StackingTheShelves

Stacking the Shelves is a thing where we talk about the books we’ve collected in the past week. These can be bought, delivered, ARCs, ebooks, etc.. Pretty self-explanatory.
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tygna’s Reviews

This week, in honour of the new year, I’m doing things a little differently.

I’m doing a post on ALL the books I bought this year!

It’s going to be epic.

Also, please note, I have actually been working on this post since October. This thing has taken me 3 MONTHS to create.

Enjoy.

And before anyone yells at me for breaking my book-buying-ban, I would like to point out that I only bought one of these books (Sacrifice), which is on my list. The other three were bought by a friend of mine because I recently helped her move, and will help her with her physics test (she pays me in books, it’s awesome).

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is a thing where we get given a topic, and we have to list our ‘top ten’ things for the topic. Pretty self-explanatory.
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This Week’s Topic: Top Ten Books on my Spring TBR list

Originally, this was a ‘Fall TBR list’, but in Australia, there is no Fall (we call it Autumn), and Autumn doesn’t happen until March, so I changed it to Spring…figured it made sense…

I’m splitting this list into two. The first 5 will be books that aren’t out yet, the last 5 will be books that are already out.

Books not out yet:

1. Sacrifice, by Brigid Kemmerer

2. Blood of Olympus, by Rick Riordan

3. Talon, by Julie Kagawa

4. The Retribution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin

5. Blue Lily, Lily Blue, by Maggie Stiefvater

Books already out:

6. The Uprising, by Lisa M. Stasse

7. The 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey

8. We Were Liars, by E. Lockhart

9. The Maze Runner, by James Dashner

10. Revenge of Seven, by Pittacus Lore

And bonus (because of the Between the Covers Book Club):

11. Disruption, by Jessica Shirvington

Waiting On Wednesday: Sacrifice

Brigid Kemmerer, Sacrifice, Waiting on Wednesday

Hosted by Breaking the Spine

Sacrifice

Author: Brigid Kemmerer

Release Date: 30 September, 2014

Synopsis (from Goodreads): One misstep and they lose it all. For the last time.

Michael Merrick is used to pressure.

He’s the only parent his three brothers have had for years. His power to control Earth could kill someone if he miscalculates. Now an Elemental Guide has it out for his family, and he’s all that stands in the way.

His girlfriend, Hannah, gets that. She’s got a kid of her own, and a job as a firefighter that could end her life without a moment’s notice.

But there are people who have had enough of Michael’s defiance, his family’s “bad luck.” Before he knows it, Michael’s enemies have turned into the Merricks’ enemies, and they’re armed for war.

They’re not interested in surrender. But Michael isn’t the white flag type anyway. There will be blood on the ground tonight…

Why this book?

Every book in this series (except for the first one) has made me cry my eyes out. Also, so far, each book has been better than the last one…so I’m expecting this to be fantastic.
