Review: Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody

Release date: April 10, 2018 Author info: Website | Twitter Publisher: Harlequin Teen Pages: 416 Format: Egalley Source: Publisher provided for review through Netgalley Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Welcome to the City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets… and secrets hide in every shadow. Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin.

The Secret

Stacking the Shelves {139}


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where we get to share the books we've bought, been gifted, or received for review!

How was everybody's year? It's been so long since I've been around that I feel like I should ask! Mine was my regular, rather uneventful time. I worked and read... And that's kind of it! Not having blogging was odd, but definitely relaxing. I'm going to be more laid back in how I do blogging from now on--not pressuring myself to post 6 days a week, but instead making sure I'm more social and reaching out much more than I have in the post. Hopefully I can handle it! :D


And because it's been so long since I've done a STS, there's a huge amount of books to share! Woo! This is largely because HarperCollins uploaded a bunch on Edelweiss, and I never have much self control with that, and because we had our employee appreciation days at work, where I bought a lot more books than I normally do since I get the extra discount! Here we go!

So that's been my week! Whew! That was a lot of links. And I actually realized I missed a couple that I bought, including some really cool Disney-oriented books and the illustrated Harry Potter, Buuut, I realized that rather late and am way too lazy. Maybe I'll show them next week, maybe not. :) Have a lovely Sunday and a fabulous week!

Blog Tour: Worlds of Ink and Shadow by Lena Coakley {Review + Giveaway}

Release date: January 5, 2016 Author info: Website | Twitter | Facebook Publisher: Amulet Pages: 352 Format: Egalley Source: Publisher provided for review Buy the book: Barnes & Noble | Amazon | The Book Depository Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne. The Brontë siblings have always been inseparable. After all, nothing can bond four siblings quite like life in an isolated parsonage out on the moors. Their vivid imaginations lend them escape from their strict upbringing, actually transporting them into their created worlds: the glittering Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy Gondal. But at what price? As Branwell begins to slip into madness and the sisters feel their real lives slipping away, they must weigh the cost of their powerful imaginations, even as their characters—the brooding Rogue and dashing Duke of Zamorna—refuse to let them go. Gorgeously written and based on the Brontës’ juvenilia, Worlds of Ink & Shadow brings to life one of history’s most celebrated ...
