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, winning through Goodreads First Reads ebook giveaways, and the few physical books I buy at the store.
And because it's been working so well, I will be categorizing the books based on how I obtained them.

Freebies
Tough as Balls by Carla R. - This author is local to Colorado and I met her at the Storybook Brewing book faire back in September.
Pemberley: Mr. Darcy's Dragon by Maria Grace
Trapped by Magic by Nicki Chapelway
I really thought I'd done well in not going overboard with my books this week. I kept my freebies to a minimum, I didn't win an unreasonably large number of books on Goodreads, and I hadn't bought that many books on Amazon...and then I remembered my trip to Basecamp Books and Adventure for small business Saturday, where I did go a little bit overboard. But I got some really good books for a pretty good price (and because my initial total was over $100, I saved 30% on the whole order, so I basically made money on that purchase #girlmath). I also bought way more Christmas books than I need for a single year of the 12 Books of Christmas reading challenge (which has started and is open for holiday book review submissions, even if you didn't sign up for the challenge, I'd love to have you submit your reviews to that linkup to give others ideas for future years!)
What new books did you add to your shelves this past week? Any of my new books you think I should read sooner rather than later?
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 return your visit after my parents have left town tomorrow. - Katie
