Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga’s Review. Here are the books I acquired this week.
Paladin by Sally Slater: I’m in the mood for some Mulan-esque action: cross-dressing shennanigans & female warrior. This book has been getting good reviews, Kindle had it for less than $3, so it’s a no-brainer purchase.
The Martian by Andy Weir: I was attracted mainly by the pretty cover and the glowing reviews about how great the research was for this book. Since reading it, I also found out that it’s going to be a movie starring Matt Damon (!!!) later on this year! Review to come.
Throne of Glass & Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas: I’ve tried reading Throne of Glass in the past, but it never managed to grip my attention. Since reading ACOTAR, I’ve wanted to try this series again. I picked up the first two books hoping that I will love them!
Have you guys read any of these books? Did you enjoy them?

Great haul! I really want to check out The Martian after watching the movie trailer. It sounds so amazing! I hope you have an awesome week. 🙂

I’m so happy there’s a movie, I kept thinking throughout the book that this would make for an epic viewing experience. Plus, Matt Damon ❤ <3!
Thanks Krystianna, wishing you a great & bookish week as well 🙂

I picked up Throne of Glass a few weeks back, but I haven’t read it yet. I heard such great things about it, though!

I DNF’d Throne of Glass when it first came out… but it’s the crazy popularity that you mention which made me want to try read it again. A million fangirls can’t be wrong… right?
Thanks for commenting Sandy 🙂

Sounds like a great haul! I have only recently gotten into the blogosphere, and have been hearing a lot about Throne of Glass. Will be keen to see what you think of it!

Thanks for commenting Siobhan. I admit to finding parts of Thrones of Glass hard to read because Caelena is totally not the awesome assassin she’s made out to be… I will read the 2nd book as well before I make a judgment, though 🙂

Good ones here! I want to make sure to read The Martian before the movie too 😉

It was pretty good and very much in a genre of its own, definitely worth a read 🙂
