(Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, which is all about sharing the books that you’ve acquired in the past week – ebooks or physical books, and books you’ve bought or borrowed or received an ARC of.)
This week I’ve bought two new ebooks:
The One by John Marrs
I’ve seen reviews of this book on quite a few blogs now and so couldn’t resist pre-ordering it. It has such an intriguing premise and I hope to get a chance to read it very soon!
A Year Lost and Found by Michael Mayne
This is one of the books that Susan Hill wrote about in Howards End is on the Landing and it sounded like a really interesting read. It’s about how Michael Mayne approached living with a diagnosis of a chronic illness and is apparently an inspiring read. I immediately went to added it to my wish list and the noticed it is free to borrow for Kindle Unlimited members so I downloaded it straight away.
I also bought two new audiobooks from Audible:
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
This was a daily deal one day this week and as I’ve previously loved other books by him on audio I thought I’d give this one a go. It was a bargain at £1.99 and I hope to listen to it soon.
The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell
I’ve been wanting to read this for a while and as I’m enjoying listening to longer audio books at the moment I decided to get this one with one of my Audible credits this week. I’m hoping I’ll be able to follow this alright on audio.
Books I received for review:
The Last Act of Hattie Hoffman by Mindy Mejia
The publisher contacted me to ask if I’d like to read and review a copy of this and after reading the synopsis I immediately said yes. It sounds like a great read and I’ll be reading it during February ahead of publication in March.
The Breakdown by B.A. Paris and Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney
Both of these books arrived in a surprise package this week and made my day. It’s always lovely to receive book post, especially when it’s a surprise! I was badly wanting to read both novels so they definitely won’t be on my TBR for very long.
A Line Made by Walking by Sara Baume
I was also contacted by the publisher about this book and I agreed right away. It arrived a couple of days ago and it’s a lovely hardback book and I can’t wait to read it!
I also won a giveaway for a gorgeous proof copy of This is How it Always is by Laurie Frankel. I was thrilled when I was picked to receive a proof of this book as I was really looking forward to this book being out so I could get a copy, and also the proof is beautiful. My photo in no way does it justice but it really is stunning!
So, that’s all of my new books from the past week. Have you bought any new books recently? Tell me all in the comments below, or if you have a stacking the shelves post on your blog feel free to post the link below too.
