Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!
So... I haven't done a book haul post for nearly two months. It doesn't feel like it's been that long but blog posts don't lie! And, as the title suggests, I realized that in the last seven or so weeks I have only bought one book. That's it. It would appear that the way to stop me buying books is to be busy/tired/rundown/on holiday and not looking at the internet! But you know what this means? It's nearly ComicCon time so I can go mad without feeling guilty.
I may only have bought one book but I've received/downloaded some amazing review titles since the end of April. I'm not going to list them all (there's a lot!) but the books below are the ones I'm probably most looking forward to reading.
Bought
An Ember In The Ashes sounds really good! I read the first couple of chapters online and that got me really interested in it :) Sometimes I end up with long gaps between posts and think "Surely it wasn't that long?" but as you say, the posts don't lie!

I read the first couple of chapters before I went on holiday and forgot to take it with me! Hopefully I'll find a couple of hours this week to continue reading. Blog posts don't lie! Can't believe how long it has been...
DeleteScarlet Gospels was fantastic - after waiting so long for Barker to return to horror, it was everything I could have asked for. Okay, so I could have asked for something twice the size with the epic feel of Imajica but this was still pretty good. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's sitting on my desk but I would like to read Hellbound Heart again first as it's been twenty years plus since the first time, this may or may not be a good idea of course!
DeleteI loved In Darkling Wood. I really hope you enjoy it too and the rest of your books :-) My haul
ReplyDeleteI loved Emma's other books so have high expectations, hopefully I'll get to read it in the next week or so :)
DeleteAn Ember in the Ashes was fantastic and I hope you love it as well.
