I had a grand ambition to fit everything I picked up this year into this year’s remaining Stacking the Shelves posts. It’s not going to happen. I cap these things at 20-ish just to keep the download with all the covers from being overwhelming. So I’ve already picked up stuff that’s going to be a stack in 2026. 2026! When did THAT sneak up on me?
The really pretty cover in this batch is The Antiquarian’s Object of Desire. All the covers in the Love’s Academic series have been lovely, but this one is just extra so. There are some pretty creepy covers here in Morsel and Tea & Alchemy, while An Accident of Dragons, Death Meets Cute and Stay for a Spell are, well, cute.
The one book in this stack I’m absolutely gasping for is the new St. Cyr book, When the Wolves Are Silent. It’s not out until April but I don’t think I’m going to be able to wait that long. I’m also looking forward to The Monk, but that’s book 5 in its series (DS George Cross) and books 2,3, and 4 aren’t out yet although I do have them. (The series was published in the UK several years ago but didn’t catch on here then. It is now and the US publisher is catching up fast. And YAY because the first book, The Dentist, was awesome so I’m looking forward to the rest.)
I’ve read two books in this stack that won’t be out for a while, Double Shadow and Stay for a Spell. Double Shadow is fun if you like time travel adventures – and I do, while Stay for a Spell is an absolutely adorable cozy fantasy that I’m going to be highly recommending.
How’s your stack looking this week?

Some great covers there! I can’t believe that it’s nearly 2026. I’m already looking at having to book things for March 😱 I would like to read Tea and Alchemy at some point. It’s been on my want to read list for a while!
Have a great weekend!
If you’ve got Amazon Prime you can get the ebook of Tea and Alchemy for free this month. (Well, not really free, nothing from Amazon is really free but if you’ve got Prime you’ve already paid, LOL)
And I know just what you mean about next year’s stuff already. I’ve got a few eARCs for books that won’t be out until AUGUST! That’s just crazy.
Have a terrific weekend yourself!
