Stacking the Shelves/In My Mailbox


Hosted by Tynga's Reviews and The Story Siren respectively

First off I got some great classics from a B&N sale:



I've actually never read these stories before but I'm currently in the middle of Splintered by A.G. Howard which is kind of an Alice retelling so I felt motivated to buy this for a future read. 

Northhanger Abbey by Jane Austen

I'm slightly ashamed to say this but I ended up buying this one mainly because the cover was so darn beautiful.... and it was on sale too! 
Don't worry, I fully intend to read this (eventually).

Persuasion  by Jane Austen

Ever since I finished Pride and Prejudice I have been wanting to read this one and now I finally have it! Huzzah! 








And now for the most exciting book in my haul....

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Sooooo I already have a copy of this from the box set.... but just look it's so shiny and beautiful with extras and- I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT OKAY?

Bought:
Divergent by Veronica Roth
I actually read this book a while back, but never got around to getting a copy for my own collection so when I saw it on sale at the local Marshall's.... I couldn't resist!

Between the Lines  by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
This will be my first Jodi Picoult book and I'm super excited because I've heard fabulous things about her... plus the story has to do with a fairy tale and I just LOVE those.

Brianna has always felt invisible. People stare right past her, including the one boy she can't resist, Blake Williams. But everything changes at a house party where Brianna's charm bracelet slips off and time stands still. In that one frozen, silver moment, Blake not only sees her, he recognizes something deep inside her she's been hiding even from herself.

Discovering she is descended from Danu, the legendary Bandia of Celtic myth, Brianna finds herself questioning the truth of who she is. And when she accidentally binds her soul to Blake, their mutual attraction becomes undeniable.

But Blake has his own secret, one that could prove deadly for them both.


Bound together by forbidden magic, Brianna and Blake find themselves at the heart of an ancient feud that threatens to destroy their lives and their love.


For review:
Ever since Kait Swanney could remember, the old crones of the village have been warning her to stay away from the selkies. They claim that like sirens of old, the seal men creep from the inky waters, shed their skins, and entice women to their deaths beneath the North Sea. But avoiding an encounter becomes impossible when Kait is spotted at the water’s edge, moments after the murder of a half-selkie infant. 

Unexpectedly, Kait is awoken by a beautiful, selkie man seeking revenge. After she declares her innocence, the intruder darts into the night, but not before inadvertently bewitching her with an overpowering lure. 

Kait obsesses over a reunion deep beneath the bay and risks her own life to be reunited with her selkie. But when she lands the dangerous lover, the chaos that follows leaves Kait little time to wonder—is it love setting her on fire or has she simply been lured?


Well that's it for my haul this week. Link me up in the comments--I'd love to see the new books you got!
