Stacking the Shelves: 6/20/26

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly (or in my case monthly) meme hosted by Reading Reality 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 audiobooks and ebooks!

Received for Review:

It has been… awhile since I’ve posted a Stacking the Shelves post, so this one is going to be formatted a little differently since I’ve reviewed about half the books I’ve received since February. First up we have the books I haven’t reviewed yet!

Demons and Diplomacy by Meg Frampton
This follows the human tasked with keeping the peace between humans and supernatural creatures in 1851, London. I suspect there will be romance and a great deal of shenanigans. It gives me Greta Helsing vibes and I’m here for it!

A Trade of Blood by Robert Jackson Bennett
I have barely restrained myself from reading this, but I’m giving in and it will be one of my vacation reads in a couple weeks! This is the third installment in the Shadow of the Leviathan series following Ana and Din as they solve mysteries and keep the kingdom from crumbling.

The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley
I did not restrain myself from reading this one and I wish I could read it for the first time all over again. This is one of the best enemies to lovers romances I’ve read and I completely loved it! My review will be up soon.

The Thief and the Traitor Bride by V.L. Bovalino
This is yet another planned vacation read because romantasy is PERFECT for beach reading! It follows estranged spouses as they are forced to work together again and is set in the same world as The Second Death of Locke.

The Castle & the Cloister by Laura Weymouth
This is the start of a new political fantasy duology and follows a wet nurse, a heretic queen, and a priest. I haven’t read this author’s previous works, but I do love a political fantasy!

And next up, we have the books I have reviewed along with the review links!
