The great thing about participating in two blog hops two Saturdays in a row is the amount of traffic that they generate–I hope some of the people who tuned in for the hops are sticking around to see what else is going on! The bad thing is that my Stacking the Shelves post really stacks […]
Last weekend, I resisted the impulse to buy books at RustyCon. However, I am being tempted again. This weekend is the American Library Association Midwinter Conference, otherwise known as ARC-city. There will be ARCs everywhere I look, and all just waiting to jump into my bag. Free for the taking. Of course, then I have […]
As this posts, I am at RustyCon, hopefully resisting the temptation to buy more books in the Dealer’s Room. But the spring book previews have resulted in a few NetGalleys finding their way to my iPad. Binge-watching Call the Midwife and Longmire account for some of the library borrowing. Who ever said that television watching […]
This is shaping up to be the perfect weekend to stay in and read, although it almost wasn’t. Everything started beeping in the middle of the night; we had a power failure and all the Uninterruptible Power Supplies started fweeping that their power had been interrupted! It’s a wet, chilly gloomy January day in Seattle. […]
A slow week. I’m trying to find things more “resistible”, but it may also be that there wasn’t much new listed at NetGalley and Edelweiss. We all have our temptations. It could be booze, it could be drugs. For me, it’s books. These were all ebooks. I want to read them all, not necessarily own […]
I hope that everyone had a very happy whatever they might celebrate, even if it’s just the idea that the days are getting longer again in the northern hemisphere. And OMG it’s cold, even here in Seattle. There’s stuff in this stack that I really can’t wait to read. A new story by Mary Ann […]
This is a very quick (and relatively short) shelf-stack this week. We’re in the middle of that whole packing and moving thing. It’s definitely a goodness that nearly all of these are ebooks! For Review: Ashes & Alchemy (Gaslight Chronicles #6) by Cindy Spencer Pape Back to You (Coming Home #3) by Jessica Scott Dirty […]
There’s an irony in this post being called “Stacking the Shelves” as we are very much trying to unstack the physical shelves at our apartment. Thankfully the titles listed below don’t add any weight to our actual shelves, as the only print title on the list is the one that belongs the public library. But […]
For two weeks’ worth of stack, this is not too bad. Or so I keep telling myself. Two notes about this stack. Blade to the Keep is the sequel to Lauren Dane’s fantastic Goddess With a Blade. Now that was part of the first batch of books that Carina Press approved me for on NetGalley […]
For all lovers of Science Fiction Romance out there, be sure to take a look at the inaugural issue of Sci-Fi Romance Quarterly. It’s that awesome cover over on the right by the multi-talented Kaz Augustin, who is also the Chief Editor. If you like SFR, I’m sure you’ll find a few more books […]
