Stacking the Shelves

Posted March 22, 2014 by Nicky in General / 28 Comments

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…

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!

  1. 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!

  2. 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.)

  3. 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.
