Sacking The Shelves #77 – BB&B #27
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about the latest additions to your library – virtual or actual, with books that are bought, borrowed, won or ARCs you will be reading soon. BB&B is a homage to to Barron’s Books and Baubles from Karen Marie Moning’s amazing Fever series, and is hosted by Braine over at Talk Supe.
ARCs:
Three Hours (Seven #5) – Dannika Dark
Naya James is a confident woman who also happens to be an exotic dancer. She doesn’t care if people judge her, just so long as they don’t disrespect her. Life has been good, but when two dancers from her club are kidnapped, Naya risks everything to uncover the truth.
Wheeler is the black sheep of the family, evident from his extensive tattoo collection to his dark personality. Nothing like his twin brother, Ben, who can do no wrong. Wheeler’s pack loyalty is put to the test when Austin orders him to act as a bodyguard for a woman he’s despised for years—one who presses his buttons every chance she gets.
A dark secret unravels, uniting two enemies and threatening to fracture the brotherhood of the pack. A tortured soul, a violent past, a fiery romance, and a shocking twist that will leave you breathless.
Kindle Purchases:
Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles #2) – Marissa Meyer
Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison–even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.
Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.
Cress (The Lunar Chronicles #3) – Marissa Meyer
In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.
Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who’s only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

I got the last two audiobooks cheaper because I also bought the kindle version, and I spent almost all of the GC Brandee sent me for my birthday last week 🙂 Thank you Brandee!!
Did you get some exciting-looking books this week? Remember to leave me your link so I can check out your Stacking the Shelves and or Bought, Borrowed and Bagged post, too 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Have a spectacular Saturday.
The Audio books look interesting. I like the cover of the first books. I hope that you love all of them.
Grace @ Books of Love
I just read Cinder, and because I loved it so much, and because audio-lovers told me the audiobooks in The Lunar Chronicles series are good, I just couldn’t resist getting those 🙂 Have a great weekend, Grace!
Yes! The Lunar Chronicles is amazing, I love this series! So far Cress is my favorite. I have Fairest, but I sadly haven’t been able to pick it up yet. Can’t wait to see what you think about these books 🙂
I loved Cinder, so I had to get the next books in the series as well, Tika. Enjoy your weekend!
I love Cat and Bones! I can’t believe that the series is finished now but there have been hints about a spin off book featuring Ian which is exciting! I liked Spade’s book but the other spin offs left me cold. Enjoy your books!
I love Cat and Bones, too! I’ve already read all the books in the series, so the audio is my way of cheating… I don’t usually re-read books, but listening to books is a whole other story 🙂
Have a great weekend, Chuckles!
Ooooh lots of The Lunar Chronicles! I really hope you enjoy it. I’ve loved the first 2 books, now I just need to get around to Cress before Winter comes out! Hope you enjoy all your other new books as well. 😀
I’ve only read the first one so far, Laura, and I loved it. I can’t wait to see what Cress and Scarlet will do for me 🙂
I’m so jealous you have cress and scarlet! Scarlet was £2.00 on Amazon for ages and I debated on getting it but I really don’t need anymore books XD
That means your self-control is much better than mine, Becky. I just can’t resist 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I love Marissa Meyer’s series! I’ve fallen behind and not yet read Cress… but will soon. I love a good retelling and hers is one of the best I’ve read. I hope you enjoy them.
Happy reading!
My StS!
I’ve only read the first one so far, Kim, but it was so well done!
have a great weekend 🙂
Jeanine Frost is amazing hope you love her book. 🙂
MY STACKING THE SHELVES
I’ve already read the Jeaniene Frost books, and I’m really looking forward to listening as well 🙂
Have a great weekend, Christine!
I must be one of the few people who haven’t found time to do audiobooks. Perhaps one day. Enjoy!
I like having an audiobook for when I work out, or if I’m alone in the car 🙂 Have a great week ahead, Shelley.
I see you got hooked on the Lunar chronicles 😉 Enjoy and tell us about it !
Yup, definitely hooked, Iza. I hope I’ll be able to read some of those next week while I’m on vacation 🙂
I have all the Cinder books myself but I haven’t read them yet. They’re victims of my TBR pile but I still want to read them. Enjoy!
Shannon @ The Tale Temptress’ StS
Oh, if you only knew how many books are victims of my TBR pile, Shannon. Cinder had been on my kindle for a long time, and I really loved it, so I figured I needed to have the next books handy for when I want to read them 🙂

Yay, for Molly Harpers Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires!!! I loved that one..oh heck I love all of hers..lol. 🙂
I love Molly Harper’s sense of humor, Stormi 🙂 I really look forward to listening to this one!
I absolutely LOVED Scarlet and Cress! Scarlet is so tough and badass and Cress is sweet and innocent! I can’t wait for Winter!
I’ve only read Cinder, and I loved that. Hopefully, I’ll be all up to speed for Winter’s release 🙂
OOOh nice! I really liked Scarlet and Cress was even more awesome!! Hope you enjoy all your new reads!!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I tend to be hit or miss with Lori Foster but I hope that one is good. Happy reading!

Great haul Lexxie! I do love the Lunar Chronicles. I think they get better with every book! I really need to get around to reading Fairest soon.
I recently finished Cress and Scarlet, and they are so good! Marissa Meyer did an excellent job with them. I was in the minority though, because Cinder is still my favorite out of the bunch. Hope you enjoy your books!
Coincidentally I also purchased Scarlet recently but have yet to read it. I really enjoyed Cinder, though, so I have high expectations for the sequel. I’ve actually heard several times that Scarlet is even better than Cinder (which I thought was great already). Enjoy your reads:)
Love the Night Huntress series! I really need to get caught up on the Lunar Chronicles books, I’ve only read the first one. But since it’s been a long time and I can’t remember anything, I may have to do a reread before continuing.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy your new books 🙂
Awesome haul, Lexxie! I loved The Lunar Chronicles and of course I’m a huge fan of the Night Huntress books. Enjoy! 😀
I liked Cinder! I need to try all the others. happy reading lady!
Great haul! I’ve been meaning to catch up on the Lunar Chronicles for a while. I’ve only read Cinder! Enjoy your books. 🙂
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Great haul! I´d love to read the Lunar Chronicles, but for now I´m trying to cut down on the buying of books. It´s not easy though, and yesterday I just had to buy a book about Astrid Lindgren. From 1971-2002 she and a young fan exchanged letters and these are now rendered in this book.
Så må jeg bare si tusen takk for de utrolig koselige kommentarene du legger igjen hos meg 🙂 Syns bloggen din er både inspirerende og fin, og jeg lurer litt på om du bor i England eller USA? Jobber du som lærer? Jeg bor i Brønnøysund og jobber på Ark Bokhandel, virkelig drømmejobben 🙂 Ønsker deg en flott helg, hilsen Anette 🙂 http://www.anettesbokboble.com
There is still time for the Lunar Chronicles, Anette 🙂 And I’m jealous of your Astrid Lindgren book! She made my childhood magical!!
Bare hyggelig, Anette 🙂 din blogg er flott, og jeg er alltid glad når jeg finner andre nordmenn. Jeg bor i Genève, reiste hit i 1990 for å lære meg fransk, men jeg møtte en sveitser jeg ikke kunne reise fra 😉 Jeg er ikke ferdig utdannet lærer enda, jeg er vikar, og driver med master i engelsk før jeg endelig får begynne med pedagogi.
Ha en flott helg du også 🙂
Ooh! I absolutely love Scarlet and Cress, I hope you enjoy them! The Lunar Chronicles series is just so so good and I neeed WINTER.

Three Hours look so good! Also molly Harper, she’s so much fun. I’m sure her books in audio are way better than simple reading
Three Hours looks like it will be a good one. hope you enjoy and have a great week.
Is it bad that I still haven’t read Cinder? I mean to pick it up all the time when I’m at work, but I just haven’t yet.
My IMM
I’ve still got to read Cinder. Great haul! Check out my post in the link below.
You grabbed some good looking books, Lexxie! I’m so happy you found something to spend the GC on. 😉 I want to read the Lunar Chronicles myself, so I’m really hoping you enjoy these installments. I’m really interested to see what you think of Lori Foster in audio.
**BIG HUGS**
Nice! I still need to read the Lunar Chronicles. I had hoped to start a few days ago but the read was pushed back a few weeks. Hopefully the wait is worth it! I hope you enjoy all these. Happy Reading!
I’ve only read the first one so far, and I really enjoyed it, Jamie 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
