Stacking The Shelves (Reading Reality) and The Sunday Post (Caffeinated Reviewer) are both blog memes about sharing the books we’re adding to the shelves and sharing news of the week ahead.
New Arrivals
A pair of digital review titles found their way to me this week, courtesy of Sourcebooks and Simon & Schuster.
- Reign by Bethan Croome is a story of found family, forbidden love, and a heroine who refuses to kneel... a fierce feminist romantasy about choosing freedom over fear and setting fire to the throne.
- Year of the Mer by L. D. Lewis is a dark, bloody epic fantasy reimagining of The Little Mermaid that goes far beyond the fairy tale to explore family legacy, war, and what we will sacrifice for vengeance—the perfect read for fans of The Priory of the Orange Tree and Circe.
After a few weeks of restraining my urges, I also splurged on some new paperbacks this week, two of which are new bundles of stories from the Necroscope saga, and two I picked up for the trans rights readathon:
- Necroscope: The Last of the Lost Years, Vol. I by Brian Lumley: Stories included in this collection include In Dublin's Fair City, Dinosaur Dreams, The Plague-Bearer, and Harry and the Pirates.
- Necroscope: The Last of the Lost Years, Vol. II by Brian Lumley: Stories included in this collection include Dead Eddy, The Möbius Murders, For the Dead Travel Slowly, Old Man with a Blade, and Resurrection.
- By Way of Sorrow by Robyn Gigl: Crackling with authenticity and featuring a protagonist who, like the author, is a transgender attorney, BY WAY OF SORROW is both a gritty, riveting legal thriller and an “Own Voices” story bringing much-needed diversity to the genre.
- The Synthetic Sister by Tanya Mondragon: When FBI profiler Cameron Raines survives a brutal attack by an underground biotech experiment, he wakes up transformed—his body rewritten into a replica of his murdered sister.
Currently Reading
Not a lot of time for reading this week with one more novella to proofread and a full novel to edit, but The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub has found its way back into my hands along with Azure Bonds by Kate Novak & Jeff Grubb.
