Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews and Reading Reality, which is all about sharing the books that you’ve acquired in the past week!
Purchased Books and eBooks
Rinse Spin Repeat by Edith Fassnidge
I’ve been wanting to read this book for ages so decided to treat myself with the little bit of money left on my book voucher from my birthday. This is a graphic novel memoir so I’ll probably read this very soon.
You Are What You Read by Jodie Jackson
I read some great reviews of this book on its recent blog tour and have been intrigued by it so decided to buy a copy. It’s a look at how what we read and see in the media affects us. It sounds fascinating and it’s not a big book so I hope to read this one quite soon.
Purchased AudioBooks
Melmoth by Sarah Perry
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while as I really enjoyed The Essex Serpent. I spotted it as a daily deal on Audible this week so I snapped it up!
The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins
This was an impulse buy when I saw this was a daily deal on Audible. I read one of Richard Dawkins’ books a few years ago now and found it really interesting so I’m intrigued by this one.
ARCs
Someone We Know by Shari Lapena
I was super excited when this parcel arrived through my letterbox yesterday! I love Shari Lapena’s writing so can’t wait to read her latest!
Keep You Close by Karen Cleveland
This book arrived at the start of this week and I’ve actually already read it. I really enjoyed this thriller and will be reviewing it soon for the blog tour.
Clear My Name by Paula Daly
I’m a huge fan of Paula Daly so couldn’t resist requesting this one on NetGalley. I was thrilled to be approved to read it and plan on getting to this very soon. I love Paula Daly’s writing so much that I didn’t even look what this book was about, I just knew I had to read it!
The Darkest Summer by Ella Drummond
I read and enjoyed Ella’s first novel last year so was delighted to be invited to read her new novel for the blog tour. I’ll be reading this one in the coming weeks!
Gift
Poppy’s Recipe for Life by Heidi Swain
A lovely blogger friend of mine so kindly offered to send me her copy of this book as I’ve been so keen to read it. It looks like a lovely summery read and I’m hoping for some nice weather so that I can read it out in the garden!
Have you bought any new books over the last week? Please tell me below. 🙂 If you join in with Stacking the Shelves please feel free to leave your link and I’ll make sure to read and comment on your post.
Such a lovely haul of books, Hayley! I have to admit, I love the name of that memoir (Rinse, Spin, Repeat). I think it’s awfully clever. The rest of the books look terrific, too. I hope you’ll enjoy them all.
Awesome haul, Hayley! I hope you’ll enjoy them all.
Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading 🙂
Interesting! I have a pile of Dawkins on the TBR and I really must get to them soon! 😀
Fantastic haul! Is Keep You Close a follow up to Need to Know or a completely different story?
I have also heard of You Are What You Read. I personally feel much better about life if I don’t watch too much political news. I read just enough from NPR to keep me in the loop, but not enough to raise my blood pressure! I hope you enjoy your books.
Great haul! That package of Someone We Know looks amazing. Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
What a lovely haul and I love seeing when you get a special ARC parcel with added bits! I only had one in this past week and am going to try to work it into a post today … hope hope. I seem to have no time for anything at the moment, with some extremely minor home repairs taking up all the time in the world, somehow!
