April has been a busy month for me and my personal life. That is why I haven't blogged as much as I used to like the past two months. I also haven't bought any book this month. But thankfully, Harper Collins sent me three ARCs that I can feature in this month's Stacking the Shelves post. Thank you, HC Int'l!

This March, I feel like I have purchased quite a number of books, even though I know it's not a lot compared to some people's monthly book hauls. It has been a long time since I bought more than two books in one month. The cause of this impulsive book buying is the extremely low price of some great hardback titles in the bookstore. Honestly, I only wanted to get Lady Midnight because that was the only book I really saved up for. But the other books were so tempting, and when I looked at the prices, I know I just had to grab them and go (after paying, of course).

Now, my March haul...

Hello beautiful people of the blogoverse! This is my first Stacking the Shelves post this year. To be honest, I have not purchased any books since the year began because I have no money to spend on impulsive book shopping extravaganza. I am saving the little cash I have with me for something big. Hopefully, I'll be able to share that soon.

So, let's get on with it. Here is my February book haul...

Hello!

Welcome to my Stacking the Shelves post, the Extended Edition! Why "extended", you ask? Well, because I realized that it has been 364 days since I last shared my weekly/monthly book haul. I missed a lot of times to share the new books I bought and received. So now, I am sharing all the books I got from November 2014 to March 2015 (I did not get anything this April, Sad.).

Here they are...

BOOK HAUL: February 8, 2013 + Winner!

Another great book from Book Sale!
WILDEFIRE by KARSTEN KNIGHT
Cheap, looks brand new and the blurb at the back of the book sounds interesting.
Can't wait for shool to be over and start storming through my TBR pile :)



Every flame begins with a spark.

Ashline Wilde is having a rough sophomore year. She’s struggling to find her place as the only Polynesian girl in school, her boyfriend just cheated on her, and now her runaway sister, Eve, has decided to barge back into her life. When Eve’s violent behavior escalates and she does the unthinkable, Ash transfers to a remote private school nestled in California’s redwoods, hoping to put the tragedy behind her.

But her fresh start at Blackwood Academy doesn’t go as planned. Just as Ash is beginning to enjoy the perks of her new school—being captain of the tennis team, a steamy romance with a hot, local park ranger—Ash discovers that a group of gods and goddesses have mysteriously enrolled at Blackwood…and she’s one of them. To make matters worse, Eve has resurfaced to haunt Ash, and she’s got some strange abilities of her own.

With a war between the gods looming over campus, Ash must master the new fire smoldering within before she clashes with her sister one more time…

And when warm and cold fronts collide, there’s guaranteed to be a storm.

I just want to extend my warmest gratitude to Alishia from Treasured Tales for Young Adults for remembering the bookmark I have won from her blog. It has been more than a year since her contest and I really wasn't expecting to receive it at this point since months already passed. I figured maybe it got lost in the mail or she forgot that I won or something. But she messaged me and she still remembered. So yay! for Alishia.

It may not be a big deal for some but I really appreciated what she did. :) Thank you!!!

A signed Wander Dust bookmark
She even included a short message! (Sorry if the image quality is poor.)
THANK YOU!


Ever since her sixteenth birthday, strange things keep happening to Seraphina Parrish.

The Lady in Black… burns Sera’s memories.

Unexplainable Premonitions… catapult her to other cities.

The Grungy Gang… wants to kill her.

And a beautiful, mysterious boy… stalks her.

But when Sera moves to Chicago, and her aunt reveals their family connection to a centuries old, secret society, she is immediately thrust into an unbelievable fantasy world, leading her on a quest to unravel the mysteries that plague her. In the end, their meanings crash into an epic struggle of loyalty and betrayal, and she’ll be forced to choose between the boy who has stolen her heart and the thing she desires most.

Wander Dust is the breathtaking fantasy that will catapult you through a story of time, adventure, and love.

BOOK HAUL: January 23, 2013

On my "January 7, 2013 Book Haul" post, I have mentioned that I took a nice little trip to Book Sale and found two interesting books that I would really like to buy. Unfortunately, I only had enough money for one book that day.

After about two weeks, I came back to Book Sale. Surprise! Surprise! It was still there. :) Funny thing is, the book was placed on the top most shelf of the store. Since I'm not the tallest person in the world, I really needed help reaching for it. Urgggh!! So I asked the sales lady (the only staff in the store) if they had that stool where you can step on and make your life easier by not embarrassing yourself when you jump and try to reach a certain book.Anyway, she was talking to somebody on the phone and she looked a bit pissed when I approached her. She just pointed where it was and didn't even say a word. Bad customer service!

Sooooo... here it is! It's still in very good condition. A few scratches at the bottom spine, but that can be fixed. :)

BOOK HAUL: January 7, 2013

Pre-loved books are always a pleasure to buy. Not only will you get to buy a book... but you'll get to buy it at a cheaper price. All it takes is a bit of savings from your allowance and the patience to hunt for that book discarded by the previous owner which will soon be in your loving hands.

So my trip to Book Sale actually went pretty well... :) I was actually aiming to find a good YA novel , hard-bound and super cheap (aren't we all looking for that?). Sadly, I found none that tickles my interest. But I found two paperbacks that I actually wanted to buy - one is the first book of a somewhat popular series and the other one I have seen on goodreads. The bad news, though, is I can only afford one. So this is what I bought...
