For those of you in the U.S., I hope you’re having a marvelous three-day weekend! This week’s stack was originally relatively small, and then I opened my Hugo voting packet. The list below is far (very far) from everything in the packet, it’s just my first pass at the books I know I want to […]
One of the books in this week’s stack (The Spook Lights Affair) is not scheduled to be published until December! I’m not sure whether to be delighted to have so much time to get a round tuit, or appalled that the year is passing by so quickly. <groan> On another topic, someone asked how I […]
This year is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. Hard to believe, isn’t it? Two of the review books are part of the 50th anniversary collection from BBC Books. It was kind of a thrill to get the Royal Mail package from England this week. It had an extra surprise inside. Doctor Who: Who-ology, The […]
I cut the stack off at 24 and move to the next list. I’m not sure what that says about what except that after 24, the picture gets WAY too big. Especially when it comes to books, too much of a good thing is wonderful. I read about half of what I get. I like […]
Another two-week sized stack. I have not been a good girl. On the other hand, I keep giving in to the temptation that is the Macmillan/Tor whitelist on Edelweiss. I’ll confess to a not-so-hidden agenda, I’m hoping that Galen will borrow my Kindle and guest-review a couple of these for me. But maybe I’ll keep […]
This is two-weeks’ worth of shelf-stacking. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Again. However, a quite possibly germane post appeared this week at All About Romance titled Hoarders: The TBR Episode? While I can cheerfully say that I do not have 600 print books in my house labelled “TBR”, I have to confess […]
I listened to a webinar last week sponsored by Library Journal. Several publishers were highlighting their spring and summer books. It’s always good to hear about what’s coming out, even when it’s not in a genre I read myself. One of the publishers was Macmillan, Tor’s parent company. Even though they didn’t talk science fiction, […]
This week my shelf contains a “sweet 16” stack of books. Think of it as my contribution to NCAA “March Madness” even though both of my schools are out of the running this year. Now that I mention sweetness, the books that were the sweetest to get were Mystically Bound and Eternally Devoted, the final […]
Fellow book blogger Jo Jones is on an around-the-world cruise. Not only is she blogging about her trip on her travel blog (Jo Jones, Traveling Lady) and posting some fantastic pictures, she’s also whittling down her TBR stack and posting reviews on her book blog (Mixed Book Bag). I envy her twice. My stack […]
I don’t say this nearly often enough, but Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews to share the books that you are adding to your shelves, whether that add is physical or virtual. This seems to have been a week when I added way too many of both types! Every book […]
