Stacking the Shelves (27)

 
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews.
 
This week I actually had some time to go to the library and look around.  I picked up several different books that have been on my TBR list for awhile.  I can't wait to start reading them!
 
From the Library:
 
 
Every Last One by Anna Quindlen
The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe
Daughter of the Saints by Dorothy Allred Solomon
Escape by Carolyn Jessop
 
From NetGalley:
 
 
A Shot of Sultry by Macy Beckett
(Sorry for the bad picture, but I am so excited to read this!)
 
Have you read any of these books?  What books did you get this week?

    I haven't gone to the library to borrow books in awhile, usually I make it to the little used store in mine and don't make it past. xD

    Looks like you managed to snag some good reads though, happy reading!

    I read Escape a while ago. I really enjoyed the experience reading it, and even went out and bought her followup memoir. Although didn't think her 2nd was nearly as good.

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get...

The story of this English king is one of history’s most compelling, made even more fascinating through the discovery in 2012 of his bones buried under a car park in Leicester.
