Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature co-hosted by Tynga's Reviews and Reading Reality. It is a chance to showcase all the goodies you've collected throughout the week, whether they're bought on-line or in-store, an ARC or a final copy, borrowed from a friend or the library, physical or digital, etc. Never has my addiction been more obvious than when I am now keeping track of every single book I acquire.
Library Treasures
What did you add to your stash this week?
Happy Reading!
Sarah
Nice haul! I hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Whispering Chapters
Thank you! I have finished another couple this week and so far I have liked all but one. It's always extra nice when what looks to be a good haul lives up to the expectation!
DeleteI have a huge book about Richard III. He fascinates me but the size of the book scares me! I do plan to read The King is Dead during this week. I love how gorgeous the book cover is.
ReplyDeleteWhich RIII book are you talking about? I have read a few on him, and I try to be fair and read about him and his reign, not just about the princes. But, I mean, he probably did have them killed. But that is a whole different tangent. Matthew Lewis writes quite fairly about him, though he can be considered a Ricardian. I enjoy his works.
DeleteAn interesting clutch as always! Naturally the McCabe book is on my interest list but I'll be waiting for the paperback. The Victorian murders looks like FUN!
ReplyDeleteA reasonable haul for me this week:
Fiction:
The Lost Letters of William Woolf by Helen Cullen
The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
The Lost Man by Jane Harper
Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman
The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths
Fall Down Dead by Stephen Booth
Non-Fiction:
A Higher Loyalty by James Comey
The Dawn of Eurasia - On the Trail of the New Order by Bruno Macaes
Unnatural Causes by Dr Richard Shepherd
OMG HURRY UP AND READ THE COMEY BOOK SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT!!!!
DeleteI am almost done with McCabe's book now. I'm sure trumplethinskin hates it, but obviously that means McCabe was right in writing it. And it is not just focused on Tiny Hands, we get a lot of interesting background info on the FBI in general and McCabe's experience. Very solid read.
LOL - It might be a few weeks at the best I'm afraid. I'll let you know! Waiting for McCabe in paperback or cheap hardback.
DeleteI just finished the book a few minutes ago. Definitely worth reading. Without giving away too much information, I feel like McCabe laid everything out as best he can. It's not his fault that trumplethinskin trolls can't read or comprehend.
DeleteI like the way you put all the book covers up. I can never get blogger to put images side by side like that. Is there a trick?
ReplyDeleteFor me, in came 6 library treasures including a history of the Peace Corps called All You Need is Love. I bought 2 and actually I guess I bought 3 because I got the June selection from The Nervous Breakdown Book Club, What A Body Remembers; looks great from the blurb. Now to finish Sisters In Law before the week is over.
Hmmm. I am not sure! Are you using blogger on your phone or your computer?
DeleteGood luck with your new treasures, hope you have a lot of winners and no duds!
Slimed! I remember that show.
ReplyDeleteI love so much about Nickelodeon. This book, unfortunately, was sloppy and garbage. Plus the author turns out to be a racist d-bag who thinks Nickelodeon was better when it was all white kids, so...way to ruin my childhood, dumb guy.
DeleteI’ll be adding The Invention of Murder to my wishlist, enjoy those new additions
ReplyDeleteThank you! My interest in the UK starts to dwindle in Elizabeth I's reign, but I can not get enough of those wacky Vitorians and their love of murder - especially murder by poison. We can chat about it when we're both done reading!
DeleteYou always find the best nonfiction books. I’ll have to look for that book about Victorian murders. Those are two of my favorite subjects.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks AJ! The Victorian period is usually not of interest to me EXCEPT when it deals with murder, is that weird?? I think it has to do with the way they reported on the murders, the sensationalism, etc.
