New To My Shelves #171

Happy Sunday! Welcome to this week's edition of New To My Shelves (previously known as In My Mailbox (IMM) / Stacking the Shelves (STS) or My Weekly Round Up in the Stacks. This week's posts features just a few of the goodies that have recently arrived, or I've purchased over the past two weeks. You can check out all the goodies that have arrived via my Instagram account. 

For Review
It's been a couple weeks since I last posted a New To My Shelf post. I swear with school coming to end, life has become crazy busy. I wanted to shared a few of the upcoming releases and new releases I've recently received for review. I can not wait to feature these titles on the blog!!



Bought
Aside from my new addiction to pre-ordering books, here are a few that I've picked up recently. The bottom two are for my son. I'm so excited he's starting these two series. 


Thank you to
Simon Teen, Harper Teen, Penguin Teen, Entangled Teen, Random House, and Little Brown for these awesome reads.

I'd love to see what you've recently added to your shelves. Please let me a comment to your post so I can come check it out. Have a great Sunday!

The City of Lost Souls Read-A-Long: Chapter 3


Hello & welcome to day #3 of our City of Lost Souls Read-A-Long. You can find out more about the read along and find the schedule here. There is no right or wrong way to participate. Your comments can be as long or as short as you'd like them to be. 

Today's discussion is about the Chapter 3: Bad Angels
  • Poor Simon. My heart totally breaks for him with how his mom is treating him. I was both surprised, and admired Jordan and Maia for confronting Simon about what's going on. At least he knows they care about him. Do you think Simon will heed their advice and contact his sister? What do you think his sister's reaction to everything will be?
  • So.... Jace and Sebastian. I'm shocked to see the two of them together, and even more surprised that Clary didn't make herself known to them in the library, though I understand why she didn't. What do you think Jace knew she was there? What do think is going on with Jace and Sebastian?
  • Alec and Magnus. I'm started to get a little ticked at Alec for the way he's treating Magnus. Magnus has always been a favorite character of mine, and my heart has always broken for him in the sense that Magnus will know more about love and loss than most characters in both this series and the TID one, considering he's immortal. Why do you feel Alec is stuck on Magnus's past loves, and he being immortal. Magnus can't change who he is. D o you think he's justified in feeling that way and treating Magnus the way he is right now? 
Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading Clockwork Prince for the first time.
