Stacking the Shelves: 9/16/17

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and it’s all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. You can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

I think it’s been nearly a month since I last typed up a Stacking the Shelves post and that’s mainly due to the fact that I haven’t received loads of books. I’ve been trying to cut back on what I request/accept because the next month is going to be BUSY.

Received for Review: 

I featured The Man in the Tree and The Girl in the Tower in the last Stacking the Shelves post, but now I’ve got the lovely physical copies to show off. A finished copy of The Bear and the Nightingale arrived alongside The Girl in the Tower from Del Rey. Just this morning my finished copy of Blackwing by Ed McDonald arrived courtesy of Ace, which I’ve been pretty excited about.

I recently received an ebook copy of The Heart of Stone by Ben Galley from the man himself. I’ve heard a ton of great stuff about this book and I’m really excited to read it once I’ve got some time! I also received an eGalley of Weaver’s Lament by Emma Newman from Tor/NetGalley. Earlier this year I reviewed Brother’s Ruin, which I absolutely loved so obviously I had to continue with the novella series.

My Purchases:

I’ve been going through audiobooks like crazy lately! Carve the Mark and Soulless were featured on one of Audible’s 2-for-1 sales and both were on my someday TBR. I loved Soulless so much that I went and picked up Changeless as soon as I finished it. Lastly, I picked up Tower of Dawn, the Throne of Glass novel dedicated entirely to Chaol… While many people, myself included, were skeptical of how successful this would be, I ended up enjoying it far more than the last ToG book.

And we’ve also got the only physical book that I actually purchased. I’ve been collecting Ben-Erik van Wyk’s books for the last couple years and Culinary Herbs & Spices of the World is my latest addition! They’re such dense little books, with tons of info, pictures, and are nicely cloth bound.
