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

Picked up a couple of new books this afternoon. First up Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis, which I had as an e-ARC, but this is so good it warrants a physical copy! Also new to the shelves this week is Raiders of the Lost Heart by Jo Segura, the first in a series of archaeologist romances!

For Review

This week saw a physical copy of The Last Vigilant by Mark A. Latham arrive on the doorstep, a new epic fantasy set in a world where magic is forgotten, monsters lurk in the dark woods, and honorable soldiers are few.

Currently Reading

Finishing up my month of reading all Canadian as a show of solidarity against the giant orange troll and his Nazi sidekick, and also wrapping up the Trans Readathon in honor of the Trans Day of Visibility.

The Revenge of Captain Vessia by Leslie Allen is both Canadian and transgender, so it was a perfect fit for the month; The Uncrowned King by Michelle West is fully Canadian and a great read; while Red Market by Dharma Kelleher is fully in the transgender category – author, protagonist, and several supporting characters.
