Stacking the Shelves (1)

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews! It is a great way for others to share what books they got over week. These are books that you got from the store, online, trade, borrowed from a friend, the library, review books, gifts, and ebooks.
Hey my lovelies!! I will not be doing this meme every week. Money is tight but I do have books on my shelves that I haven't even touched yet! But this week I picked up a couple of books and got two books for review. We will start with the books I got for myself.
I picked up these 4 John Green Books
Looking for Alaska [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]
Paper Towns [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]
An Abundance of Katherines [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]

I also picked up The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]
Catching Fire [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]
Mockingjay [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian trilogy, that includes mayhem, violence, bloodshed, and one hell of a government! 
Many people enjoyed the Bad-Assery of The Hunger Games; I was very skeptical though. I have never really been a fan of dystopian novels due to the fact that I am not a ROBOT! I cry very easily and get emotionally attached to the characters I read about. SO the fact that there is killing going on TERRIFIES me to a level of bibliophilic despair! I'm torn between possibly reading the best dystopian set books I've ever read or crying my eyes out and being sad for a couple of days! I have bought the books, but I have only gotten to chapter 5 of The Hunger Games. I stopped to continue with school required reading, and I'm now still very skeptical of reading it. Please comment and tell me what you think!

The 2 books I got for review are
Pledged by Gwynneth White [Goodreads]

Arson by Estevan Vega [Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes&Noble]

I had a great week! What did you get! I would really love to know! Let me know in the comments below!

  1. Great haul! I have yet to read a John Green book btu I've heard such great things about them! I saw Looking For Alaska at my bookstore for $2 the other day and I regret not picking it up ): I also really want to buy the Hunger Games trilogy but I want the classic version! Hope you enjoy your books (:

  2. I also got Pledged this week (even though I forgot to mention it in my haul *facepalm*) and The Hunger Games trilogy was actually really good, but I hope you don't get too attached! :( I don't have attachment issues a lot, unless the book is REALLY good. I hope you enjoy, though!

  4. Great set! I love The Hunger Games. I have never liked dystopia, but I ate those books up. Love John Green although I've only read Will Grayson and Fault in our Stars.

    1. My first John Green book was The Fault in Our Stars and it was amazing after some research I decided it was time to invest in my own copies of all his books :)
