Goddess Offerings (50) / Stacking the Shelves (32)

Would you look at that... this is the 50th Goddess Offering post, and this is my first Stacking the Shelves post for 2015. I might've been a little too caught up with other things that's why I rarely post. I will be more active in the blog in the next few weeks though! I've got some interesting things in store for my readers, so watch out for that!

So how is everyone? I am neck deep in planning for and helping out in various bookish events until the end of the year (Marie Lu signing, Filipino Reader Conference, Lang Leav signing, Bloggers Christmas party) so I might be neglecting my blog a bit, but I promise to be back once the craziness is over! In the meantime, here are the books that I got the past few weeks.

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas *

If you notice, this is my second copy of Crown of Midnight. Postal services in my country's really driving us people who order books online crazy. (It's always like this whenever Christmas season is near!) This is a duplicate, as my first copy of Crown of Midnight got resent. Somewhere, someone made a mistake and this got sent to me instead. Not complaining though.
