Happy Saturday! It was going to be an Unstacking, and then people on Netgalley decided to be generous… Also, I have read a lot this week, and it makes me happy. I might actually end up hitting my yearly goals by accident.
Received to review:
New Scalzi! Kameron Hurley! Excited!
Finished this week:
Quite a few of these (Narnia, Throne of Glass) were rereads, but all the same, what a week! Whew.
Reviews posted this week:
–She-Hulk: The Complete Collection vol 1, by Dan Slott et al. Fun, though I think it lost momentum somewhat. 3/5 stars
–Gut, by Giulia Enders. Irreverent and definitely aimed at the layman, and therefore quite a lot of fun. 3/5 stars
–Emma, by Jane Austen. I hate Emma, as a character. ’nuff said. 2/5 stars
–The Boys from Brazil, by Ira Levin. Not a fan, let’s say. 2/5 stars
–The Man Everybody Was Afraid Of, by Joseph Hansen. There’s a lot of red herrings and such here, but it’s still a solid story. 3/5 stars
–Moon Tiger, by Penelope Lively. This is also a book I wasn’t a fan of. Very consciously literary, and unlikeable characters to boot. 1/5 stars
–Flashback Friday: Cold Night Lullaby, by Colin MacKay. Do you want to make yourself cry in the most undignified way you can imagine? This might help. 5/5 stars

Got something to look forward to in the next week? Share!
Congratulations on your reading for this week-pretty impressive! Good luck on reaching your goal for the year. I’m determined to hit a bigger target next year. I might have reached 300 books read if it hadn’t been for that summer reading slump! Oh well, maybe next year…Hope you have another good reading week!

I’m about 25 books off reaching it, but if I continue at this pace, I can do it! Not that it’s desperately important for me to do so — I keep reminding myself of that, too.
Four books so far, so yeah, pretty good! Heh. Hope you’re getting plenty of reading done too!
I saw the new Scalzi, and was tempted by the new Kameron Hurley, but I really need to clean up my review pile before requesting anything new.

I should do that, probably… but it was just too tempting!
Wow, you read a lot this week! How did you like Throne of Glass? That’s one of my favorite series. I haven’t read the newest book, Empire of Storms, yet.
Happy reading! Here’s my STS
I enjoyed rereading it, it’s a fun series! Not perfect, but lots of fun.
Ha! I have a love/hate relationship when NetGalley are generous! I hope you have a great reading week.

I’ve been catching up with my Netgalley backlog a lot, so it’s not toooo dangerous…
Wow I thought I finished a lot of books this week, but you put me to shame! Great job unstacking those shelves 🙂
I’ve read four books since this post went up, too! I’m a reading machine right now.
Wow, you are on a roll! So many books read! I remember seeing a lot of buzz surrounding Ready Player One, but I never really was interested enough to check it out. I do like its cover. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
Have a fabulous week, Nikki. 🙂
Check out my STS post!

I liked Ready Player One, but Armada (which is the one I read this week) was kind of disappointing. Thanks for dropping by!
