*Stacking the Shelves* 27 January 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. 

On that note, here are the books I picked up this week.

Jackpot by Anita Renaghan - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
The Tragedy of Woman by Ray Dacolias - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
The Birdwoman's Palate by Lakshmi Pamuntjak - I got this book for free as part of the Amazon First Reads program (used to be Kindle First). It's one of 6 books available for January and I finally made my choice this past week. 
Bayou Myth by Mary Ann Loesch - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
Undeniable by Serena Grey - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
Escape from Prague by Colin Knight - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
The Light of Supremazia by Alana Mag - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
What We All Have by Ray Dacolias - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
Penstock Canyon by Christopher Church - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
5-Minute Book Marketing for Authors by Penny C. Sansevieri - I won a copy of this ebook through the Goodreads First Reads giveaway program. 
The Fun Knowledge Encyclopedia Volume 2 by Bill O'Neill - I snagged a copy of this book as a freebie (still free). I'm pretty sure I got a review request for it stating that it was currently free on Amazon, so while I can't guarantee that I'll get it read in the near future, I liked the sound of it enough to download it for free. 
No Win With a Twin by Daniel Shneor and April Peter - I snagged a copy of this for free (no longer free) because I got an email review request (I think to my personal account not my blog account) stating it was free yesterday. I like free kids books and this one looks cute. 

So that's all the new ebooks I picked up last week, and almost every single one came from Goodreads. So far I've gotta' say that Goodreads policy changes (ie: charging to host giveaways but allowing anyone to host Kindle giveaways) has resulted in me winning even more books than normal, but they're almost ALL Kindle copies. Not going to trust those results fully until after the introductory discount on hosting giveaways expires though as I'm sure more people are taking advantage of the current discount. 

So what new books did you pick up this past week? - Katie
