Stacking the Shelves: February Book Haul Part 2

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Every week, bloggers post the books they bought that week. This week, I got four books, and I hope these will be the last books I buy this month because together with last book haul, it's becoming quite expensive.


1. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo 


I recently read The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo and I really enjoyed it! I hear Six of Crows is even better, so I can't wait to read it!

2. Starflight by Melissa Landers


I heard someone compare this book to The Lunar Chronicles, so I can't not pick it up. The only problem I have with this purchase, is the fact that it is an expensive hardback. This is not actually a book I want in hardback as it the book itself is quite plain beneath the dustjacket, just black with the title on the spine and no endpapers. If this book would have been available in paperback, I would not have hesitated to pick it up. So the story better be good!

3. Les Misérables by Victor Hugo


I hoped to join the read-along of this book on the blog: 
smartdamescleverbooks.blogspot.com, however, this blog has been removed, I don't know what happened but if anyone has more information about the read-along and if others are still going through with it, I would like to know because otherwise I probably bought this book for nothing.

4. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy


I recently watched the BBC adaptation of War and Peace and I loved every second of it! Therefore I wanted to read the actual book as well! However this book is huge! It's more than a thousand pages long (and very heavy to lift)! I will probably need a little encouragement to read the entire book. If anyone is interested in doing a read-along or buddy read, definitely let me know! I bought the Vintage Classics hardback edition and it's so beautiful!


Have you read any of these books or are you planning to? And which books did you buy this week? Let me know down below!

  3. I have read all of these books except Starflight. Victor Hugo is a wonderful writer, but he sometimes can go off on a tangent for pages and pages and then finally get back to the story. It can be quite frustrating. But Les Miserables is a masterpiece for a reason. I hope you take your time and enjoy each of these books.
