From the Shelf to the Page: This Week in the Ruins

A quiet week on the page with just a pair of reviews (don't worry - we've got 4 guests stopping by next week), but a busy one on the shelves . . .

Waiting on Wednesday with The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King Sci-Fi Review of Husk by J. Kent Messum Fantasy Review of The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher .

Stacking The Shelves and Mailbox Monday are a pair of weekly memes that are about sharing the books that came your way over the past week, and which you've added to your shelves - whether they be physical or virtual, borrowed or bought, or for pleasure or review.

Kushiel's Avatar by Jacqueline Carey


For Review:

The Zen of Zombie by Scott Kenemore

Kill by Numbers: In the Wake of the Templars by Loren Rhoads

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is another weekly meme, this time focused on what books are spending the most time in your hands and in your head, as opposed to what's been added to your shelf.

I made some good progress with Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey this week, and the events of Chapter 40 guarantee I'll be spending a lot of time with it this weekend. I'm still planning to dive into Crimson Shore by Preston & Child, but I also need to get started on Empire Ascendant by Kameron Hurley as it's going to be my first scheduled review for The Speculative Herald (but more on that soon).

What's topping your shelves this week?
