State of the YA Stack (Feb. 23, 2014)

Posted by Kathy Martin at 6:30 AM
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.

 I added a few books to my stack this week primarily because I can't avoid those Kindle Daily Deals.
The Lost Heir (The Gryphon Chronicles Book 1) by E. G. Foley was on sale along with Jake & the Giant (The Gryphon Chronicles Book 2) this week. I couldn't resist!
The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett was another impulse buy. I recently read Avalon by her. Then I saw an article where she was quoted. Then I saw that her book was featured in a read-alike article. I bought the hardcover both because it was less expensive than the Kindle book and because I can donate it to my HS Media Center after I finish it.

Open Minds by Susan Kaye Quinn got added to my stack after a friend received some promo materials about her new book. When checking Amazon to find out why her name sounded so familiar, I saw that this first book in a series was free. I had to add it.
Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller was anothe Kindle Daily Deal. It sounds amazing. 

What did you add to your stack this week?

    I loved Arnett's AVALON! I haven't read any of her other books though. And I loved both of Doller's books! She's a talented author ^_^

    Thanks for visiting my blog!
