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!
Once again, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted one of these, which is a shame, since they’re one of my favorite blog posts to both share and read!
Received for Review:

A Time of Dread by John Gwynne
At long last, it’s arriving in the US! I’m looking forward to seeing how Gwynne’s newest series will take shape and how things have changed in the century since The Faithful and the Fallen series occurred. Thanks to Orbit for the finished copy.
The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco
Eek!! I’m really looking forward to this one, just to see what Tea does with her powers. She seems to be looking for revenge and it just might be awesome. I actually ended up with two copies of this book so there may be a giveaway for one in the near future! Thanks to Sourcebooks for the ARC!
Verdict on Crimson Fields by M.C. Planck
This was a surprise arrival from Pyr – I didn’t even know this series was on book 4 already! Sadly, I’m a couple books behind, so I don’t think I’ll be reading this one for awhile but the synopsis is pretty awesome.
Into the Green Unknown by Patrick Rogers
This was one of those rare books that I accept a copy from directly from the author AND it’s totally outside my usual genre. I’m really glad I got this one from Patrick Rogers because it was such a cool intro to a region of India I was wholly unfamiliar with! I’ll have a review up for this soon, so stay tuned.
The Grey Bastards by Jonathan French
Another SPFBO book is going big-time! I dearly hope they don’t change the cover for this because the original is on point. Can’t wait to dig into this one! Thanks to NetGalley and Crown for the eGalley.
The Fairies of Sadieville by Alex Bledsoe
I’ll be honest, I read the synopsis and hit the Request button. Fairies in Appalachia. Count me in, since ya know, I’m from that region and all. I hope it’s magical and strange and worthy of the Rothfuss blurb on the front. And I hope it can be read as a standalone because I goofed and didn’t realize it’s part of a series. Thanks to Tor and NetGalley for the eGalley.
Purchased Books:

I picked up the hardcover of this one because it’s BEAUTIFUL and less than $8.00 right now on Amazon.
The Disappearance of Winter’s Daughter by Michael J. Sullivan
I snagged a copy of this in early December but it took until early January to finally show up on my doorstep so here it is! I love MJS’s books and I hope this will be no different. Definitely can’t wait to see what adventures are in store for Royce and Hadrian. Also, it’s signed which is cool.
And last but certainly not least, my monthly audiobook haul. I love Audible. It affords me so much opportunity to check out books I otherwise wouldn’t have the time to sit down and read a physical copy. This month I picked up Blackwing which I’ve already reviewed as well as Iron Gold and The Cruel Prince which will have reviews forthcoming!

Wow, awesome book haul😁 I also have a copy of The Grey Bastards, and I’m really excited. The Cruel Prince was so good!

I’ve been seeing a lot of people getting those Time of Dread review copies, and I’m exited to start reading reviews! I didn’t read his first series, but I read reviews, so I’m hoping to hear it will be just as good 🙂
Also, can never go wrong with Royce and Hadrian 😉

As a John Gwynne newbie I fell head over heels for his writing in “A Time of Dread”, a truly amazing book, and have decided I *need* to read his other works, ASAP 🙂
