Stacking the Shelves #2

Stacking the Shelves is a meme to share books that I've received for the past few weeks. The books are either bought, borrowed, stolen, or received. This meme is hosted by the awesome Tynga's Reviews!

Wow. Just wow. It must have been forever since I last this feature or a similar one. (2 months, to be exact) *shakes off dust* I'm very sorry and I miss you guys and I wish there are 26 hours/day for extra blogging time and I know I really need to learn how to manage time gah.

So, without further ado... here are the books I'm getting these past few weeks!

Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Levithan and John Green

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Openly Straight and Will Grayson, Will Grayson are books I read for my Academic Journal Writing class in college. I'm very curious in the premise of Openly Straight since it's a different take on LGBT issue. I'm in chapter 2 of Will Grayson, Will Grayson and arrrrgh, would it be bad that I dislike the gloomy will grayson guy already? I'll Give You The Sun has received wonderful praises, so I'm excited for it! Same thing for Landline. Rainbow Rowell is just magic. <3

Playlist for the Dead by Michelle Falkoff

Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid

Miss Marple's Final Cases by Agatha Christie

I received Playlist for the Dead from HarperCollins - thank you! I've read the prologue and I can't wait to continue reading the story. I've got my eyes on Let's Get Lost ever since I read about it in a blog, so I'll make sure to read it very soon! Miss Marple's Final Cases is one of the discounted books in my bookshop. I just have to pick it because Agatha Christie has always been my favorite. :)

Highlight of this week's book: quotations from Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg

GAY GAY GAY RAFE GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY 

GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY RAFE GAY GAY

GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY

Where had Rafe gone? Where was I? The image I saw was so two-dimensional that I couldn’t recognize myself in it. I was as invisible in the mirror as I was in the headline the Boulder Daily Camera had run a month earlier: Gay High School Student Speaks Out.

It's so interesting that the main character feels his identity is defined by only one word: gay. I can't wait to read the rest of the story and hopefully be able to finish this today! :)


What books you got/buy this week? Let me know and we can have a read-along! :)

On a more personal note, I'm taking Russian class this semester and gee was it hard. I'm also taking Film Analysis class though and it was fun! I got to watch Citizen Kane and The Sound of Music. The Sound of Music is beautiful - a must watch for lovers of musical and classical movie! :)

I hope you had a wonderful week as well! Tomorrow I have Monday Muse scheduled and it's full of silly, totally biased things as always haha. Please do stop by tomorrow too! :)

Have a great Sunday, everyone! :)

Stacking the Shelves #1

Stacking the Shelves is a meme to share books that I've received for the past few weeks. The books are either bought, borrowed, stolen, or received. This meme is hosted by the awesome Tynga's Reviews!

Hi everyone! I have done similar meme in the past but this is the first time I do Stacking the Shelves! *shares confetti* I'm currently in summer break so yay for more time to read (and slack!). I actually spent the first week of my break trying to hiking a mountain and am currently spending the second week mourning the sunburn on my face. No one told me that the sun can be cruel in top of the mountain as well. *sad face*

We managed to catch the sunrise!

I'm in Mongol! (or it seems like haha)

Enough about mountain me. Now onto the books!

The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Matthieu

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes

Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume

Out of Control by Sarah Alderson

Harry Potter: Film Wizardry by Brian Sibley

 
I'm currently reading The Truth About Alice and loving it! It's my readalong with lovely Pooja @ On Books!. :) Pooja also recommended me We Were Liars and it seems like I'll enjoy it as well! An Abundance of Katherine, Tiger Eyes, and Harry Potter: Film Wizardry were bought in a book fair few weeks ago. Very happy with the saving in book fair haha. Yesterday I finished with The Art of Lainey, expect a review sometime next week! I'm also giving away a copy of Out of Control in my blog, don't forget to check out the giveaway if you haven't entered! ♥

Highlight of this week's book: Harry Potter: Film Wizardry!

 

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I HELD IT. 160 pages of goodness - a must have for fans of Harry Potter. The price almost costs my limb but thankfully it was discounted about 85%. Long live book fair!

And that's for today's Stacking the Shelves! Have a wonderful Sunday everyone! What's in your shelves this week? Don't forget to leave the link if you're doing similar meme! :)
