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!
I've had an amazing week, the obvious highlight being the signing I went to on Tuesday featuring Patrick Rothfuss and Scott Lynch... Totally worth the two hour wait in the queue and they were both such lovely chaps! Back at my dad's for two weeks, his phone is fixed but internet access remains spotty - on and off quicker than I can keep up with! I'm putting up with it though and trying to draft posts as and when it lets me. Anyway, here's what I got this week - considering I was stood in amongst the shelves at Forbidden Planet for so long I'm surprised I didn't end up with more!

Won
From Gollancz
All in all, a great week for me - special thanks to Gollancz for sending me a copy of Beauty, looking forward to reading it once I've read Poison and Charm. And yay, new Terry Pratchett (Raising Steam) and old Terry Pratchett (Mort) re-released in hardcover with a luscious cover. To start with the first 21 books in the Discworld series are all being re-released in this special hardcover with new covers and being the fan that I am I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy most if not all of them!
Interesting as most of these are new to me and I've never heard of them. Great stack of books.

I'm glad you got to meet Scott & Pat at the event, I got to see them both for a little while at WFC last weekend, which was amazing. I'm re-reading Red Seas Under Red Skies at the moment, and have book 3 ready to go on to - I can't wait to get to it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen 'The Demon King' before, but I like the cover, I'll keep an eye open for that.

My Letterbox Love post
They were both so nice, and even though there were maybe 300 people there they took the time to talk to everyone and take photos! I need to re-read Red Seas too - just need to find it first! I have 3 copies of Locke Lamora now so will need to give one away and share the fantastic writing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)

Here's my haul
I'm glad your two hour wait at the signing paid off. That's dedication!
ReplyDeleteI won Rags & Bones from an auction several months ago, but I still need to read it. Hope it's as good as the cover!
