Compared to last week’s Stacking the Shelves, this one is one whole column less stacked. Really, truly.
And some of there are a couple of these that just kind of, well, showed up. I’ve gotten on some publishers’ lists to get print ARCs. At least, I think that’s how the print ARCs make their way to my doorstep.
The whole concept of the Stacking the Shelves meme is that we get to give a little bit of love to those books that make their way to us whether or not they will ever get full review treatment. Or, for that matter, whether or not we have a clue why they arrived in the mail.
Tynga’s Reviews hosts Stacking the Shelves. I am one of the many eager participants.
One egalley on my shelf this week that I’m beyond thrilled about is Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. This is the sequel to The Discovery of Witches, which was awesome. Shadow of Night has been on my wishlist since I first heard about it. And officially since it first showed up on NetGalley, way back. But I didn’t get it from NetGalley. It turned up on Edelweiss, and I got it from there. So if you also want Shadow of Night, check Edelweiss.

Everything is an ebook unless specifically stated otherwise. That’s why I’m always surprised when a print ARC comes in the mail.
I’m planning to treat myself to some of these for the Memorial Day weekend. What about you? Any special reading planned for the weekend? Or are you stocking up for the summer at the beach?
What stacking up on your shelves this week?
Wow some fantastic books this week! Enjoy 🙂

Wow! Thanks for becoming a follower. You’ve got some great stuff in your haul, too. Those kindle freebies are always so tempting, aren’t they?

Nice haul – I see a few titles there I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on.
New follower, by the way.

Thanks for following! I’m curious which ones interested you? And I saw your garage sale finds. Neat!

You got a TON of books! I hope you enjoy them all! I haven’t read any of them so I can’t really give you any recommendations as to what to start first, though. 🙁
For Memorial Day Weekend, I’m just going to try and get a bunch of blog posts done.
Check out my Stacking the Shelves!

I know just what you mean about hoping to get some blog posts done. I’ve been running like crazy for two weeks–this is my chance to catch up to myself.
Some of this week’s haul was books for scheduled tours that I’ve been waiting for, so I’m glad to see them. But there’s always something!

I am so jealous (Is this post showing up green?). I asked for Shadow of Night from both NetGalley and Edelweiss and haven’t’ gotten it from either one. I guess I will just have to wait for it to be released.

I was ASTONISHED when the approval for Shadow of Night came through. On the other hand, you got Redshirts, and I’m absolutely dying of envy over that one, so I think we might be even!

The Pleasures of Men looks so good! I hope you enjoy all you got 🙂
Here’s my STS!
It does look good, and my ARC has a different cover that’s actually better looking than the one online. More suggestive and less cartoony. I’ll find out how good it actually is.
Marlene Harris recently posted..On My Wishlist #11
Wow, I haven’t heard of any of these books. It’s hard to believe. I feel like I’ve heard of everything, even though I know that that really isn’t true.

My problem is that I try to read everything I hear about. Makes for a LOT of late nights. And there are always more books to love!
Marlene Harris recently posted..On My Wishlist #11
You’ve got Shadow Of Night??? I’m green with envy here! I hope it’s every bit as good as the previous book. Enjoy your stack of books! 🙂
Mirjam recently posted..Stacking The Shelves #2
I’m still trying to figure out what the “magic words” were that worked this time. I’ve requested it 3 times on NetGalley and no answer. Edelweiss and voila!
I just looked at your stack and wow. Great stuff there!
Marlene Harris recently posted..On My Wishlist #11
Wow, So many books!
Letterbox Love!
Lots of good books you got! Great haul 🙂
Happy Reading 🙂
