IMM/Stacking the Shelves #1

Welcome to this weeks IMM/Stacking the Shelves!

In My Mailbox and Stacking the Shelves are weekly memes held by Tynga's Reviews and The Story Siren. Here we share all the new and amazing books we acquired over the past week! 

The Evolution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #2)The Essence (The Pledge, #2)Gates of Paradise (Blue Bloods, #7)

The Evolution of Mara Dyer - Michelle Hodkin
The Essence - Kimberley Derting
Gate of Paradise - Melissa De La Cruz


I went on a little library splurge after my exams to get these awesome books! I am so excited to get back into these worlds as all three of the books are sequels. Also, I'm actually currently reading The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and I'm really enjoying it so I can't wait to finish it and jump right into the sequel! And not to mention, the LAST BOOK in the Blue Bloods Series. This series has been more of a feel good series for me. The books aren't the best pieces of literature but I still enjoy them and I can't wait to see how it all ends!

So, What's New On Your Shelves This Week?

Waiting On Wednesday (7)


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The Pledge
Kimberly Derting
Release Date: November 15, 2011

The Pledge (The Pledge, #1)


In the violent country of Ludania, the language you speak determines what class you are, and there are harsh punishments if you forget your place—looking a member of a higher class in the eye can result in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina (Charlie for short) can understand all languages, a dangerous ability she’s been hiding her whole life. Her only place of release is the drug-filled underground club scene, where people go to shake off the oppressive rules of the world they live in. There, she meets a beautiful and mysterious boy who speaks a language she’s never heard, and her secret is almost exposed. Through a series of violent upheavals, it becomes clear that Charlie herself is the key to forcing out the oppressive power structure of her kingdom…. 
Summary taken from Goodreads.
Oh boy, am I excited for this book! It sounds amazing! I think this is a wonderful take on a dystopian society. I mean different languages representing the social classes just sounds brilliant! I've also heard great things about Kimberly Derting and her debut series, the Body Finder. I haven't read them myself yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to doing so :)
