Stacking the Shelves (#3)

Posted by Renu at 02:59
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga over at Tynga Reviews.

Edelweiss:

Towering by Alex Flinn


NetGalley:

A Touch of Scarlet by Eve Marie Mont

Bought:

Unravel Me by Tahera Mafi
Finished this last week and was left in an emotional mess. I liked it, but for me it wasn't as good as Shatter Me. Warner, is an interesting character, but I really wish he hadn't become a love interest. I was talking to the lovely Judith from Paper Riot, telling her that I NEVER read books with love triangles so for me to have read this is kind of a big deal. I needed more Juliette and Adam so I just HAD to make an exception.  And as much as I adore Juliette, she really annoyed me with her mopping around in this book - which is why I was so happy when Kenji told her to stop feeling sorry for herself. This guy is just awesome! <3 As for Adam...my heart ached for him. :'( I'm so scared about the 3rd and final book now, I really hope Juliette ends up with Adam.


Breaking Point by Kristen Simmons



Scarlet by Marissa Meyer


 Have you read/plan to read any of these books? :)

Awesome books you got this week!! And I am Team Adam as well ;) I am hopefully going to buy Scarlet this week, since I absolutely adored Cinder :)

Towering, lucky you! I can't wait to read it with my fairytale obsession. And the cover is so pretty <3

Happy reading :D

You and I felt exactly the same way about Unravel Me! I love Warner's character (I really do), but I don't think it's necessary for him to become a love interest. Or in other words, I don't want him to be a love interest. Why does everything have to be romantic? Ugh. :(

But anyway, great haul! I love the cover for Towering. I hope you enjoy your new reads!

Judith said...

Well, you already know how I felt about Unravel Me haha. But I'm way too freaked out over that book so I'm going to tell you again anyway :D Just yes to everything you said. It was good, but to me not as good as Shatter Me, because my heart wasn't in it as much. I freaking love Kenji and Warner is interesting, but NOT as a love interest ugh. My heart ached for Adam and I'm scared of book 3. That's all.

(And I'm reading Scarlet right now and LOVING IT!)

Eve said...

I totally agree about Kenji :D He kind of stole the show from everyone. And he was a really good friend to Juliette. Someone who told her the truth. And although I kind of liked Warner in Unravel Me, I'm hoping Juliette will end up with Adam; I love a devoted guy.
I haven't heard of the other books, though (except for Scarlet, since I'm reading Cinder ATM :D).
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the books!

Jasprit said...

Wow and awesome haul Renu, The Boyfriend App sounds so adorable, so I can't wait to see how you find it. Also yay for Unravel Me, sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as you'd hoped, but I agree it was such a heartbreaking read! I also need to get a copy of Breaking Point asap, I absolutely loved Article 5! I hope you enjoy all of your books! :)

Kathy Martin said...

Nice assortment of books. I loved Scarlet too and can't wait for Cress. Come see what I got at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!

Maja (The Nocturnal Library) said...

So much awesomeness this week! I really adored Unravel Me, it simply blew me away. I think it might be time for a re-read. I have every intention of reading Cinder and Scarlet soon too. Enjoy your books!

Rachel said...

I have The Boyfriend App as well, I hope we both enjoy it. I was torn up reading Unravel me, too. I hate love triangles and I'm going to be so sad for whoever Juliette doesn't pick. I was solidly Team Adam but now I can't decide!! Juliette was rather mopey in the first half and I wanted to shake her as well. Enjoy your books Renu. :)

Henrietta @ Leisure Reads said...

I like the sound of The Boyfriend App. And I look forward to reading your review on A Touch of Scarlet. Enjoy your books and have a fabulous week :)

Katja Weinert said...

These all sound like fun and I'm really looking forward to reading Scarlet.

Heidi@Rainy Day Ramblings said...

I very much want to check out Towering. Alex Finn is an author I have been wanting to try for so long. So glad you loved Scarlet and Shatter Me. Have a fantastic week, Renu!

Rissi said...

Ah! Cannot wait to get me hands on 'Towering' and eventually 'Scarlet.' Thanks, Renu! Fun post, girl. :)

Christy @ Love of Books said...

I'm really curious about Towering. I didn't read Beastly, but Towering sounds way better to me.

Eileen said...

OMG Unravel Me was SO AMAZING. Like literally you will LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! LOVE IT.

And I really hope your Team Adam for it lol! If not I'll totally flip out on you. NOBODY'S SUPPORTING ADAM ANYMORE.

Anyway, awesome haul!!

Andrea @The Bookish Babes said...

You have a spectacular mailbox this week Renu! I'm so glad you loved Scarlet, I absolutely adored that one as well. I can't wait for Breaking Point and the Boyfriend App, both sound amazing (albeit very different). Looking forward to your thoughts on them!

Carina Olsen said...

Sobs. I will NEVER EVER read Unravel Me. Sniffs. It's just upsetting me so damn much. I hate love triangles more than anything. And Warner is an asshole. I don't get why he's a love interest either :\ Juliette is NOT being fair towards Adam.. At least not in my opinion. Gahh. I just have so many thoughts about love triangles (A) none good. Lol. ANYWAY! You got lots of awesome this week :D Sigh. Scarlet. So good. <3 Hope you enjoy everything sweetie :)
Thank you for commenting on my mailbox. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
