Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to showcase all the goodies we got in the mail this week, be that books for review, ebooks, or print copies.
Since I'm still on my book buying ban, this week was quiet.
A Perfect Blood, by Kim Harrison
The Queens and the Hive, by Edith Sitwell
The UK paperback of A Perfect Blood is one I already preordered months ago and I can't wait to read it! I'm a huge fan of The Hollows, the series pretty much introduced me to Urban Fantasy :)
The Queens and the Hive is one I need for a seminar on Queens, Glamour, Power, and Femininity. We look at different representations and (re)figurings of Queens in literature, painting, and film. The books is not readily available anymore, so mine is a secondhand copy from amazon printed in 1971. It's all yellowed with age and has this wonderful old book smell ^^
Next up on my NetGalley pile are these two:
I'm excited to read them and hope I can get a review up before the release dates.
But enough about my pile, what did you have in yours?
Congrats on all the new books! I hope you enjoy them all. ^.^ If you would like to you can check out my Stacking The Shelves post here. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't preordered anything for a while. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Shadow Society, great haul. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteShadow Society looks interesting. A haul that has some diversity in it. The Queen book looks interesting.

I have the Shadow Society too and will hopefully get around to it soon. I have so many books at the moment where I've already missed the release date so I really need to get a move on. Enjoy all your books.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Stack :)
Omg Shadow Society!!! Lucky you! I want to check that out when it comes out. So impatient for books to come out and I end up requesting so many from NetGalley lol

I'm also on a book buying ban. Pretty hard isn't it? I cheated today, again...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and enjoy your new books!
Ha, when I requested Midnight City on NG, I thought I was requesting The Shadow City...both covers are similar and both sound great, so it's no matter. But I'd still like to read TSC. Can't wait to see what you think of it. Happy reading!
