additions to the shelf today!

  10. I haven’t read any of these either! I hope you enjoy the books.

  11. I’m SO envious of the Uglies graphic novel. I do hope you review it 🙂 Enjoy!

  12. I like the way you organized your new books: each duo kinda goes together. Hope you enjoy all your new reads!

    • I’ve been discovered!!
      It’s my OCD showing up, really. I tend to buy books in pairs, and then organize them by their common particularities… Either by theme, colors, etc. You have a great eye!

  13. i have sacre bleu too! i’ve only read one of moore’s books, but i did enjoy it and i can’t wait to read this one. i hope we both enjoy it!
