Several books in this stack are the latest entries in ongoing series, so they are the ones I’m most looking forward to. They are Haunted by the Past and What Song the Sirens Sang by Simon R. Green. I have to admit that Green’s snarkitude is an acquired taste, but it’s one I acquired so […]
YAY! The lists are getting shorter. And YAY! The plague has left us! It’s been a damn long couple of weeks. There are, as always, a few books in this list that I am REALLY looking forward to – not that I’m not looking forward to all of them to one degree or another. But […]
As I said in the intro paragraph for yesterday’s bloghop, I have the plague. So does Galen. It seems that our cautions and precautions work just fine in everyday life, but just didn’t stand up to being with approximately 14,000 of our friends and colleagues. I’m really glad I don’t even have to think about […]
This is being done ahead, because as you are reading this, I’m at the American Library Association Annual Conference, live and in person for the first time since COVID happened. This particular stack is filled with a lot of familiar faces with new books. I’ve even already read a couple! Notably both Deploying Dragons (the […]
“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” That’s just as true about staying in the emotional place where we are as it is about a physical location. I’ve always used reading as an escape, whether from the everyday, or into a time and/or place that no longer exists […]
OMG it’s my 500th Stacking the Shelves post! Goodness gracious this thing has been going for 10 years! Time flies when you’re have fun – or when you’re reading alot! My first STS post was on May 5, 2012 and it does look a bit different – but surprisingly not all that much! Although the […]
So many books, so little time, so tall the TBR pile. While this can’t all be laid at the virtual door of the “Overachievers’ Book Club”, a lot of it can. And the rest because they’re all just so shiny and picking up new books gives me joy. For Review: Across the Sand (Sand Chronicles […]
I just downloaded my Hugo Voters Packet Friday afternoon. I’m not adding THAT pile to this one even though it will be part of my reading this summer. Because OMG this is already a lot. Howsomever, I will be reading a lot this weekend. I tweaked something awful in Pilates this afternoon and it hurts […]
And here we are again, with another edition of “as the overstuffed bookcase collapses”. The overstuffed-ness of my stacks is probably going to keep going through June. The “judging year” for the Overachievers’ Book Club ends on Halloween, so things should start slowing down. On my own, I do get more books than I can […]
Tomorrow’ Sunday Post is going to include a positively demonic picture of George, in the midst of the destruction he has wrought among the empty book boxes. He clearly was having MUCH too good a time. Or perhaps I just get too many books. Nah, that couldn’t be it. LOL For Review: Babel : Or […]
