Stacking the Shelves

This always seems to happen. A whole bunch of books I had on hold all show up at the same time. I picked up four today, but there are three more on their way! I don’t think they will get here before this posts, so I will include them next week. I also still have three library books sitting on my table that I haven’t touched yet. Luckily they are shortish reads so hopefully I can get them done quick.

I didn’t get any new books on Netgalley, but I did download all of my October ARCs onto my ipad, so I thought I would include those in this week’s post as well. Plus one of my audiobooks that I have been waiting a while for finally came! I am excited to get started on that one!

Library books I have added to my bedside stack

Chasing the Darkness got on my radar recently from someone’s review (sorry, don’t remember whose) and it sounded really interesting. Plus I love that cover! I’m a sucker for a brooding hot guy with swords.

The Hundred Lives of Juliet has been getting some good reviews, so I have decided to give it a try. I have liked other books by this author so I am hoping this one will be good too.

I decided to give the Eric Carter series a chance and requested the second book, Broken Souls. I didn’t quite expect it to show up so quick, but there you go.

The Puzzle of Blackstone Lodge is actually the third in a series, which I don’t think I knew when I put it on hold. I think it is ok to read these out of order, but just in case I did grab the first book off the shelf.

Gallows Court is the first book in the Rachel Savernake series ( see above). I was happy that it was just sitting on the shelf at my local branch so that I wouldn’t have to wait for it. These are historical mysteries which can sometimes be a miss for me, but I am hopeful that I will like this one.

ARC’s I’ve added to my ipad

Night of the Witch is a YA fantasy with an enemies to lovers romance. It is the first book in a new series by these two awesome authors. I have enjoyed books by both these ladies so I am sure I will enjoy this one as well.

A Stroke of the Pen is a collection of lost short stories by Terry Pratchett. I am so looking forward to reading this one. They are not set in the Discworld but I am ok with that.

Long Past Dues is the second book in an urban fantasy series. I read the first book, Dead Man’s Hand and quite enjoyed it. I am hoping this one will be just as good.

An Inheritance of Magic is a book I requested because of that cover, I just love it. The summery kind of cinched it though. It sounds like a really fun urban fantasy.

Two Twisted Crowns is another sequel to a YA fantasy romance series. I enjoyed the first book, One Dark Window, this spring, so I am looking forward to reading this one.

Audiobooks

My hold for All the Sinners Bleed finally came through. I am excited to get started on this one. I hopefully will be done with my current listen this weekend and will be able to start it early next week. I love murder mysteries set in small towns.

I can already tell that September is going to be a busy reading month. It is a good thing that I am not working, or I wouldn’t have time to read all of these wonderful books. I hope you are all making time for reading and enjoying your books.

Until next time…

Happy Reading!
