What can I say? I’m back to my regular, over-stacking ways. The unexpected treat in this batch is Anne Hillerman’s Spider Woman’s Daughter (egalley at Edelweiss). She is picking up the threads of the late, great Tony Hillerman’s Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee mysteries, set in the jurisdiction of the Navajo Tribal Police in the […]
Two notes about this week’s stack. The Legend of Eli Monpress is an omnibus of the first three books in the series. I borrowed book one from my local library, and ran out of time before we moved, but I remember it an excellent antihero sword-and-sorcery type fantasy. It would be urban if it were […]
This week’s list seems short, in spite of the monthly contribution from Carina Press on NetGalley. Maybe I’m getting sensible. Or maybe nothing much appealed to me this week. Probably that’s it. I’m still getting over the strep throat, and haven’t felt quite the thing, as they say. Still, a few possible gems. The Boleyn […]
Short stack this week. The blogger has, of all things, strep throat! For Review: Anything for You (Coming Home #2.5) by Jessica Scott The Dragon Healer (Dragon Knights #1.5) by Bianca D’Arc Heart of Iron (London Steampunk #2) by Bec McMaster Keeping Secrets in Seattle by Brooke Moss Lush (Delicious #3) by Lauren Dane The […]
One of the terrific things about American Library Association conferences is the ARCs. In piles on the floor. On tables. Everywhere you look. Authors talking about their process. Lauren Dane was signing copies of the latest book in her Delicious series, Tart. I would have loved to have been able to attend more author signings, […]
I think I’m mostly going to let this issue of Stacking the Shelves speak for its overwhelmingly massive shelf. I mean self. OMG. This is two weeks’ worth of shelfing. Not a misspelling. Shelving is where you put them in order. I think what I have here is definitely shelfing. Where you accumulate them lovingly […]
I almost forgot to buy anything this week. At least that’s what it feels like. Most of the books I would normally have bought, like the Theresa Meyers’ Legend Chronicles, I borrowed from the big library that’s perched above my office. All eight floors of it, a city-block wide. Bliss. Sometimes I have to remind […]
Looking at this list, it’s easy to see that the New Year has started with a bang, at least as far as Stacking the Shelves is concerned. I always find way too many temptations on NetGalley when Carina Press puts up their next month’s list. They’re kind of like Lay’s Potato Chips for me, reading-wise, […]
The last Stacking the Shelves for 2012. Wow! And for the first time in over a year, all our books are on real shelves again. This deserves a celebration of some kind. Along with some serious moaning and groaning. Now that the books are finally out of boxes, we have to put them in order […]
Seasons’ Greetings, Happy Holidays, Pleasant Solstice, whether that be cool or warm in your part of the world, etc. As the marvelous graphic so delightfully illustrates: ‘Tis the season after all. Peace on Earth and goodwill to all is a sentiment we can all get behind, whatever our personal beliefs. Speaking of personal beliefs, I […]
