Welcome to another week of lookit-my-new-shinies, aka Tynga’s Reviews’ Stacking the Shelves. I’ve been fairly good this week: I did go shopping in Leuven’s bookshops, but I set myself a goal: only get books that you’ve never heard of before, preferably by authors you’ve never heard of. This took me some time and deliberation and paging through reviews on Goodreads, but it was pretty fun. The dead tree books below are the result!
Dead tree books
ARCs/review copies
Obviously I’m pretty excited about my ARC of A Burnable Book, since that was the book I picked for Waiting on Wednesday. Of my dead tree books, I’m most interested by Bear Daughter — it’s based on West Coast mythology, if I remember rightly (I’ve packed the book in my suitcase, so I can’t check), and sounds pretty good. I’m also excited about Emilie & The Sky World; I haven’t read the first book yet, but that may well be what I read on the Eurostar today. I’ve loved what I’ve read of Martha Wells’ work.
What’ve you all been getting?
they’re all new to me I confess but I hope you’ll like them. Happy reading!
Thanks, you too!
A Burnable Book sounds promising, happy reading.
It does indeed. Thank you!
So many interesting books. These are new for me. Hope you love them all.
Thank you! Me too, haha.
Haven’t heard of any of these but definitely some ones there I need to check out, in particular, assassins’ dawn and a burnable book!
Here is my STS: http://theirishbookworm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/stacking-shelves-20-books.html?m=1
Thanks for stopping by! I think A Burnable Book is gonna be good, Bruce Holsinger taught an online class on historical fiction I was in…
Great haul of books! I’ve seen the Natasha Mostert books everywhere recently, I remember reading them when they were first published and enjoying them. Happy reading this week 🙂
Ooh, good to know! I think you’re seeing them everywhere because they’re on ‘read now’ on Netgalley. Thanks for dropping by!
There’s nothing better than a Wonder Woman graphic novel! I was really hoping she’d get her own solo movie, but I guess I should be happy that she’s part of the DC movie universe now! Enjoy!
-Scott Reads It!
I haven’t read any Wonder Woman before, or any DC in general, so this should be fun! Thanks.
Nice haul! I got Season of the Witch, too, but I had no idea there were more books in the series. I guess I’ll just read this one and then see if I would like the rest too.
I hope you’ll enjoy all your new books 🙂
I don’t think it’s a series, so you don’t have to worry! Thanks for stopping by.
Oooh, I haven’t read any of these. I hope you enjoy them though.
Thanks!
So many books I don’t know here!
I hope you enjoy all your new reads.
I’m good at that, haha.
Thank you!
These are all new to me but very curious about A Burnable Book. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m hoping A Burnable Book will be really good — Bruce Holsinger taught a historical fiction course I did online! He’s a nice guy, from my experience of that.
Oh, ,I have book one, Emilie and the Hollow World, but I haven’t read it yet. Enjoy your new titles and thanks for visiting Bitches n Prose.
I juuust read that today on the train! It’s fun.
Those look awesome, hope you enjoy them all!
Have great weekend 🙂
Thanks! You too!
I haven’t heard of any of these, but there are some seriously epic and creepy covers there! Happy reading. 🙂 My StS!
I’m lookin’ forward to them. Thanks for dropping by!
I’m SUPER intrigued by the cover of A Thousand Perfect Things! 🙂 Going to have to check it out!!

Thank you! And thanks for commenting.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I’ve never heard of “Emelie & The Sky World” but the title sounds wonderfully amazing, so I’ve added it on to my Wish List, in addition to the first book. 🙂
I hope you enjoy it! I just reviewed the first book here in the past couple of days.
