It wasn’t going to be a busy week for books. Then there were libraries, and my sister wanted to go to Waterstones, and… yeah. So, as usual, here’s my Stacking the Shelves post!
Fiction (library)
Fiction (bought)
Non-fiction (bought)

That may have got a little… out of hand. Anyway, I’ve read a couple of these already, and I’m partway through a couple more. I’m actually looking forward to the non-fiction book about Marvel quite a bit, but also The Girl With All The Gifts, as someone in a book club I’m in praised it to the skies. And Steelheart I’ve been coveting for a couple of weeks now.
What’s anyone else excited about?
I loved Steelheart when I read it, so I hope you enjoy it. And Dianne Wynne Jones’ books are great. Enjoy your books and thanks for stopping by.
I’ve been eyeing it for aagggeeess. I might even move it up the to read stack a bit… Thanks!
You were busy! I can’t borrow any books at the moment. My local library is temporarily closed down while they wait for a new one to be built somewhere else. The shopping centre next door to it bought them out to expand.
A new library opened up near here — or, well, re-opened after refurbishment, which has resulted in me being really quite doomed. *grin* Not that I mind. Boo for libraries being closed, though.
Great haul of books! And let’s face it, is it possible to go to the library/Waterstones without leaving with at least one book? Or is that just me?! You got some great books, I’ve Got Girl With All the Gifts from the library as I’ve been impatiently waiting to read it. Love Diana Wynne Jones, can’t believe there will be no more new books from her. Steelheart is on my Kindle waiting to be read along with another one of his books – I have too many books I want to read right now 🙂
Hope you enjoy them all and happy reading!
Yeah, I requested The Girl With All The Gifts on Edelweiss, I think, but never got it. So yay for libraries! And yeah, I’m almost putting off starting Chaldea now… though I do still have some Diana Wynne Jones books from earlier in her career I haven’t read. Too Many Books syndrome…
Thanks! I hope you have a good week.
I haven’t gotten a chance to read anything from Brandon Sanderson but all of his books seem to be on my TBR list. He comes across a really talented writer. Great haul! Happy reading and have a great weekend. 🙂
I’ve read one of his novellas, but I think that’s it. I have a whole bunch of his books on the TBR, though. He seems to build really interesting worlds.
Thanks, you too!
I just saw The Girl With All the Gifts over at Waterstones yesterday – I have NO IDEA what it’s about, but it looks really intriguing 🙂
Happy reading and have a good weekend!
I’ve been told not to read reviews and spoilers before I read it because it has a twist, so I can’t enlighten you much…
Thanks, you too!
I gotta pick up taste by maria, and Louise ‘ s book looks awesome. Your hauls always introduce me to new authors. I also have Sanderson’s Steelheart, I’ve got to get to it soon. Great haul I hope you enjoy your reads.
Maria V. Snyder is always fun, though I haven’t started reading this series yet (I was waiting for it to be complete). I have faaar too many books I need to get too soon… Hope you have a good week!
I love the comics awesome score. I also want to get my hands on Taste of Darkness. I hope you enjoy them all!

I got the ARC a while ago, but didn’t get round to it… When I spotted it on the Kindle UK store for 99p, my fate was sealed, haha. Thanks!
I really need to try this Snyder series, I heard so many great things about it! Happy reading!
I haven’t read this series, but I normally do really enjoy her books. Thanks!
I love the Healer series! I think I might actually love it more than the Study series, but they’re pretty close. Enjoy your haul. 🙂
I haven’t read the first two books yet, but now I will! Thanks.
You have some smart looking books this week. Enjoy them 🙂 My STS
Thanks!
Incredible haul, lovely mixed lot. Steelheart looks awesome, I’ve seen a few blogs singing the praises of Brandon Sanderson lately, so I’ll definitely have to check him out. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your new reads.
I like it best that way, haha. And yeah, I haven’t read much Sanderson yet, but I have heard such good things. Thanks!
Wow…It looks like you have a wide variety of book. I haven’t read any of these, but I hope you enjoy all of them.
Thanks for stopping by my STS!!
Yeah, I like it that way. Lots of variety keeps me happy! Thanks for commenting!
*moves Steelheart to the top of the pile* Oops, how did that get there? I’m a huge Sanderson fan and loved that one, so I hope you get to it soon 😀
Anya @ On Starships and Dragonwings
Haha, I’m about to go on a trip without taking any dead tree books with me, so Steelheart will have to wait a little… but after that!
That’s a great variety of books you’ve got there! I hope you enjoy them all! 🙂
Thank you!
Great haul! I have been going back and forth on getting Steelheart, but haven’t read the others. Hope you enjoy them, thanks for stopping by my STS 🙂
Thank you! People are saying Steelheart is good…
Look at all of these goodies! The only one I’ve read is Steelheart, and I wasn’t too impressed with it. I hope you enjoy all of your new reads!
Thanks for visiting my haul.
Oh, not good to hear… Oh well, it’s worth a try. Thanks!
I always wondered about Taste of Darkness. Great haul.
I like Snyder’s books, usually. Haven’t read the earlier books in this particular series yet, though…
WOW, you have quite an awesome mix of books this week! They look amazing, and I hope you’ll enjoy them all.
Thanks for stopping by earlier 🙂
Thank you!
Haha! Same for me! I avoided the library and I didn’t think I was getting any ARC packages…buuut, the postman proved me wrong. 😉 Still, I got some awesome surprises this week! Loving your haul! I hope you enjoy them all. My StS!
I meant to avoid the library…
Steelheart! I still have to pick up a copy, I’ll have to soon, I was going to buy it when it came out and just forgot, oops. Haha. 🙂 Happy reading!
Here’s mine

For some reason, my browser isn’t letting me reply to yours, so I’ll say here — I hope you enjoy your new books! Thanks for dropping by.
Great haul! I’ve heard such good things about Steelheart, really want to read that one myself lol. I hope you enjoy your books 🙂 My STS.
I got impatient with waiting for the library copy to be free, haha…
I can’t wait to read The Girl With All The Gifts. It looks so good!
I wanted the ARC a while ago but didn’t get it, so I pounced when I spotted it in the library!
Steelheart was really good, I hope you enjoy it!
Missie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Thanks! Good to know.
Some really interesting books here! I really want to read The Girl With All The Gifts. I’m Stacking My Shelves with books you might not have heard of…
I wanted the ARC a while back, but didn’t get it, so I’m interested to tuck in now I’ve got it from the library.
