This issue of Stacking the Shelves is back to normal. Well, normal for me, anyway, which means seriously overstacked.
I feel so much better now.
There are a few titles that landed on the list because of something I read elsewhere…so to speak.
Nights of Steel by Nico Rosso, and The Importance of Being Wicked by Miranda Neville are both the next books in series to books I reviewed this week (Skies of Steel by Zoe Archer and The Second Seduction of a Lady by Miranda Neville, respectively) I finished the one, and immediately went out hunting for the next. Thanks go to Edelweiss in both cases for feeding my addiction.
Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey is a book of other writers responding to E.L. James much talked about work. (Yes, I’ve read the Fifty Shades trilogy.) I’m curious to see what fifty writers had to say about it that a publisher thought there would be money publishing the collection.
And last, my one print book in this week’s stack, Cory Doctorow’s Pirate Cinema. Tor Books sent this to me with a very interesting reprint from The Guardian about “Why the death of DRM would be good news for readers, writers and publishers,” written, of course, by Doctorow. Galen and I are hoping to dual-review this one.
Of course, everything on the list except for Pirate Cinema is an ebook.
So, what terrific books are stacking your shelves this week?

Jo, I looked at yours and added the Ruth Downie series. Fair is fair!

I got Pirate Cinema in a book bundle of 8 SF books from Humble Bundle. I picked what to pay and how to divvy up the money. Have you checked them out? Because you’re obviously short of books. LOL! I am trying not to make eye contact with your bundle! (grin)

I stared pretty hard at that Humble Bundle, but I have half of them, and I didn’t like Wind-Up Girl all that much, which let Pump Six right out. But it was tempting…because I love the concept SO much.

You’re ahead of me! I’d been eying Old Man’s War for forever, but wasn’t letting myself buy it until I read something. LOL! Yes, I cheated, but hopefully not too much.
