Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by 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
*This is a couple weeks' worth because I have not posted an STS in a few weeks

DeleteThose of interest:
Collateral Damage (but won't be able to read for a while because I am still so fucking pissed)
Black Victorians
The Ruin of All Witches
Dangerous Rhythms
Fewer than I thought when I saw how long the list was. Lucky for you, our library has Ruin and Dangerous!
I did restrict myself a *little* bit as their prices have just gone up. Now *everything* (or nearly everything) is £5. Which isn't BAD for a £20+ hardback that came out earlier THIS year... [grin] Back there in February I'm afraid.... [lol]
DeleteI appreciate that you at least spread visits to that bookshop out a bit. My keyboard doesn't make your fun little pound sign unfortunately, but 5 is def better than 20
DeleteThis is a slightly bigger haul than you usually have. Mine was bigger this week as well. Have a great Thanksgiving week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's a couple weeks' worth. Didn't have the energy to post for a bit after the Taylor concert and the election. But now I am back to myself again and ready to go. Happy Thanksgving!
DeleteDead Stream and Perfect Girl both look really interesting. I hope you enjoy your new books and have a fabulous week. - Katie
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS if you wish to visit at this late date - https://justanothergirlandherbooks.blogspot.com/2024/11/stacking-shelves-november-23-2024.html
Both had a lot of promise, but just didn't work for me. They were okay but not standouts for the year as 2024 is coming to a close.
