Stacking the Shelves: 8/17/19

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly (or in my case monthly) 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!

Many thanks to Tor for sending over Kingmaker by Margaret Weis and Robert Krammes, Death Goddess Dance by Levi Black, and Earth by Ben Bova. Honestly, I don’t know that I’ll be reading any of these since two are series I’m not up-to-date on and Earth is not one I’m particularly interested in. These will be donations that I’m sure will make someone else extremely happy!

Sword and Pen by Rachel Caine

I’ve been enjoying the Great Library series and have been looking forward to this newest installment. Many thanks to Berkley for the finished copy.

The Harp of Kings by Juliet Marillier

Finally, I’m getting around to a Juliet Marillier book!! I’ve had one of her books on my shelf for ages and another on my TBR but I never seemed to have the time to read them. Now I’ve got a brand spanky new release so I’ve got no excuse! Thanks to Ace for the finished copy.

Orbit sent over some really cool new releases recently as well!

Jade War by Fonda Lee

More gang wars, more politics, more drama. The first book in this series was pretty cool and this one has great reviews thus far!

Realm of Ash by Tasha Suri

This is an interesting sequel – it doesn’t focus on the main character of Empire of Sand, but rather her younger sister who is now an adult. I’m curious to see if the two books will kind of come together or something.

Raging Storm by Markus Heitz

DWARVES! This book sounds really cool, but it’s the fourth book in a series that I’ve never read so I’ll probably donate this one as well (it was sent to me by mistake).

Cover- Turning Darkness to Light

Turning Darkness into Light by Marie Brennan

I REALLY liked the Memoirs of Lady Trent series and this is going to be about her granddaughter! The synopsis has buzzy words like conspiracy, rebellion, and war, so honestly I just couldn’t resist. Many thanks to Tor for the eARC.

My Purchases:

I picked up some great audiobooks in the last month and it’s been hard to get my regular reading done. Looking Glass was a tense read and I could’t help but to pick up Murder Theory shortly after. I ended up getting Beneath the Twisted Trees on audio because I’ve enjoyed the previous books in that format and it helps my schedule out tremendously. And one of the most exiting – DARK AGE! Dang, I feel like I’ve been waiting on this book forever and I was almost nervous to pick it up for fear that I wouldn’t be into it… I was wrong. It’s SO HARD TO PUT DOWN!
