Hello, everyone! This week, I have a relatively small haul — I think it might be the first time in a while I’ve really shown any restraint! I’m now trying not to buy any books until Christmas, so it’ll hopefully just be library books from here on out… I have just one new-to-me owned book this week, and that came via Illumicrate (which I need to review).
I’ve heard a lot about this one, so I’m excited for it!
Library
The Abercrombie books are rereads; I’ve never read Mercedes Lackey and spotted the omnibus of those at the library and thought, eh, why not?; Cait @ Paper Fury demanded I read some Maggie Stiefvater; and finally, I had access to Wolfhound Century on Netgalley… many moons ago. It’s time I actually reviewed it.
How’s everyone been? Interesting hauls? Tell!
Incidentally, I recently passed my 1,000th post and my 1,000th follower, and this is my 100th STS post. Definitely time to celebrate! But, does anyone know of a giveaway widget that works with WordPress-hosted blogs? Rafflecopter does not, as I recall.
I keep hearing about Wolf by Wolf, it sounds like one I need to add to my list of books to buy. Shiver is a great read, I really enjoyed it when I read it. Hope you enjoy reading your new books!
Here’s my Weekly wrap up/stacking the shelves post:

I’ve been hearing very good things, so I’m hopeful! And I’ve been avoiding Stiefvater long enough now, methinks… heh.
Wolf by Wolf seems to be a popular book, as I’ve been seeing it around regularly. Happy Reading!
Possibly a bit more this week, thanks to Illumicrate! Heh. Thanks for dropping by.
Awesome haul. A Lot of people loved Wolf by Wolf. Hope you enjoy all your new reads. Maggie S. is a writer that all her books get better. Have a lovely weekend.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to finally trying Stiefvater’s work.
What a coincidence, I JUST started Wolf by Wolf last night. Isn’t it the most interesting premise? I was really drawn to it too, glad I found a chance to pick it up. I hope you enjoy!
I’d been hearing amazing things about it, so fingers crossed!
I really enjoyed Stiefvater’s Shiver series, Nikki, and I hope you will, too! The covers for Mercedes Lackey’s books are gorgeous 🙂
Good job on not getting too big a haul this week, and also because you were able to get these goodies from the library 🙂
Have a great weekend and happy reading.
I’m looking forward to them! And yes, libraries are amazing. Hope you had a good weekend too.
I’ve always been a huge Mercedes Lackey fan. She can seem a bit dated, in a world of grimdark and sprawling epics, but she is always my go-to author for a more traditional fantasy. Her co-authored novels with James Mallory are fantastic.
I haven’t read much of Lackey’s work at all! I’m looking forward to giving her a try.
I haven’t heard of illumicrate before, I’ll be interested to see your review. I had a quick look on the site but they don’t show any pictures of what was in past boxes.
I’m going to check out all of the books you listed, I’ve only heard of Shiver, all of the others are new to me!

That’s because this was their first box! It was quite nice, and gorgeously presented.
