Welcome to the ALA Midwinter edition of Stacking the Shelves. What that really means is that I actually went crazy on Netgalley and Edelweiss last week, and split the haul between two posts so I’d have something to post today. I’m actually downtown in the middle of the conference, probably in a meeting. Perpetually in a meeting. It’s the nature of things.
Next week’s shelf stacking will include whatever I pick up on the conference floor. It’s dangerous having the conference in my town – I don’t need to worry about luggage weight limits and can haul anything my back can get off the floor. Scary, isn’t it?

Borrowed from the Library:
A Cold Treachery (Inspector Ian Rutledge #7) by Charles Todd
A False Mirror (Inspector Ian Rutledge #9) by Charles Todd
A Lonely Death (Inspector Ian Rutledge #13) by Charles Todd
A Long Shadow (Inspector Ian Rutledge #8) by Charles Todd
I’m interested to see all the Inspector Rutledge books recently. I really loved this series initially, but gave up on it (around book 8 or so?) because I found it so repetitive and unrelentingly depressing. Maybe you’ll give me hope that I should give it a second chance.
I was also interested to see the Morcai Battalion book. A long time ago, I had one of them (the first one?) in HB, but finally gave it away unread. I hope you’ll be the guinea pig for this series, as well, to see if it’s worth trying.
