Stacking the Shelves

A big haul from the library this week, but that is ok. Four of them are very short, and only one is rather longish. I hope to get through many of these over the next couple of weeks, especially the short ones. I have no ARCs to read in November so I plan on catching up on my physical books, both library and ones that I have bought this year but still haven’t read. I haven’t added any ARC’s to my Netgalley list or audiobooks this week.

Update: I had this all finished and even scheduled it to publish, and then went and checked my emails. Low and behold, one of my audioboo holds came through. So I have added that, but decided not to change anything else from the post. Enjoy!

Library books I have added to my bedside stack

After She Wrote Him is a backlist book by the author of The Woman in the Library. Thought I would just check out some of her other books.

The Measure came to my attention a few weeks back and it sounded just up my ally. A book where everyone learns the date of their death on the same day? What would happen? Would society come together or totally fall apart? Can’t wait to find out.

Curious Tides is also a book that I have seen around alot lately. It also sounds like the perfect book for me, a dark academia with magic and a mystery. Sounds like the perfect book to curl up with on a cold autumn night.

A Spindle Splintered and A Mirror Mended are two short novellas based on the Sleeping Beauty and Snow White fairy tales. I am looking forward to reading this twist on those two classic tales.

I picked up Where the Drowned Girls Go because it just won the Hugo Award for best novella. I read the first book in his well known Wayward Children series, but never followed through with the others. This is a short novella set in this world, but separate from the series. It might just make me want to read the series at some point.

A Second Chance is the third book in the Chronicles of St. Mary’s series. Although I liked the audiobook, I decided to switch things up with the physical book this time. I can’t wait to see where this fun group goes in history this time.

Audiobooks

I’m hoping that The September House will be the book I will be listening to on Halloween. It sounds perfectly spooky, but hopefully not to scary or gory. I don’t think that I have listened to the narrator before, Kimberly Farr, but I have heard good things about both the book and the audiobook. I just love that cover too.

A good haul this week, I still have three books from my last haul to get through before getting to these, but I think they will be pretty quick reads. Until next time…

Happy Reading!
