Stacking the Shelves: Heroes, Specials, and Allegiants

So I haven't done one of these posts in forever! Putting all of the books I have gotten since then would be crazy, so this is just going to be all of the books I got in October. Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. It's a great way to show other people the books that you've bought or received for the past week!

Monthly Recap: October 2013

I have finally accepted that I won't be able to read as much and as often as I did during the summer and last year. My work load is significantly harder than is was last school year. I could understand not trying and then getting bad grades, but I am definitely not used to working my butt off and STILL not getting good grades! But that is beside the point. The point is I only read three books this month... Three! Ugh.

Books Read:

1. Outpost (Enclave #2)- Ann Aguirre
2. Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone #1)- Laini Taylor
3. The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus #1)- Rick Riordan

Books Reviewed:

1. Prodigy (Legend #2)- Marie Lu
2. Enclave (Enclave #1)- Ann Aguirre
3. Requiem (Delirium #3)- Lauren Oliver
4. The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus #1)- Rick Riordan

Waiting on Wednesday: Night of Cake & Puppets

Waiting on Wednesday's is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Night of Cake & Puppets

Daughter of Smoke and Bone

#2 . 5

Laini Taylor

November 26, 2013

In Night of Cake & Puppets, Taylor brings to life a night only hinted at in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy—the magical first date of fan-favorites Zuzana and Mik. Told in alternating perspectives, it’s the perfect love story for fans of the series and new readers alike. Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her “rabid fairy,” her “voodoo eyes” are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or “Violin Boy,” her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It’s a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter’s night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself! Violin Boy’s not going to know what hit him

Why I Can't Wait: This sounds adorable! Hopefully it will be able to tide me over until the final book comes out next year.

Review: The Lost Hero

The Lost Hero
Heroes of Olympus #1
Rick Riordan

Jason has a problem.
He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper. His best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids", as Leo puts it. What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea—except that everything seems very wrong.

Piper has a secret.
Her father, a famous actor, has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?

Leo has a way with tools.
His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all—including Leo—related to a god.
