Welcome to the “When Worlds Collide” edition of Stacking the Shelves. Macmillan Publishing, including Tor, dumped their Fall 2018 ARCs into Edelweiss this week, and that always makes my stack explode. The book awards committee that I am on for ALA has also kicked into high gear. I won’t say which books those are (or […]
Even for me, as much as I love seeing new books, the last two weeks’ lists were more than a bit over the top. As in, if they were print books a person would need a ladder to see over the top of the stack! This week’s list is just a tad more reasonable looking, […]
World Book Day is celebrated on April 23. It’s an event that, as it says on its website, celebrates stories and the love of reading. In honor of World Book Day, Amazon is giving away kindle copies of 9 books from its Amazon Crossing imprint, which specializes in publishing books from outside the English-speaking world […]
I certainly got stuff this week. Lots and lots of stuff. And Audible is having a sale, so I picked up more of the Iron Druid Chronicles just as I finished Hammered. Good timing. I know that people have said that it doesn’t wear well later in the series, and I usually try not to […]
I didn’t pick up a lot this week but I did get a couple of things that I’m really looking forward to. Isn’t that always the way? I’m very happy to see a wrap-up for Rhys Ford’s marvelous Sinners series, as well as another continuation (actually it’s a continuation of the continuation) of Jeffe Kennedy’s […]
It wasn’t a big week this week, but I definitely picked up a couple of real winners. I know because I’ve already finished one of them! Tomorrow begins my Blogo-Birthday Week Celebration, kicking off in the wee hours with the April Book of Choice Giveaway Hop. There will be giveaways all week long, to be […]
Happy First Weekend of Spring! Even if it doesn’t feel like Spring yet where you are, it has to be coming. Whether you’re ready for it or not. It is definitely Spring here in Atlanta – to the point where we already have a bumper crop of dandelions in the backyard and need to figure […]
Thank Dog I neither bought any books nor picked up any from the library this week. Because this isn’t just a stack, it’s an absolute haul. And it’s absolutely marvelous. There are so many books in here that were on my anticipated list that I can’t wait to dive in! So many books, so little […]
I could say that it was a weird week. I didn’t pick up many review books, and I didn’t buy anything from Amazon or Audible nor did I get anything from the library. On that oh so famous other hand, I did get eARCs for two books that I am really looking forward to – […]
I’ve already read and reviewed The Night Masquerade. I picked it up because we saw Black Panther last weekend, and I was looking for more Afrofuturism. Then I remembered that I hadn’t finished the Binti Trilogy yet, and it was definitely time to do that. And we’re talking about seeing it AGAIN. The Secret of […]
