Stacking the Shelves/The Sunday Post

Posted May 31, 2025 by Nicky in General / 5 Comments

Hello again, folks! This one’s been written in advance since I’ll be out today, so here’s hoping I haven’t missed anything…

Books acquired this week

None… yet! Today I’m off to York to visit Portal Bookshop and Criminally Good Books, so I imagine there’ll be new books to show off next week. Gotta stock up, since my first exam is on Monday — books to help me relax definitely needed!

Posts from this week

As usual, let’s have a bit of a review roundup!

What I’m reading

This week I’ve been focusing on finishing up my books for my Bookspin Bingo card on Litsy. That slowed me up a bit as some of them were slower reads, but here’s what I’ve finished this week and plan to review on the blog at some point:

Cover of Spirits Abroad by Zen Cho Cover of Medieval Graffiti by Matthew Champion Cover of Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher

Cover of Advocate by Daniel M. Ford Cover of The Apothecary Diaries (light novel) volume 4 Cover of The Mark of Zorro by Johnston McCulley Cover of The Undetectables by Courtney Smyth

Today (Saturday) won’t have a lot of time for reading, but I do want to finish Sorcery and Small Magics (Maiga Doocy) today, to get a bingo on my Bookspin Bingo card on Litsy (latest version here!). Sunday I’ll just read whatever strikes me as fun, since my first exam is on Monday (as mentioned above) and I want to be nice and relaxed for it.

In case you were wondering if I ought to be studying, nope: it’s an open book exam, I won’t know the complex material any better for looking at it for two extra days, and because it’s a gruelling experience (8-10 hours of work) I really need to be rested and refreshed.

Hope everyone’s having a good weekend!

Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz, as usual!

  1. I always write (and schedule) my posts in advance so I have time to make sure I’ve included everything and that I don’t have to be sitting directly in front of my computer at all times. It’s a handy thiing to do.
