Stacking The Shelves is a feature/weekly meme run by Reading Reality 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. So my STS post will feature all the books I've been one-clicking on Amazon and picking up at the thrift store and Barnes and Noble, within reason. Once again I went on a free book blast binge, and added like 90 books to my digital shelves from that, and those books will not be listed here.
On that note, here are the books I picked up this week. All Goodreads First Reads ebook wins unless otherwise specified.
Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo - I grabbed a slightly water damaged version of this at the thrift store, but it was only $2.
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica - Great thrift store thriller find for me this week.
Graceling by Kristin Cashore - Got this book at the thrift store.
Fire by Kristin Cashore - The thrift store had the second book in the series too, which is always a plus.
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover - Got lucky finding this beauty at the thrift store today.
Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid - I've heard so many good things about this, that when I saw it at the thrift store, I just had to buy it.
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver - I found a large print version of this at the thrift store today, and I really wanna read it, so even though I typically avoid large print, I bought it.
The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson - I remember really liking "The Lottery" when we read it in school, so I definitely wanna read more of Jackson's stories. And the book was just $2.
The Black Phone by Joe Hill - I know he's Stephen King's son, so I buy any of his books I find while thrifting.
The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict by Trenton Lee Stewart - I have the first three books in this series from previous thrifting, so I absolutely had to grab this when I saw it on the shelf.
The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard J. Evans - Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it, and I see too much repetition from the WWII era for my liking. And it was $2.
Undivided by Neal Shusterman - This series was recommended to me by a former coworker, and now I'm only missing book 3. I will eventually find it.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson - When I saw this book also on the shelves at the thrift store, I got really excited that I might find a copy of The Haunting of Hill House too (spoiler alert: I didn't).
Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler - Ms. Butler comes up a lot when people are asking for Black History Month book recommendations, so I had to buy this book for my diverse reading.
The Humans by Matt Haig - I enjoyed The Midnight Library and I'm doing a reading challenge this month that includes reading a book with a white cover and my copy is very white. Just had to grab it for $2 (although it looks like it may be on sale for Kindle for the same price right now).
The Bullet that Missed by Richard Osman - I recently read the first book in this series for a book club and enjoyed it well enough, couldn't pass up this third book in the series at the thrift store.
And that's all the books I picked up at my thrift store. Now we'll get into my new digital books.

Christmas in Painted Pony Creek by Linda Lael Miller - I snagged this on sale for just $1.99 (might still be on sale).

The Building that Wasn't by Abigail Miles - This looked like a great spooky season read, and it was only $0.99 (still listed that way on Thursday).
All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness - I was told I should read these books, and finding all three of them for just $2.99 (still listed that way on Thursday) really removed any objection I might have.

So that's all the books I picked up this past week (with the exception of that book blast I mentioned). I was a really big week for new books for me between the thrift store, just winning a whole bunch of ebooks through Goodreads, and seeing so many books I've wanted on sale on Amazon. Now I just need to find the time to read all of them.
What new books have you added to your shelves recently? Anything I should be keeping my eye out for? Which of these books do you think I should read first?
If you're stopping by from the linkup, please be sure to drop a link to your post below so I can make sure to stop by and see all your new pretties. - Katie
