For some reason this stack LOOKED way bigger than last week’s stack – but it’s not. Just one more title. Also, they are nearly all pretty in their own ways, with the exception of The Atlas Complex. That whole series has had sort of bland covers, the excitement has always been BETWEEN the covers on […]

I finally found cover images for two books that I’ve had forever – but without the art. It feels like a bit of a milestone. Also, the covers are gorgeous. I’m speaking of Blood Jade and Fiasco both of which have fascinating covers and whose first series books were both terrific. So I have very […]

I have been trying to figure out Instagram and #bookstagram this week, meaning that this is my both my first Stacking the Shelves post of 2024 and my first stab at doing it on insta. (Check it out!) I believe I’ve reached the point in my learning curve where I’ve flipped from 1 step forward […]

This stack is a bit taller than I expected, but then I didn’t expect Amazon to dangle triple kindle points in the Kindle Rewards Beta in front of me this week – and I probably should have. But that’s what brings the remainder of the Barker & Llewelyn series into my Kindle app – not that […]

I’m not sure pretty is even the correct word for this bunch of covers. The West Passage takes that prize, although there honestly isn’t a lot of competition. Very much on the other hand, there are three books in this stack that I am eagerly anticipating, one of which I didn’t even know was going […]

I keep playing with these stacks because I keep expecting that one of these holiday week stacks is going to be empty – and then what? But so far, there’s always been something. Actually, there are a couple more somethings than are showing here because there are some books coming up next spring that may […]

This stack of covers isn’t so much pretty as it is evocative. The Barker & Llewelyn covers do an excellent job of invoking the time and place and projecting the sense of dark mystery, the London Ladies’ Murder Club covers pretty much scream the 1920s while the cover of Paladin’s Faith fits right in with […]

Not a lot of review copies in this stack, but I’ve clearly given in, or leaned in, or both, to my love of the Barker & Llewelyn series and am in the process of collecting the ones I don’t have eARCs of, which is unfortunately most of them. So there’s that. The prettiest cover ‘award’ […]

First and most definitely foremost, I hope that everyone had a GREAT turkey day, whether there was turkey on the menu or not! For a work week that was only THREE days long, a surprising amount of stuff showed up on Edelweiss and NetGalley. Which I am, of course, VERY thankful for! After absolutely LOVING […]

For a not very tall stack it has a lot of fascinating books in it! The prettiest cover is a dead heat between The Fallen Fruit and The Spellshop. The hands-down best, I’m picking this book for its title award goes to How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying. That title is hard […]
