Filling the Shelf – 86

Posted by on January 12, 2013 10:19 pm in Book talk | 10 comments

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 two hosts!

 

How exciting; the first Filling the Shelf of 2013!

I ordered a few books with my Christmas money, but they have been quite slow to make their way home. I received a few in French, too, and The Man got his long awaited A Memory of Light (conclusion to the epic series I have yet to find the courage to go through!)

The first two YA novels to land in my mailbox this year sound sort of similar, and I am really looking forward to reading them both!

The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna  (Where a girl is created as a copy of another, prepared to replace her at any time…)

What’s Left of Me by Kat Zhang  (Where two souls inhabit a same body, a dangerous situation in their society…)

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

  6. I like how both have somewhat the same central themes of identity. I wasn’t too fond of What’s Left of Me but I hope you enjoy it.

  7. I have heard What’s Left of Me is a mixed bag, with some loving it, and others being “meh” about it. I am still interested in finding out what you think of it and seeing if it’s one that I should choose, so I look forward to reading your thoughts. Nice books here today!

  8. Those books look very cool together! What’s Left of Me is pretty good. And I’m so interested in checking out The Lost Girl – hopefully soon! Happy reading :)

  9. I haven’t read any of those books, but they look interesting. I had way too many bookstore shopping sprees over the holidays. Mostly YA fiction, all that I can’t wait to dig into.

  10. Wow sweet haul! I’ve heard great things about both of those and I really love the covers of each one :) Happy reading & thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. I’m a new follower via Twitter & Pinterest!!
