And we’re back! We’re still unpacking, it’s going to take weeks to sort through the books I picked up even though they are all ebooks, we’re still tired and the cats are all clinging tightly – they forgave us almost instantly and haven’t let us out of their sight for an instant ever since. There […]
Last week’s stack consisted of a whole bunch of September books, so it’s probably not a surprise that these are mostly October books – except for Miss Percy. I needed to work ahead because we’re away for a few days and I couldn’t let a Saturday go by without a Stacking the Shelves – even […]
These are all September books. I’ve been kind of hanging onto this stack – although not in the literal sense because books are heavy – because I knew there were a couple of weekends coming up where I’d be away and this stack would give me the opportunity to get it done ahead and have […]
Yet another short stack. They’ll start getting bigger/taller soon, I think. I’m starting to accumulate candidates for the stack that do not yet have covers, pretty or otherwise, to liven up this post. (It kind of feels like I’m saying that Xmas is coming. More books! YAY!) A short stack doesn’t mean that there aren’t […]
Yet another short stack. ‘Tis the season, clearly. This is a stack that generates more curiosity and anticipation than it invokes pretty – at least for moi – but your mileage may vary. The two books I’m anticipating the most are Blood and Magic and The Hermit Next Door. The one that has my curiosity […]
This week’s stack is short. Like really, REALLY short. Summer just isn’t a big time for new books. Two of the books in this stack won’t be published until 2025 – in the winter. The two with the prettiest covers this week are also two of the creepiest – A Harvest of Hearts and Out […]
Occasionally, Amazon’s attempts to match something-a-likes to whatever you’re searching for gets a bit, well, odd. The first entries for a search for Lightfall by Ed Crocker, I searched for “Lightfall Crocker” figuring that would be enough. The top entry for that search is a The Betty Crocker Cookbook. I get the “Crocker” part but […]
All of the books in this stack will be published in August. I’ve been saving this list for a bit, because, well, August. But I haven’t picked up much this week, so it seemed like a good time to add all of these books – and naturally their covers – to the official stacking. The […]
IMNSHO (In my not so humble opinion) – at least when it comes to book covers, there are two sets of pretty covers here. One set consists of The Lost Bookshop and The Story Collector, because they are both pictures of very pretty fictional libraries, and well, if we didn’t all like books we wouldn’t […]
You know what? They’re all pretty this time around. They’re just not all pretty the same, because the styles and the genres are so different. I’m intrigued by several, also for entirely different reasons. The cover of Echo gives me the shivers, but then, that’s very definitely a wintry Chicago in the background and that’s […]
