BOOKWORMS. It’s the thirtieth stacking the shelves here on For the Bookish! Geez, that’s a lot of posts dedicated solely on the books I got each week. Wonder how many books I’ve talked about total in all thirty posts?

134. I just counted, because that’s the kind of person I am. I just have to know. By Stacking the Shelves #20, I’d gotten 77 books (that would be e-books, library books, and books I now own) and now at 30? 134.

SO anyway, the number will probably be crazy sky-rocketed by #50. Looking through every single one of my STS posts was kind of fun though – seeing what I thought about my soon-to-be favorite books was pretty neat. I was thinking “Oh, look at little innocent me, all naive not knowing that this book WILL DESTROY HER.”

So the books this week, yeah?

(Feat. part of my bed, which is my favorite thing in the world next to books basically.) (Kidding!) (Kind of.)

This week is a GOOD STACK. So many hyped books!

I’m starting from the top!

FLUNKED by Jen Calonita: This has been on my TBR for SO LONG. It just looks like an adorable story. I haven’t read just a simple, light fairy tale-ish MG book in quite some time. =)

WE ARE ALL MADE OF MOLECULES by Susin Nielsen: I really can’t remember how I found out about this one, but it’s also been on my want-to-read list for quite some time. (Although it couldn’t have been that long since it’s only been out since May 2015.) I’m not positive who recommended it to me, but it looks great and I really love the spine! (Because that’s how everyone should rate their books, duh. How it looks on your bookshelf is a big determining factor.) 😉 And who can beat 4 bucks for a hard back, hmmmm?

ONE by Sarah Crossan: Sarah Crossan is Queen. The two books of hers I’ve read – Apple and Rain and The Weight of Water – were amazing. This particular book, One, looks very interesting. The entire book is written in prose, or poetry. And it’s about sixteen-year-old conjoined twins. I’m in.

THE CONSPIRACY OF US by Maggie Hall: I haven’t heard about this one very much beforehand, but Trisha says it’s incredible, and as soon as she told me about it, I had it on hold at the library. I really have no idea what it’s about, but the cover looks fascinating so I’m gonna give it a go!

I’D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I’D HAVE TO KILL YOU by Ally Carter: That. Was a mouthful. To be perfectly honest, I probably never would have picked this book up were it not for Brooke. I specifically remember when I volunteered in my middle school library two years ago, this book was always being checked out. It was all the rage with the girls, but the cover and title just didn’t appeal to me. I’ve got two Ally Carter books borrowed right now – this one and All Fall Down, which I’m more excited for – but we’ll see. Should be interesting?

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by Jay Asher: I’ve heard and seen so much about this one, but… I just don’t know. I’m not sure about the content or the writing or if I’ll DNF or what. It seems a bit depressing – the main character’s best friend has just committed suicide – so I’m not sure if I’ll be in a funk when I finish or ANYTHING. I have no idea what to expect. The premise sounds like a tough topic to tackle, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the author approaches everything. I’m not sure if I’ll be a total emotional wreck or if I’ll not finish after a chapter or two, because I really have NO clue what it’s going to be like. Let’s try it?

GOODBYE STRANGER by Rebecca Stead: When I read When You Reach Me, also by Rebecca Stead, sometime in 2014, I was absolutely flabbergasted. (Don’t think I’ve used that word in a blog post before, but it’s the first thing that popped into my head and hey, first time for everything.) Unfortunately, because I didn’t write a review for it and though I have the memory of an elephant for everything else, if I don’t write a review for a book I tend not to remember it. I just know I LOVED it. (I should probably re-read it.) I’ve been waiting for Goodbye Stranger to hit shelves for months and months, and when it finally did I was too cheap to buy it. Isn’t the library handy?? This book sounds much lighter than the last; a fun middle grade novel will do the trick. 🙂

LEGEND by Marie Lu: Same deal with The Conspiracy of Us, actually. No idea what to expect, I’ve heard a lot of things about this series, the library book is falling apart (which I assume means it’s a loved copy?) annnnd I’m stoked! It’s nice and thick! Interesting cover, too.

THESE BROKEN STARS by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner: I’ve heard of this series for just about forever. It looks cheesy and a little weird: a girl and a boy survive after some space shuttle thingamabob (?) plummets onto their planet and now they’re searching all of space for help and – gasp! – there’s a romance. Soooo… eh? The whole synopsis sounds alright; not sure if it’s my thing but I’ve been proven wrong before. We’ll see.

Also on my Kindle as an ARC:

Isn’t the cover so pretttyyyyy?? I’ve also seen a slightly different version on the author’s blog, but this one was on Gooreads. It’s a WWII historical fiction, based on a true story. A man named Hans and his friend begin creating anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany, 1942. I’m currently reading it and LOVE it. You can get the book on February 22 by the lovely Emily Ann Putzke. Love her, love her name! (I’m not biased I’m really not.)

what are you reading this week? what books have you gotten? and have you read any on my stack?
