I think that Macmillan dumped their latest catalog into Edelweiss about five minutes after I closed last week’s Stacking the Shelves. Which gave me a week to privately chortle with glee over getting the eARC for Network Effect. I absolutely LOVE Murderbot and can’t wait to read its next story. I’m also thrilled to get […]
It was clearly a very brief drought, at least on the book front. A friend who shares my tastes in books and video games recommended the Nora Roberts series. I’m hit or miss with Roberts, although I love her In Death series as J.D. Robb. But it was a strong recommendation from someone I trust […]
Another short stack this week. NetGalley and Edelweiss are showing more of next year’s books than this year’s books, but not all that many of either. That will change after the holidays, which are coming thick and fast and way too soon. I’m typing this on Halloween and it feels like the end of the […]
It’s easy to see that the calendar year is winding down in the publishing world just by the size of this stack. Most books appear in Netgalley and Edelweiss a few months in advance, but three months from now is January-February which are pretty much the doldrums as far as publishing is concerned. I used […]
I didn’t buy anything this week, in spite of the short stack. I’m surprised. Or it’s just the both the books I’m reading and listening to are awesome and didn’t feel the need. Still, it is a short stack. So short that I put Deal with the Devil in with a very much “not yet […]
It’s weeks like this that make me realize just how badly I’m affected by tsundoku. My stack looked so tiny that I couldn’t resist getting more audiobooks from Audible. And they had a sale. And I finished Jade War Friday afternoon and it was just SO AWESOME! I’ve been loving all of the SF and […]
It’s still summer in Atlanta. Maybe not according to the calendar, but it’s supposed to be in the 90s again this weekend. Forecasts say the temps will finally start dropping this week, but, as the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” So far this “Fall” we’ve been getting way […]
I know this list looks long, but it isn’t really. It also sort of is. Confusing, isn’t it? I didn’t get many review copies this week, but there were multiple irresistible sales at Amazon and Audible. The Forward Collection is a freebie for Prime Members, and Audible is doing another one of their sales on […]
A short stack this week, which is a good thing as my planned reading for various other things has gone into (over)full swing. I can’t believe we’ve started on the “Best of 2019” activities, but it’s already begun. It’s barely fall. It’s not really fall here at all. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies […]
This was going to be a short stack, at least until Tor Books dumped their Winter ARCs into Edelweiss. So many completely irresistible books. One of the books in this week’s stack won’t be out until the end of May! If time flies when you’re having fun, then it goes at warp speed when you’re […]
