The fun thing about Saturdays: doing my Stacking the Shelves post (hosted, as usual, by Tynga’s Reviews)! This week has been quite busy, though mostly because of library books. Because I don’t have a mountain of ARCs or a TBR list longer than my entire body…
Freebies
Bought
Gifted (from the lovely Lynn O’Connacht!)
Netgalley
Library (ebooks)
Library books
Comics (issues)
So I don’t even know where to start with what I’m excited about here. It’s my typical really really random selection. I’ll probably read the graphic novels soon — I’m partway through the Oz one, though it’s making my eyes roll out of my head, and the Sif one is pretty short and Sif is pretty awesome, so. Other than that, I’m in a science type of mood, so Spillover or The Eerie Silence are probably up next. Or I might go for Knight’s Fee because it’s a Rosemary Sutcliff book I haven’t read and those’re getting pretty rare. Oh, and I already read Frances Hardinge’s Cuckoo Song. It’s amazing.
What’s everyone else been up to? Anything you’re excited about this week?
Oh, and a few I keep forgetting to add that I was sent a month or so ago!
You’ve had a busy week! I love it when you get that really great book haul of what looks like amazing books! Enjoy!
Part of the problem of a) new libraries nearby and b) being a library volunteer in a different library. *grin* Thanks!
What a great haul – you got plenty this week. 🙂 I’ve seen Cuckoo Song on quite many list today, maybe I should request it too.. Happy reading!
It’s lovely — I’m a big fan of the author.
Glad to hear you enjoyed The Cuckoo song, I have that one from NetGalley and it sounded really freaking creepy, so I’m looking forward to scaring myself silly, most likely. 😀

I didn’t find it creepy, in the end. More… sad. And unexpected in some ways.
You got a lot of books this week! I hope you enjoy them all 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Thank you! You too.
I’m not familiar with most of these, but it looks like a great haul! I hope you enjoy all of them.
My StS
Thank you!
Most of these are new to me except Adaptation which sounds interesting! Enjoy!
My Stack
My sister read it earlier this year and loved it, so I’m hopeful!
So many! So tempting! I hope you’ll have fun with all of them.
Thank you! And yes, so much temptation…
Okay, I need to read this Liu chick because her books look awesome.
They do look really fun! The friend who sent them on to me really liked them.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the shiny bookses! <3 I hope you'll enjoy the lot! <3 (I think the Beatrix Potter one is the one I'm most interested in, of those. Maybe? I think so. It sounds shiniest.)
I’m quite interested to read more about Beatrix Potter, yeah. I mean, I know her as an author but very little about her as a person!
I think all I know about Beatrix Potter is what was in the film they made. Based on that, even allowing for the adaptations, you should be in for a fascinating read? I hope so. (And lookit WordPress’s new little smiley icons. D’awww.)
I think she should be pretty fascinating, yeah! Though a history of the Natural History museum has grabbed my attention for now…
Wow! You got a really good haul in this week! Hope you enjoy all these books 🙂 Happy reading!
The upside (or the perils) of being a library volunteer! Haha.
Oh my goodness, what a huge haul, Nikki! I love Marjorie Lu, I hope you’ll enjoy her books as well. A lot of your other new books are all new to me, but several look really great.
I hope you’ve had a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by earlier.
Oooh, good to know. They’ve come highly recommended already, but it’s always good to hear more praise for them.
Thanks!
Great and rather large haul this week! I hope you enjoy your books and thanks for stopping by my haul 🙂
Yeaaaah, the joys of being a library volunteer (though really, that library only accounts for four of these, but ssh). Thanks! Have a good week.
Lots of books this week! I have to admit that I’m not familiar with most of these, but I’m loving the cover for Orion’s Kiss. I hope you love them all!
My next post is looking to be rather overstuffed as well! Ten books already, two more library reservations awaiting me… Oh dear. Thanks for dropping by!
