I didn’t get much this week, and that is a good, good thing. Not because I don’t love getting tons of books, but because we’re away at the moment and this post is an utter pain to do without my double-screened desktop. So here we have them, the few, the proud, the books I picked […]
Another quiet week here in the shelf-stacking room. And looking at the list, it seems to have been Lauren Dane week. I love her books, but I didn’t expect to be grabbing them all at once. Today was very odd. Edelweiss was down for part of today (Friday) and it was surprisingly upsetting not being […]
Not a lot this week, and a lot of what there is turns out to be fantasy or science fiction. The one on the list that made me squee with glee is An Ancient Peace by Tanya Huff. It’s set in the same universe as her absolutely marvelous Confederation series, which is much better known […]
I still can’t believe I picked up a Christmas book. I’m not sure which disturbs me more, that it’s barely July and I’m getting Christmas books, or that the book will be released at the end of September. Too soon, too soon! Ten yard penalty for rushing the season. But it’s a book in a […]
Before I forget, I want to wish everyone in the U.S. a Happy Fourth of July and everyone in Canada a Happy Canada Day. Those of you who got a long weekend for one of the holidays are probably off somewhere celebrating and not blogging, but we’ll still be here when you get back. And […]
Today, I am in San Francisco at the American Library Association Annual Conference, surrounded by aisles and aisles and piles and piles of books and ARCs. I will be desperately attempting to resist temptation, or at least channel it into requests for NetGalley and Edelweiss eARCs instead of overloading my suitcase. Again. <sigh> For Review: […]
I knew that this week would make up for last week. I just didn’t realize how much! Last week I said it was too early to see Christmas books on NetGalley. I spoke much too soon. This week, I saw eARCs on Edelweiss for books that are not scheduled for publication until March 2016! Too […]
Welcome to my shortest book stack ever. I can’t remember a week where I picked up so few books. Admittedly, I’m cutting this week a bit short as well. We’re traveling this weekend, so I had to compile this post on Wednesday. I kinda hope I found something else interesting by the end of the […]
I already own a print copy of Snake Agent, but when I saw the sale dealie from Open Road, I couldn’t resist getting a cheap copy in ebook. I love the Inspector Chen series, which is an Asian-based urban fantasy set in celestial realms that are culturally diverse. It’s an awesome and strange place where […]
I’ll admit that I really love these short stack weeks. But I’m starting to wonder whether its a lack of books, a lack of choices, my own changing tastes or, heaven forbid, the early signs of a reading slump. Oh noes! Anything but that… For Review: Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates Fable: […]
