Filling the Shelf – 67

Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday or the more recent Stacking the Shelves, 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 the current host!

Happy Monday everyone!

Two parts in this edition of Filling the Shelf : first, four books (two adult mysteries, two YA) recently published that arrived in the mail this week. Always exciting! And second, four fiction novels, non-YA, that I mentioned in the past weeks. I got them a couple weeks ago in an ebook sale, as they were four novels I had on my wishlist. Less than ten bucks for the four novels, I say that’s a great deal! 🙂

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes : Girl meets perfect boy, boy has issues; trouble ensues, and years later, girl is barely recovering when a phone call changes everything… I am currently reading this thriller, and I quickly got into it. I’m curious to see where this will go.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn : A seemingly perfect couple, a wife disappearing, the husband claiming his innocence; a mystery that has come to me with high praise – if not about this precise book, it was at least about the author, whom I have never read before. I’m excited about it though.

Tokyo Heist by Diana Renn : The search for a stolen piece of art, from Seattle to Japan? I’m in!

This is not a Test by Courtney Summers : There was no way I was not going to be reading Courtney Summer’s new novel, especially when she is giving zombies a try!

The Lacemakers of Glenmara by Heather Barbieri : Ireland and lace makers: sounds charming!

Labor Day by Joyce Maynard : A coming-of-age novel of some sort; the summary says it evokes a combination of “Ian McEwan’s Atonement and Nick Hornby’s About a Boy”, which I can’t imagine, but I wanted to give it a try anyway.

Still Missing by Chevy Stevens : A story told in two times I believe; captive for a year, a woman tells the story of her abduction and of her escape.

The Ninth Wife by Amy Stolls : A woman meets her maybe-future-husband’s past eight wives. This one, I’m mostly curious to see where the author is going with this.

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