Technically, I think this might be an unStacking week, but I found some books I never featured so hey! They get their chance to shine this week. Also, I haven’t been doing much unstacking anyway, given that I am hurtling towards my final exams (and caught a horrible stupid virus).
But first, of course, here’s a bunny pic, since I’m still away from them. Breakfast wants to know what y’all are doing!
And here’s the new(ish) books!
New books:
A rather random assemblage, but that will surprise no one when it comes to me!
Books read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts, by Christopher de Hamel. I found this really relaxing to read, just something where I could let tons of information wash over me while enjoying descriptions of beautiful books. 4/5 stars
–Seven Dead, by J. Jefferson Farjeon. Melodramatic, of course, but also oddly compelling just from the weirdness of the opening. 4/5 stars
–On a Red Station, Drifting, by Aliette de Bodard. This writer has a gift for complex characters you can’t quite root for, but who seem very human all the same. (Even when they’re not.) I enjoyed this, and I’m looking forward to trying more of the stories in the same world. 4/5 stars
Other posts:
–Discussion: Romance. Tl;dr? Don’t knock romance just because it’s not your thing.
–WWW Wednesday. The weekly update on what’s on my plate or, er, stack right now. Spoiler: too many books at once.
So, what’re you reading? Stacking your shelves with anything fascinating? I can’t promise I’ll comment back immediately (EXAM TIME!), but I always do visit back in the end!
I’ve got everything crossed for your exam success! You certainly deserve it with all the work you put in. Y’know, I can never get over how cute your bunnies are every time you post about them!
Thank you. <3
Aw, cute pic. And good luck with exams!!
The Vikings looks interesting. I’m a sucker for anything Vikings- related. 🙂

I’m a bit of a sucker for Vikings, too. My first degree featured a lot of Old Norse stuff!
Cute bunny. Good luck with the exam, and enjoy your new books!

The cover of The Henchmen of Zenda looks really cool! Off to look it up!

I’m looking forward to reading the original The Prisoner of Zenda in preparation for reading it! Apparently good swashbuckling fun. 😀
