Welcome to the “When Worlds Collide” edition of Stacking the Shelves. Macmillan Publishing, including Tor, dumped their Fall 2018 ARCs into Edelweiss this week, and that always makes my stack explode. The book awards committee that I am on for ALA has also kicked into high gear. I won’t say which books those are (or will be, because there are more to come!) but grabbing the eARCs for the committee selections certainly does add appreciably to the height of the stack!

You’ve got some great sounding books there, Marlene! There are a few titles I definitely want to check out when they come out. The Girl Who Smiled Beads is new to me, but sounds like it will be a good one. The Air You Breath is one I really want to read. I hope you have a great week! Thank you for sharing and hosting!
