Aaand it’s Saturday, and time for Stacking the Shelves, as usual hosted by Tynga’s Reviews!
And wow, I have a lot to show off this week — a couple of ARCs, more books than I expected to buy (I deserve it, I gave blood!), and a whole stack of books from Bookmooch. (If you have a Bookmooch account and you ship to the UK, link me! I have a ridiculous backlog of points and an eclectic taste in books.)
ARCs/review copies
Bought

I’ve been most excited about The Gospel of Loki, by Joanne Harris, because I’ve had it preordered for a while. I’m halfway through it already, though goodness knows I’m halfway through a lot of books. I’m excited about the ARCs from Angry Robot: I’ve meant to try Marianne de Pierres before, and I read Jay Posey’s first book, Three, a while ago. And the third review copy, well, hopefully I’ll be interviewing Eva Stachniak here on my blog around March ish.
Needless to say, I am also very excited about Avengers: The Enemy Within, as it continues Captain Marvel’s current storyline. I’ve flicked through it already and it contains such gems as this:
Carol: You like hitting stuff with that hammer of yours?
Thor: It is an act of which I am singularly fond.
So what’re you all reading, guys?
WOW, great stack this week! I hope you enjoy them all!

Thank you! Me too, haha.
How do you go about picking which one to start with. I always have that trouble. =)
With great, great difficulty is the only answer I can offer!
=)
What a great haul! There are some awesome cover there 🙂

There really are — especially Marianne de Pierres’ new one, I think. Joey Hi-Fi always does great covers. Thanks for dropping by!
I don’t recognise a lot of these books, but I have read Fangirl which I enjoyed! I hope you like all of your books 🙂
A couple of people I know have been talking about it, so I’m quite intrigued. Though I’m forbidden to start reading new books with my massive backlog of half-finished books… Thanks for dropping by!
wow many books I saw peacemaker on netgalley but didn’t ask for it, I hope you’ll enjoy all your new books. Happy reading!
I generally go for everything Angry Robot puts out, haha. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for stopping by my STS! I heard Fangirl is great, enjoy!
Thank you!
I also want to read The Gospel of Loki but I haven’t purchased a copy yet. It’s not available locally so I have to order online. I have high stack of books this month too and I’m trying my best not to buy anything unless I’ve read everything.
I had it preordered. I’m really fascinated by Norse mythology, and I’ve always enjoyed Joanne Harris’ other work, so… it was irresistible!
Great haul! Fangirl is on my lengthy TBR pile. Enjoy your reads!

Yeah, goodness knows I don’t know when Fangirl will get to the top of mine. When I talk about Mount TBR, I’m not kidding, haha.
They look great! I hope you can stop by mine.
Hopefully they are, haha.
Oh my gosh. Books for blood? That’s the best line ever, although I don’t think I could do it because I have a severe phobia of all things needles. But they should give you books after you’ve finished draining your blood cells instead of sugary tea. Or both. Both is good. Happy reading! And thanks for stopping by mine!
Haha, I can’t say I looked at the needle at aaaall. My dad was with me and I just chatted to him while I kept clenching my fist to help it along. It feels kinda like getting pins and needles, but it’s not painful aside from the initial bit.
I got water and some biscuits, which I was happy enough with, and then I made a beeline for the nearest bookstore. It’s my response to everything. *shifty look*
It’s been years since I read them, but I throughly remember loving the Landover books (I remember it so well because I don’t really like the rest of his writing), so I hope they’re as good as I remember.
I haven’t read any of his before, so I picked this one as a light way in (plus, it was the only one available on Bookmooch, haha).
Oh, Fangirl! I loved that book. I hope you like that one, too. Enjoy reading it!
Thanks! I hope so too.
I loved Fangirl, and based on the cover alone I want to read Empress of the Night. I don’t even care what it’s about…well I do a bit. Great haul!
My StS
I’m really looking forward to Fangirl, from what everyone’s said about it. And Empress of the Night is a historical novel about Catherine the Great, so it should be really interesting!
Awesome books!!
Check out our STS.

Thanks for dropping by!
There are some new to me books up there that I will be checking out 🙂 Great haul
Anything in particular? I’m always curious about things like that, haha. Thanks for commenting!
Great haul. I recently got Fangirl and I can’t wait to read it, I have heard so many amazing things about that book. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂 My STS.
I’m looking forward to it, too! Although I must be good and not sneak it to the front of the queue…
You got some good ones. I loved The Pirate’s Wish and Fangirl. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
Yeah, I can’t wait to read The Pirate’s Wish, I finally got round to reading The Assassin’s Curse a couple of days ago.
Ooooh, I LOVED Fangirl! Rowell is a talented writer and her characters always win me over! Enjoy!
I’m looking forward to it, from everything people have said!
Nice haul – you’ll be busy for a while 😉 The Thirteenth Tale was very good and Fangirl was too. Seriously love Rainbow Rowell. Here’s ours you’re interested: BiblioJunkies Happy Reading! ~ Bel
That’s my hope at least — I do read fairly ferociously, though!
You got some interesting books. I hope you enjoy them
Thanks!
Awesome haul! I also really wanna read The Thirteenth Tale and Fangirl.
Thanks for dropping by my StS!
I’m definitely looking forward to those! Thanks for commenting back.
I am really exited about Fangirl, too. And my, you got a lot of great-looking books last week. I hope you’ll enjoy them all 🙂
Sorry it took me so long to visit you back, my classes have started again, and it’s hard to get back into a normal rhythm.
Have a great week and happy reading.
Me too, haha.
Oh, I know how that goes! Hope you’re having a good week.
