Yay, it’s Sunday Saturday (I can do the days of the week!) and I have some books to show off! Tynga’s Reviews, as usual, is hosting Stacking the Shelves.
So first things first, a new library opened in Caerphilly. It is lovely, and only getting four books out was a heroic feat.
And then yesterday after my shift as an RNIB volunteer, I ended up in the hospital’s WHSmith, which was dangerous. They always have buy one, get one half price, but I couldn’t find a fourth I was interested in. Which is probably all to the good.
I’m most excited about Fanny & Stella, which I’ve already started reading. It’s a bit sensationalised, but I think the subjects would’ve loved that. Not the trial for “conspiracy to commit buggery”, but the very exuberant, flamboyant biography.
And finally, here are two pictures of my makeshift bookshelf, containing almost all the books I dragged with me for a five-week trip to my parents’ (minus the comics, which’re on a different shelf).
Oh I have the Iron Wyrm Affair since its release but I still haven’t read it… I really need to because I heard so many great things about it! I also want to try the Cherie Priest book, but I need to buy them first. Well in any case, I hope you’ll like all your new books. Happy reading!
I don’t know what I think of it yet, but it does seem very fun! Re: Cherie Priest, I like some of her work and I’m loss fond of the other stuff, so I don’t know if I’m going to like Dreadnought, but I hoooope so.
Happy reading to you too!
That Fanny and Stella one looks interesting, and I feel your pain with the makeshift bookshelf. Mine is pretty much nonexistent after moving rooms. At least yours look organized!

They only look organised because you can’t see the mess I made of the rest of the room to achieve this, haha. I just have too many books left here from before I moved out to use my old shelves…
The first four books in your post this week have really amazing covers. I love how steampunky they are.

Huh, you know, I hadn’t noticed that theme going on!
lovely looking books this week.
Happy reading.
Thank you!
Loving the covers on these books! Enjoy them! 🙂
Yeah, they all look pretty fun. Thanks!
The Iron Wyrm Affair looks really interesting. And now it’s really tempting to check out that new library in Caerphilly! Enjoy your book and thanks for stopping by. 🙂
It’s very Sherlock Holmes-esque, but with a female sorceress protagonist!
It is a lovely library. I spent quite a bit of time just going oooh at the selection.
I haven’t read any of these but happy reading!
Tsuki’s STS
Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by my STS! These are all new to me, but I love the covers. Happy reading!
You’re welcome! Thanks for returning the visit. And yeah, there are some preeetty cool covers this week.
I haven’t heard of any of these. Hope you can stop by mine.
Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome haul! I like the look of The Iron Wyrn Affair. I hope you enjoy all of these wonderful books =)
Thank you! It does look fun.
These look great! The Iron Wyrm Affair reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes book. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my Sts!
I think that’s the idea! It makes me think of the recent films with Robert Downey Junior and Jude Law, with the aesthetic. And the story is so far very Sherlock Holmes-esque.
Don’t know why but LongBourn looks good. Great haul this week.
If you’re interested in Jane Austen’s work, it might be of interest? It’s Pride and Prejudice from the point of view of the servants. I’m not the biggest Jane Austen fan myself, but I’m slowly gaining an appreciation of her work…
Nice mixture of books in your haul this week! I loved Cherie Priest’s urban fantasy books but sadly I’m just not a steampunk fan! Enjoy your books and thanks for visiting my blog!
Yeah, I like to keep things eclectic. I agree on loving Cherie Priest’s urban fantasy: I didn’t like Boneshaker very much when I read that, but I wanted to give the series a second chance after loving the Cheshire Red books.
Cool haul. I love the cover of the Iron Wyrm Affair and LongBourn looks great too. Thanks for stopping by my StS.
Yeah, it looks really cool. Thank you for dropping by my blog in return!
That LongBourn book looks good! Lots of great selections! Happy Reading! If you’d like, you can stop by my STS Following your blog and,if you’re not already following mine, would love a follow back please, 🙂
Thanks for commenting!
Great haul! Wow that’s a lot of books for five weeks! I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂 My STS.
Around 60! I read an average of a book a day, so it’s probably a bit overenthusiastic, but not by toooo much. Thank you for commenting!
I’m not familiar with any of these. Actually, I’ve heard good things about Longburn, but haven’t read it. I hope you love all your new lovelies! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m enjoying it so far! I read some reviews and was feeling uncertain, but perhaps because I’m not an enormous fan of Austen, I’m okay with the “liberties” that bother other people.
Thanks!
Oooh, more Cherie Priest? 😀 Also, the comments here make the Iron Wyrm Affair sound good.
Yeah — have I mentioned her steampunk books to you? If you’re interested, I’m sure something could be arranged…
The Iron Wyrm Affair is fun so far, at least!
Greatshadow looks interesting to read. Dragon books will always get my attention. Sorry for the late visit.
Yeah, I need to get round to it — I’m a sucker for dragons too.
