This week looks quite busy, but I have excuses, I promise…
Library
I’ve been meaning to pick up Bitter Greens for a while, and my sister loves Elizabeth Moon, so that’s why those two — and the non-fiction, well, they were fairly random picks from the library non-fiction section. I do love having random non-fiction to read.
Bought
This looks fairly busy, but I spent less than £5 myself — a friend from a book group bought me Native Tongue, after a discussion went pretty nasty in the group, which picked my mood up greatly. The Terrorists of Irustan was a rec that came out of that, too. And then I spotted Damaged Worlds, which contains those four books plus a short story by Cecilia Tan for under £1. So I thought I might as well give them a go.
So, not a bad haul for me, and pretty cheap too! What’s everyone else been grabbing?
I’m not familiar with any of these books, but I love the cover for The Language Wars. I hope you enjoy all of them!
My StS + a Giveaway!
Thanks! It does have a fun cover.
Nice haul, Nikki! I’m glad a nasty exchange ended up on a very positive note with some good books added to your shelves 🙂
Have a great weekend.
Yep, definitely a nice outcome, heh. Thanks!
Bitter Greens looks really good! I love that cover. Enjoy your new books!
I’ve been meaning to read it for aaaages, so I couldn’t resist when I spotted it in the library!
The Terrorists of Irustan looks like a good read.
Happy Reading 🙂
It comes pretty highly recommended! Thanks.
Great haul, a nice mix of books. I absolutely adore the cover for Bitter Greens, it’s gorgeous! I hope you enjoy them all 🙂 Here’s my STS.
I’m really looking forward to Bitter Greens, I’ve heard good things. Thanks!
Cheap hauls are always great! I hope you enjoy all your new books. 🙂
Yep! Pity they’re few and far between… Thanks!
Your books look fun! I’ve been meaning to read Bitter Greens and I’m interested to see if you like it.
The Language Wars looks right up my alley, will have to see if I can find it. 🙂
I’ve heard mostly good things, so I’m intrigued.
I’m looking forward to that one, too!
Nice! Moon and Forsyth are always great reads, and Tan is always fascinating.
Here’s how I’m Stacking the Shelves
My sister’s a big fan of Elizabeth Moon, she’ll be (heh) over the moon that I’m finally reading some!
Looks like a nice mixture of books there-hope you enjoy your haul! I hope that things are better at your next book group meeting. I find it sad that people can’t discuss a book like adults and disrespect those who disagree with them-you see it all too often on Goodreads. Happy reading!
The book group is actually based on Goodreads, so at least it was easy to kick the guy out of the group and delete his nastiness. He said he was going to send me a proper apology for some of the things he said to me, but strangely enough, there’s no sign…
That’s a different Bitter Greens cover (actually prefer that one, so will have to see where I can get it) 🙂
Here’s mine

I don’t think I’ve seen any of the other covers around! I do like it a lot.
I am not familiar with these, but great haul! Bitter Greens has a Rapunzel look to me, I like the cover!
Yeah, it’s a retelling of Rapunzel, haha. It is a pretty cover!
I haven’t heard of a lot of these, but some look interesting, I’ll have to check them out on Goodreads. Great haul!

Any of them in particular catching your eye? It’s a bit of a random haul for me, really.
