Stacking the Shelves

I debated about doing this post this week, because I didn’t have that many books that I added to my stack. But then I decided to go ahead and do it anyways as I am pretty excited about all of these books.

Library books I have added to my bedside stack

I saw How to End a Love Story on someone’s blog a few weeks ago and thought it would be the perfect book for me. Sorry I can’t remember whose blog, I really need to work out a system to keep track of that. Anyways, I love a story where the main characters are hiding lots of secrets and have a messy past together. This sounds like a second chance romance that may or may not work out!

ARC’s I’ve added to my Netgalley account

Full Speed to a Crash Landing is a novella that I first found out about on Becky’s Book Blog just at the start of this week. (Yes! I remembered to write it down this time!) This is a novella about a space heist that also has a romance in it. Sounds perfect! I immediately went over to Netgalley to see if it was available to request and it was, and I did, and I was approved! I’m super excited about this even though this puts my ARC total for August at 7 books, Yikes! Luckily most of them are shortish and I think will be pretty quick reads. This is the first book in a new series with the second one coming out in December.

Today I received an email from the publisher giving me access to the ARC for the next Richard Osman book. We Solve Murders is a brand new book about a private investigator duo traveling around the world to solve a murder. I am very excited to read this one, and may have to sneak it in soon even though it doesn’t come out until September.

Audiobooks

The prompt for the Epic Reading Challenge this month was to read a book in a genre outside my comfort zone. I was pretty stumped by this for awhile, because I will read just about anything, so no genre was really out of my comfort zone. Then a few weeks ago, I was hanging out with some librarian friends and they were all talking about this great middle grade book that had been nominated for the state reading award and how much they were hoping it would win. It unfortunately didn’t win. But to make a long story even longer, I realized that Starfish is written in verse. Lightbulb moment! A genre I don’t really read, because it just doesn’t usually work for me, except I have had some success when it is in audiobook form. So I found my challenge book and I am looking forward to listening to it.

That is it for this week’s Stacking the Shelves post. I hope you are having a t great weekend of reading. Until next time…

Happy Reading!
