Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on
Tynga's Reviews and Letterbox Love is a UK edition hosted by
Narratively Speaking. Here we can share what new books we've picked up this past week. There
are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose
from!
What a difference a week makes! I'm actually sticking to my guidelines (well, 99% of them) and I haven't spent anything on books *polishes halo* This was my first whole week of Operation TBR in place and I think I did pretty well.
The only thing that was in my favor though? I haven't been anywhere
near any bookshops and I've been trying to stay off the internet as much
as possible, easy to do just now as it's so awkward trying to type with
my left hand... Next week though I'm off to Temptation City, otherwise
known as London and to my sister's so need to stay strong! Here's what new this week...
Kindle Freebie
I bought this because, as you all know, I'm a bit of a fairy tale nut. It's an adult retelling of Hansel & Gretel and has been on my wishlist for a while, it was free and I deserved a reward for not buying anything!
Won
I won this on Twitter, I rarely do things like retweet to win but Nathan Hawke is a.k.a.
Stephen Deas, author of the fabulous
Memory of Flames series that starts with
The Adamantine Palace.
From the publisher
This was offered up by Gollancz Geeks and I took a chance on asking for a copy as it's been a while since I read anything by Reynolds. I've read the first two
Revelation Space books and liked them so hopefully I'll like this new series too. The next book,
On The Steel Breeze, comes out at the end of next month.
What was in your mailbox this week?
I haven't heard of these but I hope you enjoy them.

DeleteKindle freebies are so addictive but I stopped getting them because I'm drowning from my TBR pile.
