Stacking the Shelves: February 2014

Stacking the Shelves is a book haul hosted by Tynga's Reviews

Hello, Krusty Krew! I'm finally back in business after such a long time! University work got in the way of me being able to read just for fun since I'm studying for a degree in English and obviously have a lot of reading to do, as my 'read for uni' shelf on Goodreads shows. All the work has calmed down a bit so I finally have time to read for myself and it feels just awesome. So I figured, why not get back into blogging, which I really really missed? And here I am!

Bought this month:

I've been in the mood to read more contemporary books recently, and I feel like I don't read enough contemporary so I've been looking around for some good books of the genre every time that I go into a bookshop. Feel free to recommend some good contemporaries to me, I'm always open to suggestions!
Most exciting non-bookish purchase (I'll be including one of these every month from now on!):

I've been waiting for his latest album incredibly feverishly and it only came out on Monday, which was when I actually ran to HMV to buy it (it's a good thing that my uni is located in the city centre). I literally did this when I saw it:

I'm still doing it now because it's so good.

What did you get this week? Leave me a link and I'll pop by!
