*Stacking the Shelves* 3 February 2018


(Titles link to Amazon via Amazon Affiliate links)

Stacking The Shelves is a feature/weekly meme created by Tynga’s Reviews in which you share the books you are adding to your shelves, both physical and virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical stores or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Now, I already have a monthly post I do featuring the books I get in the mail (and it's a lot because I have a serious Goodreads First Reads giveaway addiction), and I'm posting my monthly Read-A-Thon posts again too, which covers the books I receive through Netgalley. And since I am currently technically a displaced person (all my things are packed up on a boat and I don't have a home to call my own at the moment), I'm not currently buying any physical books. So my STS post will feature all the books I've been one-clicking on Amazon or winning in ebook form from Goodreads.

On that note, here are the books I picked up this week (and I'm going to warn you now, it's a lot!)

So that's all the books I picked up this week. It was a completely unprecedented week for ebook wins on Goodreads and that caught me off guard until I started thinking about why that might be the case (ebook giveaways are open to all authors now and hosting price is reduced at the moment, and only about 200 people enter most ebook giveaways. With 100 copies available per giveaway as is most often the case, the odds of winning are quite high.)

What new books have you added to your shelves this week? - Katie

  1. Wow, that is a lot of books! It would probably take me the rest of my life to read all those. I hope you enjoy them!

    1. Truth be told, I will probably not be reading all of them, at least not in the near future. I certainly didn't expect to win this many in such a short amount of time.

      Thanks for stopping by. - Katie

    2. Well...if you need a laugh, I highly recommend All the F*cks I Cannot Give.

  2. I can see why you had to have Savage Beauty, what an awesome cover. I may check out A Bane in Salem as well too. I wish I had caught Kraken when it was cheaper, but maybe I can grab it from the library. So many books, I wouldn't know where to start.

  4. Wow, haven't seen a haul that long in a while! I guess now that they pushed out the international readers, it's a lot easier to win, cause the contestant pool must be smaller. Oh well, win for you, I guess. Except, when are you possibly gonna read all those :DDD

  5. How do you skyrocket your book sales without a bigger platform, email list, paid traffic, or PR?

    It starts by understanding how your readers buy books today, and how you can reach them (without a huge marketing budget).

    I've found something that can show you how.

    Bestseller Ranking Pro provides authors and publishers with live data on every single bestseller list on Amazon for eBooks

    and physical books (all 19,669 of them and counting), as well as advanced video trainings on how to maximize your sales and

    sales rankings on Amazon.

    Check it out here: http://XXX.bsrpro.hop.clickbank.net

    If you haven't met Tom Corson-Knowles yet, the author who created Bestseller Ranking Pro, I think you'll find his story

    inspiring.

    Like most authors who have been in the game for years, the only signs of interest Tom got from publishers were rejection

    letters. After six years of trying to get a traditional publishing deal, he finally decided to self publish his first book on

    Kindle in February, 2012.

    It was a life-changing decision.

    Just twelve months after publishing that first book, he had his first $12,000+ month from Kindle ebook royalties alone!

    You can learn how in this video. These strategies have also helped him and his clients become #1 Amazon bestselling authors.
