Stacking the Shelves & The Sunday Post

Posted March 14, 2026 by Nicky in General / 0 Comments

Hurrah, it’s the weekend! I hope everyone has fun plans.

Books acquired this week

Somehow it’s that time of month again already — my British Library Crime Classic subscription book has arrived! It’s quite the chonker, and not one I’d heard of before. My curiosity is piqued. In addition, two preorders came along, one via the mail and one landing on my ereader: I believe volume 13 wraps up the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua, while Nobody’s Baby is a sequel to a book I quite enjoyed.

So I’ll have to get busy to re-clear the decks ready for my graduation spree at the end of the month!

What I’m reading

As usual, let’s start with what I’ve been reading with a sneak peek at the books I’m going to review on the blog sometime soon:

There were a couple of rereads too, as I prepared myself for the newest Singing Hills novella. All in all, a pretty good reading week, even if I had trouble concentrating for a couple of days due to pain after a dental procedure. (I’m doing better now, though it still hurts to chew!)

As for this weekend, I’m planning to read the remaining volumes of the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua adaptation. I might also start on T. Kingfisher’s Swordheart, since I have Daggerbound to review.

But, as ever… it’ll be down to my whim.
