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 small stack of new books this week, starting with Bold Strokes by Jane Boon (her follow-up to the empowering, edgy, and erotic Edge Play); Solomon’s Seal by Skyla Dawn Cameron (her first Livi Talbot, treasure hunter, book); A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows (queer love story full of Byzantine politics and lush sexual energy); and The Emperor and the Endless Palace by Justinian Huang (a heart-pounding romantasy, full of shocking twists, morally shifty characters, and erotic thrills).
For ReviewJust the one new review title this week, but it sounds like a ton of fun. Blood and Treasure by Ryan Pote brings together the destruction of the International Space Station, the discovery of an ancient scroll, a treasure hunter, and the sole survivor of a killing spree conducted 254 miles up in the sky.
Currently ReadingAs for what I’m reading, on the Kindle I’ve paused (but not abandoned) Heir of Strahd by Delilah S. Dawson in favor of Written on the Dark by Guy Gavriel Kay, while I’m still reading The Death Relic by Chris Kuzneski in paperback.
