First, I may not often say this, but it is always true; this Stacking the Shelves post is part of the Stacking the Shelves meme hosted at Tynga’s Reviews. It’s all about sharing the books we’re adding to our shelves, whether those books (and shelves) are physical or virtual. If you want to see the […]
In this week’s stack I want to make a few shout-outs. I’m always overjoyed to see a new book by Ruthie Knox. I’ve been absolutely tickled to death by every single thing she’s written, so I’m always thrilled when Library Journal sends me one of her books to review. YAY! And even though I haven’t […]
Lots of new books this week, including some I’ve waiting for! For Review: Ancillary Justice (Imperial Radch #1) by Ann Leckie Bad Idea by Damon Suede Close to You (Downside Ghosts #5.5) by Stacia Kane Country Loving (Talyton St. George #7) by Cathy Woodman The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers (Demon Slayer #2) by Angie […]
There’s a part of me that is wondering if I will have bought a copy of Codex Born by the time you read this. I’ll be in Reno, Nevada, as Galen’s “plus one” at a a conference, and mostly reading. Codex Born will be sitting at home, because the library copy is not just print, […]
We found a new way of putting together the “rogue’s gallery” of new books. It’s the gallery function of WordPress. And YAY! Hopefully it looks awesome, because it’s way easier than playing with GIMP. Which wasn’t half bad but occasionally had its own special moments. The gallery is randomized, so it should be differently cool […]
All those books I bought were from the current StoryBundle. If you haven’t heard of StoryBundle yet, you really should check them out, they are awesome! StoryBundle is like HumbleBundle, except it’s always for indie books. (HumbleBundle does indie games) Here’s the deal; StoryBundle puts together a bundle (duh) of ebooks. You decide how much […]
I borrowed The Cuckoo’s Calling from the library out of sheer curiosity. I wonder how the hell Rowling did at a mystery/suspense thriller. Now that we all know Robert Galbraith is Rowling, it all seems so obvious. Cormoran Strike is so a Hogwarts’ name. I finally got Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines, and started it […]
A relatively short stack this week. After the Gay Romance Northwest Meetup last week, I decided to finally read the Cut & Run series by Roux and Urban, because everyone always said the series was awesome. I’ve got the whole series on hold at the library, but of course my holds are arriving in a […]
The box arrived from WorldCon. We tried not to pick up stuff, but we still picked up stuff. It’s starting to look like there will be multiple “what we did at WorldCon” posts at Book Lovers Inc. this week. Even after a week plus, it feels like a hard re-entry back to real life. Feels […]
This isn’t all there is. There’s a box of books shipping via turtle express from San Antonio and I have absolutely no recollection what’s in it. We sincerely tried not to pick up too much, but, there were a certain number of irresistible freebies going around (not exactly free when you factor in the cost […]
