Stacking the Shelves & The Sunday Post

Posted by on

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 trio of digital downloads to start the week. 
  • As Old As Thyme by Alix Nicoud: A T4T F/M childhood best friends to lovers medieval romance novella between a HRT-brewing bisexual wise woman and the gray-aroace scammer who walks back into her life.
  • The Giantess's Valley by Jenna Sahara: For readers who crave size difference erotica with heart, detailed worldbuilding, and encounters that push every boundary.
  • Guardians of the Holy Grail by Preston William Child: Archaeologist Dr. Laura Stevens leads an expedition beneath the Temple Mount, searching for traces of a forgotten past. What she uncovers could rewrite history.

And a stack of paperbacks from the used bookstore to end the week.

  • Belgarath the Sorcerer by David & Leigh Eddings: the first of two prequels to The Belgariad and The Malloreon, the other featuring Polgara the Sorceress.
  • First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks: prequel to the original Shannara trilogy, introducing us to both Bremen and Jerle Shannara.
  • Isle Witch by Terry Brooks: the first book of The Voyage Of The Jerle Shannara, which takes us outside the lands of the original trilogies for the first time.
  • Winter Moon by Dean Koontz: from the 80s heights of Koontz's fame, before he fell into the tropes of special dogs and special kids, this one mixes horror and sci-fi.

Currently Reading

Our vacation starts on Wednesday, with 6 days of reading on the beach in the Dominican, so I'm in my usual frantic scramble to determine what books will make the trip - hence the used bookstore trip. I have started Empire of Grass by Tad Williams, but I'm looking for some shorter books I can start on the beach and finish by the pool, not one to last the week.
