Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves or TBR piles, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in a physical store, online, books you borrow from the library or friends, review books, gifts and of course, ebooks! The original meme was started over at Tynga's Reviews. Clicking on the book (or title) should take you to the Goodreads page.
I ran into one of our local libraries (the one I don't frequent too often) to see if they had any new CD's in to borrow and while I was there, I couldn't help but browse the new book section. I've always been interested on Octavia Butler's Kindred so when I saw the new graphic novel, I snatched it. The same goes for Department Zero (there must be more horror visitors at this branch because they always seem to have the newer releases of horror/fantasy). Finally, I picked up the next book in the Southern Cousins Mystery because I want to continue on and I knew they had it. (that's Elvis the Basset on the cover).
I also grabbed the following for free from Amazon. Nine Eyes is a horror novel, Brenna's Wing a novella and I don't remember much about The Soul Catcher.
Well, that's all for me this week. I'm fighting a cold and feel like I'm losing so I'm cutting this short. What did you add to your stacks?
Nice. I wonder if my library has Kindred. I had no idea it was in graphic novel form.
ReplyDeleteI saw it mentioned on someone's blog, and then couldn't resist when I saw it on the new graphic novel shelf.
DeleteOoh some scary reads. :) My library doesn't get a lot of new stuff, or graphic novels, I guess I need to request more and maybe they'll start carrying some of that stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have three area libraries. All three are sort of connected, but one had different loan rules. I try to visit this one 3-4 times a year.
DeleteI love that Elvis cover! I love bassett hounds and I'm an Elvis fan so that kind of makes me want to read the book...characters in the books seem a bit sex obsessed though which puts me off a bit. Hope you feel better soon! I haven't been to my library in years. The staff are hopeless, the books are many years out of date and it's expensive.
ReplyDeleteWe had a Basset Hound growing up - his name was Rusty. I love their ears and they are so laid back. I've always secretly thought Eeyore would be a good name for a Basset.
DeleteSome interesting reads, hope you like them. I am just glad there wasn't any here I must have so I am safe this week...lol. :) I did put book one of the Southern Cousins Mystery on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cute mystery. I think you'd like it.
DeleteLots of goodies to enjoy this week. Hope you love them all! My Shelf
ReplyDeleteThanks Eve.
DeleteAww man, I'm sorry you're feeling sick! Hopefully you kick the cold's butt. :D The free books from Amazon look great! Great on the wallet too. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend, Barb. =)
Check out my STS post!
I don't think it's entering "full blown" cold mode, but man is it ever making me sleepy!
DeleteThe Kindred graphic novel looks like a good one. I'll have to check it out too ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about it too.
DeleteGreat haul this week! I miss the library :( The library by my house is closed for renovations. I could go to another one a little further away but I haven't done it. Enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteI love browsing the library even if I do have enough books already.
DeleteDepartment Zero was a fun one! I hope you enjoy it, and the rest of your book haul too :)

I can't wait to start it!
DeleteI drove by the library yesterday. No place to park or I would have run in. They have a book shop and I like to buy from them. Nine Eyes looks wicked.

Our library has "Friends of the Library" sales twice a year. I always seem to miss them though.
DeleteOh my gosh, Department Zero looks FANTASTIC! I'm looking that one up right now! Enjoy all your new reads and feel better!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Weekly Recap!
Thanks Tracy, I think I'm feeling better already.
DeleteI think I read the blurb for Department Zero once and it sounded interesting. And those freebies you got look good too! Hopefully you'll enjoy all your new books :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen.
DeleteI don't go to the library much any more, but am planning a visit soon. I love to browse the aisles.

I can get lost when I have the time. Usually I have to run in really quickly during lunch so I use the online system to make sure I know what I'm going after a lot.
DeleteI'm a sucker for any cover with a crow. Gothic fangirl [see if you use Caps it likes "gothic"] so I'm going to check it out. HOLY COW the blurb of Department Zero is SO BIZARRE Barb! I have no idea what that book is about! hope you like it though ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember that about "Gothic." I've read some good reviews on Department Zero so I'm excited to see what I think.
