There are a couple of really interesting things in this week’s stack. Not that they aren’t all interesting looking books – or I wouldn’t have picked them up. But interesting in different ways from the usual. First unusual thing, or first and second unusual things depending on how you count, is that Bayside Heat by […]
I’m closing this out a day early. I normally put this post together on Friday, but this Friday we’ll be closing on our new house! We’ve held off on making too many concrete plans about what happens next for fear of jinxing the whole thing so as soon as the closing is over we’re planning […]
This is the post-ALA “OMG don’t all the books look shiny!” edition of Stacking the Shelves. But let me be clear, I didn’t walk out with ARCS of any of these – or actually anything at all. These are, for the most part, books I saw or heard about at the conference and then picked […]
It’s a very short stack this week. I’m cutting it off early because I’ll be away this weekend, at the American Library Association Conference in New Orleans. I love New Orleans, and have since the first time I went there at 19. I have fond memories of the place because its the first time I […]
There are three books on this week’s list that have been on my “anticipated” list for quite a while. In the case of one of the books, quite a long while. And the others, of course, also look very, very interesting, or I wouldn’t have picked them up in the first place! For Review: All […]
This was just was on those weeks. You know the ones I mean, where it feels like you’re chasing your own tail, and never quite caught up with yourself. And since I closed the stack early last weekend because we were away, this stack is a bit bigger than it should be. There needs to […]
I didn’t get much this week. And I’m closing the list a bit early because we’re going out of town for the weekend, so this is all I’m going to get. But one thing I did get this week is Cocktales, the anthology to support the authors who have been directly negatively impacted by the […]
To everyone in the U.S., happy Memorial Day 3-day weekend! YAY! More time to read! I’m really curious about An Easy Death. It looks like Charlaine Harris is starting a new series. I loved Sookie and the beginning, but it really, really dragged at the end. I found Midnight to be kind of middling, so […]
Looking around the shelves in my office (and the piles of books on the floor) I’m starting to think I need a library cart just to, well, cart things around. We got some new furniture last week, including a new desk and hutch in Galen’s office. Which necessitated moving two of the bookshelves out of […]
This seems to be the season for long STS lists. Quite a few of these won’t be out until October, so it feels like there ought to be a ten-yard penalty for rushing the season imposed by someone, somewhere. It’s just barely summer, even here, but the fall books are already raining down! For Review: […]
