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.

Happy Reading!

    1. Not too bad! Big surprise, I am interested in the Dulles book. Not sure if I could sit through Frost/Nixon. Maybe.

    2. I *am* surprised about your interest in the Dulles brothers.

    3. I am mainly interested right now because of the CIA aspect of Allen Dulles' life and wanting to know more about him. Not sure of John Foster Dulles because I know nothing about him at all.

  5. I read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil several years ago and remember it with pleasure. I hope you enjoy it.

  6. I was the picture of restraint on new books coming in last week. A good thing as I took in 12 books over the past two weeks.
    It took me months to read The Second Sex but it changed me in ways I am still discovering. Here is my review: https://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2010/06/second-sex.html

    1. I enjoyed your review and it helped me quite a bit in deciding if I am going to read The Second Sex at this time. As soon as I started it, I knew it would take me a good long while to finish it, so I returned it and am contemplating buying my own copy. There's nothing more annoying than having to return a book when you're not done, because someone else is waiting on it, and getting back in line ot get it again. I went through that for a while with Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich for a while before I finally just bought my own copy.
