It’s been a quiet reading week, but the acquisitions have been rolling in. It’s not as bad as it looks, though; some of these were bought a week or two ago and only just arrived. There’ll be another box of books soon, too…
Linking up with The Sunday Post @ The Caffeinated Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves @ Reading Reality & Tynga’s Reviews.
New books acquired:
With special thanks to the friend who got me The Brilliant Death! 😀
Received to review:
Thank you, Tor!
Read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–Widdershins, by Jordan L. Hawk. A fun mystery/romance, very much in K.J. Charles’ line. 4/5 stars
–Exploring English Castles, by Edd Morris. Neither fish nor fowl, really; not that great despite some pretty photos. 2/5 stars
Other posts:
–Top Ten Tuesday: A Bookish Party. Arranging a party isn’t really my sort of thing, but this one could be fun if I ever did it…
–WWW Wednesday. Mostly Nine Coaches Waiting and a last look back at Grave Importance.
Out and about:
–NEAT science: ‘An internal alarm clock.‘ A bit about hibernation.
–NEAT science: ‘An unexpected bonus.‘ How the BCG vaccination might be repurposed…
How’re you guys doing? Anything new and exciting?
Nice haul! Enjoy and thanks for stopping by my stack.

Thank you! 😀 Thanks for dropping by.
That’s a great haul! I really enjoyed Spin the Dawn and Last Smile in Sunder City, and I also grabbed The Echo Wife this week
I picked up Last Smile in Sunder City because of your review — it sounded just the thing for my current mood!
I’ve been curious about Last Smile in Sunder City – I look forward to your thoughts on that one. I finally finished Kingdom of Souls this week, which is good and just not my bag although I still struggle to pinpoint what it is about so many YA titles (so for now I’ll leave it at ‘I’m not the target audience anyway, and that’s fine’). I’m relishing The Goblin Emperor – partly by contrast, I suppose, but mostly because it’s just so good 🙂
Otherwise, this weekend has been mostly about baking and feeling smug that I didn’t cock any of it up. All my practice seems to be paying off – we breakfasted on homemade croissants this morning. Yum.

The Last Smile in Sunder City sounds like fun, so I’m looking forward to it! I read the preview to make my mind up and was veryyyy curious.
Oooh, croissants…
Your review books look interesting. Enjoy
Thanks for dropping by! I’m looking forward to them. 😀
Glad to see the Book-ish books got to you safely!
Albeit slightly too early on a Saturday morning… mrerfff. 😀
I just picked up a copy of Spin the Dawn this week too. Couldn’t resist the sale on Amazon and I’ve heard so many good things about that book.
Same! I’m looking forward to giving it a try.
