Stacking the Shelves

Yesterday was a super busy day, but I did manage to make it to the library to pick up my holds for the week. I also had a pretty busy week on NetGalley, picking up three Arcs! I keep telling myself to pull back on the ARCs, but I can’t seem to help myself, especially when I see a favorite author’s name on the book.

Library books I have added to my bedside stack

I can’t remember why I put A Step Past Darkness on hold, or how I heard about it. It was probably a review. But it is another small town mystery and for at least part of it, set in the 90s. Still, it sounds good, so I will give it a chance.

The Thefts of the Mona Lisa is a nonfiction book that I heard about recently. I have always been curious about the notoriety of this famous painting and wanted to learn more about the thefts surrounding it.

I saw What Cats Want in my local Indie Bookstore last week and thought it looked quite amusing. I was able to find it at my local library and thought it would be a good book to learn more about cat behavior from. I love the illustrations.

ARC’s I’ve added to my Netgalley account

I stumbled on Such Charming Liars (July) quite by accident on NetGalley yesterday. I was looking at another book and noticed this one in the ‘Readers who liked this book also liked this’ section. Of course I had to get it as I just love Karen McManus’ books. Another standalone, but that is fine by me.

The Hermit Next Door ( June) is a very short novella, almost a short story, by a favorite author. I liked the sound of it and will hopefully squeeze it in between some other stories soon.

The One That Got Away With Murder is another audiobook ARC that I requested. It is coming out in April, but I should be able to get to it in the next week or so. It sounded too good to pass up.

Well those are my books for this week. I hope you all had a great week and managed to get some of the books on your stack read. Until next time…

Happy Reading!
