I severely underestimated how long the tail would be for books I saw/heard about/talked to people about at ALA. There are LOTS more in this week’s ginormous stack! For Review: Black Wings by Megan Hart Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks Death in a Darkening Mist (Lane Winslow #2) by Iona Whishaw […]
This is the post-ALA “OMG what have I done” stack. OMG it’s a lot. Before anyone starts thinking about book hoarding and/or taking ARCs that should be reserved for librarians who are still working in libraries, all of these were eARCs. A few were for books that popped up on NetGalley or Edelweiss after I […]
As you read this, I am at the ALA Midwinter Conference, desperately trying not to pick up “all the things” – as in all the books I see pretty much everywhere. Even though I resist the impulse to grab print ARCS as much as I can, I can usually talk the publishers into sending me […]
It didn’t feel like I was picking much up this week – at least not until Macmillan dumped their latest into Edelweiss. As they include Tor Books, that usually fills up my list quite nicely! I’m trying to be a bit better about not grabbing so much when I know I won’t get to them […]
It does look like things are picking back up, doesn’t it? And I still have two books that aren’t on the list because they don’t have covers yet. On the other hand, one of those listed here (Susan Wiggs’ Oysterville Sewing Circle) won’t be published until August and it DOES have a cover. No one […]
The stack is still short. Just barely tall enough to make a decent pancake breakfast – and that’s only after a couple of last minute additions. I actually have two other new books, but they are still sans covers, so I’ll wait to post them. It does look like things are picking back up at […]
This was almost the “Empty Shelf” edition of Stacking the Shelves, but…there was a sale. And something popped up on Edelweiss at the last minute. AND I remembered that there was a book on my “anticipated shelf” at Edelweiss that never did have an available eARC. And so on and so forth. And, as always, […]
This would be the pre-holiday edition of Stacking the Shelves – but my holiday has already happened. Hanukkah was a couple of weeks ago, but New Years is still to come. So the mid-holiday edition. Your thoughts on this may vary, depending on exactly which holidays you do or don’t celebrate during this season. Whatever […]
I didn’t get a lot this week, but what I got was definitely choice! For Review: Fifty Things that Aren’t My Fault by Cathy Guisewite Gather the Fortunes (Crescent City #2) by Bryan Camp The Hound of Justice (Janet Watson Chronicles #2) by Claire O’Dell The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie Purchased from Amazon/Audible: The […]
What is it about traveling? Probably all the recycled air and recycled germs on the plane and in the airport. We both came back from our Thanksgiving trip with whatever crud is going around, and let me tell you, it’s really nasty crud. There’s been a whole lot of coughing, and sneezing, and coughing around […]
