THIS WEEK:

Hey everyone! It's been a couple of weeks since I've done a Stacking the Shelves post because I really have not bought any books at all! (I know, pretty shocking!). In fact, I still did not buy any books this week, either. I did happen to get a couple in the mail, though, so I thought that I would go ahead and share those with you!

For Review:

Celtic Portal Receptor by Linda G. Davis
A young adult fantasy fiction novel. The ancient gods and goddesses have moved on to a more modern world - the world of virtual reality and DNA manipulation. When they entered the time portal, they took with them the treasured box that holds the world in balance and their unresolved battle for dominance. Now mortal, two opposing factions are plotting a return to their former glory. Chosen to tip the scales in the balance of power, Fianna, a sixteen-year-old receptor, comes to realize that her presence has unleashed forces she never believed existed. In a world of secret and fluid alliances, it is hard to know who the enemy is. For every good there is an evil, but the odds are heavily weighted against success. Fianna soon discovers that the price of victory may be her life.

Won:  

City Love by Susane Colasanti (arc)
Sadie, Darcy, and Rosanna are living together in New York City the summer before their freshman year of college begins. With no parents, no rules, and an entire city to explore, these three girls are on the verge of the best summer of their lives.

Sadie is a native New Yorker. She is hopeful, romantic, and an eternal optimist who is ready to find her soul mate. Then she meets her dream boy: cute, funny, and quirky in all the right ways. The chemistry between them is unreal. Could he be the one?

Darcy is a free spirit from SoCal with rebellious tendencies and unlimited financial resources. Moving to New York City is just another adventure for her. Darcy wants this summer to be all about boy adventures—nothing serious. But how much fun is too much?

Rosanna leaves Chicago for NYC so she can put her past behind her and reinvent herself. The only thing standing in her way is the grand total of seventy-three cents she has saved. Then she meets a guy who wants to show her the glamorous side of New York—a side that she would never get to experience on her own. If Rosanna doesn't resist, she may find herself in city love.

Told from alternating points of view, City Love captures the moments in each girl's life when everything is thrilling, amazing, and terrifying all at once . . . in a way it will never be again.

  3. I can't even remember the last week that I didn't buy a book or get a free download! That is why I'm drowning in books at the moment...
