Stacking the Shelves (#10)


It's Saturday and so it's time for Stacking the Shelves!
Here is my haul from this week:

E-books



The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy, #1) by Marie Rutkoski

 This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales

 Both of these have been on my TBR list for quite some time now, so it was good to finally get them! Have you read these and if so, what are your opinions of them?

    I just looked up TSWSYL on Goodreads and it definitely sounds like the kind of thing I want to be reading right now. I haven't seen it in any of the Aussie bookshops I've been to though. Kindle, here I come.
