Stacking the Shelves

We are going camping this weekend, so I probably won’t get as much reading done this week. I will probably also take a book I own rather than a library book, because you know camping. But that didn’t stop me from visiting my local library this week and picking out a few books to take home with me. I think I got some good ones.

Library books I have added to my bedside stack

Dead Things is an urban fantasy that has been on my TBR for awhile. It is an old one put it looks pretty good and it has been awhile since I’ve read an urban fantasy with a necromancer in it.

The Book Eaters is one that I keep seeing around and it always sounded pretty good to me, so when I saw an available copy I just decided to snap it up this week.

This is How You Lose the Time War is another that I keep seeing reviews for. I really like that cover and it sounds like an interesting time travel book.

ARC’s I’ve added to my Netgalley account

Ok, Let’s pause for a moment and admire these three absolutely gorgeous covers!

I was so surprised and then excited when I saw a Terry Pratchett book on NetGalley and I just knew I had to get that one. A Stroke of the Pen is a collection of short stories that he wrote under another name for some magazines early in his career. This comes out in October.

I read and loved Taran Matharu’s Summoner series, so when I saw that cover for his new book Dragon Rider I figured I would give it a try. It doesn’t come out until next April so I won’t get to it for awhile.

I mentioned in my post on Thursday that I was waiting to be approved for Two Twisted Crowns, and lo and behold on Friday I got my wish! I am really looking forward to reading this one next month.

Audiobooks

I’m taking a little break from Peter May’s books having just about finished The Lewis Trilogy. So I decided to download the Aeronaut’s Windlass and get started on that one next. This is a long one and with camping and hiking this weekend I might not get much of it done, but I look forward to really getting into it when I get back. I just love Jim Butcher’s writing style and this sounds like it will be a really good time. Plus it has both a steampunk vibe and magic! The narrator, Euan Morton, is someone I’ve listened to before and enjoyed, so this should be a really good listen.

That is all the books I’ve picked up this week. I am looking forward to reading them all, and hopefully I will get to them soon.

Happy Reading!
