This week added possibly a few too many books to the virtual towering TBR pile. Lots of new and interesting books popped up on NetGalley and Edelweiss. And after enjoying The Ninja’s Illusion by Gigi Pandian so much this week, I couldn’t resist buying the earlier books and catching up. Sometime in the hopefully not […]
It’s a good thing that a big chunk of my towering TBR stack is virtual. We just found out we’re moving again. Packing books and unpacking books is a pain, and books in mass quantities add seriously to the weight of what’s being moved. And therefore the price of moving it. As we’ve done before. […]
I have found the plot! No, seriously, I have a copy of The Lost Plot, the next book in the absolutely fantastic Invisible Library series. And even though it doesn’t come out until January, now that I have it, I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist. If you believe that there is magic in […]
Not a big list, but hopefully an interesting one. While waiting out Tropical Storm Irma, I yearned for comfort reads, so I dove into Phryne Fisher’s world, again. While there’s a new eARC in the pile, I also discovered that one of the upcoming books in my reading order was one that I did not […]
We saw Hamilton when we in Chicago this summer. But I hadn’t read the book, yet, and wanted to. I’ve been on the hold list at the library all this time, and my copy finally came in. Ebook, of course. Now I just need to carve out some time to read it. The author has […]
It’s Labor Day weekend in the U.S. That means a three-day weekend for lots of people. Here in Atlanta, that means it’s also DragonCon weekend and Decatur Book Festival weekend. Lots of stuff to see and do. We’ll probably hit the Decatur Book Fair. When DragonCon crossed the 70K attendance line, it just got to […]
I may end up wanting to set the assassins from Markswoman onto the protagonists of The Curious Affair of the Witch at the Wayside Cross. When I read the first Jesperson and Lane book, The Somnambulist and the Psychic Thief, I ended up infuriated. The premise had so much promise, but it failed so miserably […]
Another stack of irresistible (at least to me) books. I will say that August still seems a bit early to be even thinking of Xmas books, but I understand why they’re popping up. Two books on this list I’m particularly happy to have gotten, Seven Stones to Stand or Fall and Terminal Alliance. And they […]
I know, I know. I went a bit overboard again. But they all look so pretty! Or fascinating. Or entertaining. Or all of the above. I really, really need a more powerful round tuit, so that I have more time to read them all. But I’ve already found time to read one! I started Penric’s […]
I went overboard, possibly more than will actually appear. Occasionally I trim the list to force the graphic not to be too ugly, and push a couple/few titles to the next week. One note on this list. I usually listen to one book while at my workouts, while reading one or more others. I tried […]
