Stacking the Shelves & The Sunday Post

Stacking The Shelves (Reading Reality) and The Sunday Post (Caffeinated Reviewer) are both blog memes about sharing the books we’re adding to the shelves and sharing news of the week ahead.

New Purchases

While they weren’t my purchases, my Christmas gifts were all picked from my wishlist, so they’re kind of mine (LOL). They swear it wasn’t planned, but my spouse and my kids all went with an adventure theme, picking up copies of Sheba by Jack Higgins, Tomb Raider: Path of the Apocalypse by S. D. Perry, The Ark Files by Luke Richardson, and Blue Descent by David Wood.

Between Boxing Day sales and the GST tax holiday, there was no way I was leaving the bookstore empty-handed this week! I’ve heard good things about What Doesn’t Break, the latest Critical Role novel by Cassandra Khaw, so that was a quick pick-up; I knew nothing about Logan-Ashley Kisner, but I spotted the trans colors on the cover of Old Wounds and had to see if it was deliberate (much to my delight, it is); and American Gods is one of those Neil Gaiman books that has never quite made it to the shelves, so I rectified the situation.

For Review

Nothing new on the review front this week, which is just as well since I went hard on the review requests all month and have a few stacks of books to be read over the next few months,

Currently Reading

As for what I’m currently reading, I’ve got several books on the go. Crown of Vengeance by Mercedes Lackey & James Mallory is my current paperback; Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner has taken over as my current hardcover, and Like A Breath Of Flame by Cecilia Tan & Cosmin Alexander is sharing time with Spyder’s Trouble by Korin I. Dushayl as my current Kindle reads.
