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 […]
A relatively short stack this week, but still with PLENTY of interesting books on tap! YAY! The prettiest covers look to be It Takes Two to Torah, Key Lime Sky and A Vengeful King Rises – with an honorable mention for The Hero She Craves. Ahem. Definitely ahem. This is a week where it’s damn […]
What have we here? A stack of brand-new books – and not an overly tall stack at that. YAY! There are more pretty covers than not this time around – although there are a couple of boring ones to balance them out. (We’ll just not say which ones they are so as not to embarrass […]
I picked up the Colleen Gleason series because I got reminded that Colleen Gleason is a pseudonym for Colleen Cambridge – or the other way around. So far I’ve adored her Julia Child mysteries, the series that started with Mastering the Art of French Murder, so the idea of the same marvelous voice – the […]
I think it’s pretty clear why those Conrad the Cat Detective mysteries by LT Shearer are in the stack. How could I resist? The covers aren’t particularly pretty, but I never can resist a good mystery that features felines, whether in starring or supporting roles. We’ll just have to see if this one lives up […]
This is the official 600th Stacking the Shelves post at Reading Reality. It hasn’t always been called “Stacking the Shelves” and I haven’t always been the host but here we are lo these many, Many, (MANY) moons later with STS #600. I had to check, and my very first STS was posted almost 12 years […]
I’m getting “interesting” vibes from this stack of covers a whole lot more than I am “pretty”. Your mileage almost certainly will vary. In fact, I’m really curious to see which covers you think are the prettiest in this bunch. The book I’m most looking forward to is Candle & Crow – although I’ve heard […]
Yet another eclectic group of books. As always, this is a combination of books for my current committee, books I’ll be reviewing for Library Journal, and books I just plain want to read. Speaking of which, the book that I’m anticipating the most out of this batch, the one I’ve been salivating over for months, […]
