Hey folks! I keep thinking I’m on top of things again and then crumbling by the end of the week, but I swear there’s progress — and I’ve been reading a lot! I’ve also been getting a lot of books! I haven’t included them all this week, only up to Saturday morning, so I’ll still have something to show off next week. 😀
Linking up with The Sunday Post @ The Caffeinated Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves @ Reading Reality & Tynga’s Reviews.
Received to review:
I missed Ring Shout and Boyfriend Material off last week’s post, so here they are now! I’m so excited for these books.

Reviews posted this week:
–Think of England, by K.J. Charles. A whole new pair of flawed idiots to adore and want to smack. Exactly as I hoped. 4/5 stars
–Pet, by Akwaeke Emezi. A deceptively light read that gets to grips with some problems in a utopian society. 4/5 stars
–The Sussex Downs Murder, by John Bude. Pretty much what you’d expect from a British Library Crime Classic, which is not to say it wasn’t enjoyable. 3/5 stars
–How to be an Antiracist, by Ibram X. Kendi. If you’re hoping for a step by step manual, this ain’t it: it’s more of a memoir, though I think it’s helpful to guide you through your own journey. 4/5 stars
Other posts:
–Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Summer TBR. Okay, it was mostly just an excuse to do a list, I’ll admit.
–WWW Wednesday. Chatting about Beneath the World, A Sea and How to be an Antiracist.
How’s everyone doing? Been getting any new books? Looking forward to any new releases? Let me know!
Looks like an exciting bunch of reading. Enjoy.
Here’s hoping! Thanks for dropping by.
Yay for reading! Mine has been down but a few books arrived so I’m hoping it picks up this week!
have a great week!

Yeah… I keep slowing down. I only read one book this week!
I’ve never read a Naomi Novik book before, but A Deadly Education is one I’m looking forward to. And I just added Boyfriend Material to my Goodreads. It sounds fun. I’m not usually a huge fan of the fake-dating trope, but this one seems cute.
Happy reading! And thanks for visiting Shell’s Stories!

Novik’s books are really enjoyable, I find! I always tear right through them. And ack, I still need to start on Boyfriend Material even though I’m really excited about it… Thanks for dropping by!
A Deadly Education! *Envious* 😀
I’m excited for it! And was rather surprised I got approved for it.
I’m really looking forward to A Deadly Education and The Once & Future Witches. Enjoy!
Me too! I pretty much always inhale Naomi Novik’s books, so that’s exciting.
What a fab selection of books. I hope you enjoy the ones you have coming up this week.
Thanks, it’s quite the lineup! 😀
Yes I’ve bought a few books this week as a nice gift to myself for all the work I’ve been doing! Mostly political but a few apocalypse and horror thrown in for good measure!
Sounds like the perfect mix for you!
