Stacking the YA Shelves (Jan. 19, 2014)

Tynga of  Team Tynga's Reviews hosts this meme to spotlight the books we receive each week. I guarantee that your TBR pile will grow when you see all the wonderful books everyone gets.

Bought
Delia's Shadow by Jamie Lee Moyer - I have wanted this book for a while. I was waiting for a good used copy at Amazon Marketplace.

The Shifter by Janie Hardy - This first book in the Healing Wars series was recommended on one of the many blogs I read. This is also a used copy from Amazon Marketplace.
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - This graphic novel is the first in the series. It was also an Amazon Marketplace find. 

The Diviners by Libba Bray - During my last purge of my YA TBR shelves, my copy of The Diviners was donated to my HS Media Center mainly because it had been sitting a while, was large, and was on the shelf where I needed more room. When I saw that the Kindle copy was on sale, I decided that it was fate that I have this one. 

Review
As a science fiction fan, I couldn't pass up a chance to read Elusion by Claudia Gabel and Cheryl Klam when I saw it at Edelweiss. This one will be released on March 18.

Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel was the first of my requests from 2014 Spring Macmillan Children's Publishing Group catalog to arrive. It will be released on May 13.

What did you get this week? Leave me a link.

  14. Looks like you got lots of great new books! I have been wanting to read Delia's Shadow because I love the cover and have heard great things about it. I haven't heard of The Shifter- but the cover is beautiful and I like the sound of it. Enjoy and happy reading.
