This turned out to be one of those weeks where there was just more of everything. And Amazon is still celebrating World Book Day by giving away kindle copies of 9 international books. The giveaway continues for a few more days, if you want to get in on the fun! For Review: All But the […]
Ouch! This one got kind of big, didn’t it? Oodles of things came in for my committee, for a contest I’m judging, and just because they looked good. And some thing fell into more than one category – but not nearly enough! Some of this is tsundoku, that fear of running out of things to […]
Yesterday was my birthday, and I seem to be having a bit of a sad about it. I’m not sure whether it’s the birthday, that the number of birthdays is so many at this point, that the people who knew me way back when are all either deceased or no longer part of my life, […]
Audible was having a sale. A whole bunch of really interesting audios for $5 each. I had to restrain myself! A couple of books that I’ve been waiting for popped up on NetGalley and Edelweiss. It was a good and interesting week for new books. I always look forward to Diesel’s adventures (The Cat in […]
Not so huge this week. I’m hopeful that this will be the new normal. There’s a book in this stack that I want to start YESTERDAY and I can’t. I have too many in the queue that are due immediately. But I want, I want, I want to read Wolf Rain SO BAD! For Review: […]
I can’t call this a small stack, but it is slightly less large than the past few! For Review: The Age of Light by Whitney Scharer The Alchemist of Lost Souls (Bianca Goddard #4) by Mary Lawrence Catfishing on CatNet by Naomi Kritzer End Transmission (Galactic Cold War #3) by Robyn Bachar The Extinction Agenda […]
There’s a part of me that is afraid, very afraid, that the stacks for the rest of the year are all going to look like this. I have things for my committee, things to review for the LJ and thing that just looked good. And I have a lot of them. So many books, so […]
This very tall stack is the last – but far, far, far from the least – of the ALA Midwinter fallout. Hopefully I’ll be back to the usual dozen or so books next week. Putting this together is a monster! Also, inlinkz has unfortunately dropped their “classic” version, so the link up is a bit […]
I am doing this super early this week. We’ll have just gotten back from another trip sometime in the wee hours of this morning, and I hope to goodness I’m still sleeping while you read this. I’m still processing the post-ALA fallout onto my shelves, and this post is MUCH easier to prep from my […]
This is still mostly ALA fallout. Or fall in. Or books falling on my virtual shelves. However one wants to frame that. I’ll be dealing with this fallout for at least a couple more weeks. It’s a good thing this stuff is 99% ebooks, or the UPS person would totally hate me! For Review: Beautiful […]
