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 PurchasesA few purchases again this week, starting with a small stack of overstock and remainder books from BookOutlet including:
Meg & Meg 2 (giant prehistoric sharks!) by Steve AltenDiablo Mesa (archaeological dig at the Roswell site) by Preston & ChildThe Paleontologist (grown-up Night At the Museum horror) by Luke DumasShadows Have Offended (Dr Crusher led TNG adventure) by Cassandra Rose ClareCradle of Ice (the 2nd Moonfall book) by James Rollins.
In terms of new releases, my preorder of From The Inside by Sophia Turner was delivered, so I’m looking forward to enjoying her ten funny, emotional, intimate tales of trans lesbian goodness.
For ReviewFirst up on the review front, the good folks at Tor were kind enough to send me a finished hardcover copy of Wind and Truth, book 5 of the Stormlight Archive, by Brandon Sanderson, which I’ll likely crack the spine on as my next read.
On top of that, the lovely and amazing B.J. Frazier was kind enough to send me copies of episodes 14, 15, and 16 of The Dominion and the Sugilite, her erotic sci-fi soap opera.
Currently ReadingBetween a terminally ill dog (who is at least happy and comfortable now for whatever time he has left) and a nasty cold/flu going through the house, my attention span has been as thin as my patience. After 3 DNF titles from the review pile, I’ve settled for hibernating with transgender nostalgia and WLW romance.
On the nostalgia front, it’s Breaking Cover by Jenny Walker, a spy thriller about an MI6 analyst who finally gets his chance to go into the field, but must do so as the out-of-action supermodel colleague a computer says he most closely resembles, and Welcome to Dorley Hall by Alyson Greaves, which explores a underground organization that redeems toxic masculinity by turning it into femininity, but through the eyes of a young man who doesn’t ‘deserve’ it . . . but wants it.
On the romance front, it’s Seducing the Widow by Jane Walsh, who is right up there with Barbara Ann Wright and Olivia Waite as must-read authors, and Without a Plan by Donna Jay, a rewrite of a book I enjoyed almost a decade ago and am excited to revisit.
