The shelf stacks have been shorter in recent weeks. I believe this lull is brought to you by the months of December and January. While there are some books published during that period, there just isn’t a whole lot going on between Thanksgiving and late January. So not many ARCs. I might have a chance […]

I didn’t just get Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop, I’ve already read it. I swear, the entire series is crack. Most marvelous crack, but still crack. I read it in a single night, and now I have another year or more to wait for the next one. ARRGGHH! For Review: The Burning Page (Invisible […]

I had originally planned to wait to get Apprentice in Death from the library, but I caught a cold. I wanted a book that I could get effortlessly lost in, and I finally stopped resisting temptation and just bought the damn thing. It was exactly what I needed. A good book cures all ills, or […]

I keep trying to tell myself that it is good news that I’m not importing a metric buttload of books every week. My self isn’t always listening. And I really, really, really want my hold on Apprentice in Death to come in at the library. I reserved the ebook. I started out #3 on the […]

I got The Blockade and dropped everything to dive into it. Even though I can’t post the review for ages and ages, I just couldn’t resist. Some books are just like that, calling our names in ever more seductive tones until we absolutely must forgo everything to read them immediately. Isn’t it grand? For Review: […]

Wow! This is my 200th Stacking the Shelves post. I know that the official count over at Team Tynga’s Reviews (the host of Stacking the Shelves) is a bit higher than this, but there were a few Saturdays where I either didn’t have much or had something else to post or was out of town […]

I swear that I didn’t pick any books up at MidAmeriCon. I did get a t-shirt but that doesn’t really count, does it? Anytime someone tried to hand me a book I backed away slowly with my hands in the air. We squeezed (squoze) two people’s stuff into one tiny suitcase, so even if I […]

This week’s list is short because I had a very, very early cut off. As you read this, I am in Kansas City at Worldcon, hopefully picking up a few gems but not more than will fit in my suitcase. For Review: A Change of Heart by Sonali Dev Documenting Light by EE Ottoman Nine […]

I didn’t pick up much for the towering TBR pile this week. That’s probably a good thing, as we’re planning to be at Worldcon next week in Kansas City, where there will be all sorts of science fiction and fantasy temptations calling my name from the Dealer’s Room. But I did received my contributor’s copies […]
