Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted over at Tynga's Reviews. This meme is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in a physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks.
Since I haven't updated my blog in a really long time, I'll include all of the books I've added to my digital TBR recently. I don't buy a whole lot of books anymore, but I'd still like to share the books that have caught my eye and in turn deserved a spot on my (online) TBR shelf. Don't worry, I'll only mention the books that have already come out so you can go out and buy them yourself as well.
