Stacking the Shelves: 9/26/20

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’ve added to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. You can include books you buy in a physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks!

Received for Review: 

The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie
This latest Abercrombie book is amazing – definitely a series I have to have in lovely hardcover! Review forthcoming.

The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart
This was an amazing read as well, featuring unique magic and fantastic characters. You can read my review here.

The Trials of Koli by M.R. Carey
I’m looking forward to diving back into this wild, strange post-apocalyptic world. Koli and his motley crew of companions are headed towards London this time around.

The One and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
This is an interesting one – set during the suffragist movement, a group of sisters must delve into their history and old magic to protect themselves. I couldn’t resist the synopsis or that gorgeous cover!

Nophek Gloss by Essa Hansen
I admit, I probably wouldn’t have requested a copy of this myself, but an ARC showed up unexpectedly. I’m curious about the synopsis and besides, you never know when you may find a new favorite read!

People of the City by Marshall Ryan Maresca
This is the final installment in the first Maradaine arc and it has been an awesome journey! This will really bring the entire cast of characters from the various series into one action packed adventure. Thanks to DAW for the eARC!

The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill
This year has been full of sea-faring adventure books and I LOVE this trend! I’m very excited to have a copy of this book, which has great early reviews. Thanks Berkley Books!

Daughter of the Serpentine by E.E. Knight
I was shocked at how much I loved the first book in this series and am really looking forward to picking this up soon. It has a dragon riding school! How could I not love it?? Thanks to Ace for the eARC.

The Camelot Betrayal by Kiersten White
This installment of the Camelot Rising trilogy will make or break the series for me. I enjoyed the first book, but didn’t love it and I’m curious to see how this installment will play out. Thanks to Delacorte Press for the eARC.

The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick
New series alert!! Could this be the next Lies of Locke Lamora? Well, I’ll find out when I pick it up soon! Thanks to Orbit for the eARC.

My Purchases:

The Black Song by Anthony Ryan
This is my only book purchase (aside from what arrived in OwlCrate boxes) in the last month and a half. It’s also taken me FOREVER to get through it because I’ve been in a reading slump (partially due to the game Ark Survival). As I type this I am ALMOST finished! It’s a good book, I’ve just been so slow lately.
