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

Just two purchases this week, both used books that fill some gaps in my shelves. First up is Secret Sorceress by Linda Lowery, part of the short-lived, ahead-of-its-time, HeartQuest series of Dungeons & Dragons romantasy from the 80s. I also snagged a library copy of Transcendent 2: The Year’s Best Transgender Speculative Fiction, edited by Bogi Takacs.

For Review

Nothing on the review front this week.

Sadly, we did say goodbye to our sweet boy this week. Originally a stray from Texas, we rescued him from a kill shelter 7 years ago and enjoyed every moment he was a part of our family. We did what we could to make him comfortable in his final weeks, but right-side congestive heart failure is something for which there is no cure.

While still grieving, I’ve been able to escape into fiction, flipping between Seducing the Widow by Jane Walsh, Spyder’s Trouble by Korin I. Dushayl, and Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson.
