I recently discovered the Stacking The Shelves meme that was launched by Tynga's Reviews back in 2012. It's all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, whether they are bought from an actual shop, online, are borrowed from friends or the library, have been given to you for review or as a gift and also includes ebooks!
As you can already find a list of books that I'm in the process of reading for review purposes here, I've decided to share the books that I've bought for myself over the last, erm, 8 months and which I'm sure I'll find an opportunity to read soon!
Top of the list, and by one of my all-time favourite authors, are:
Then it's anyone's guess which order I'll be reading these in:
I think I read a Rachel Vincent book a few years back but apart from that, I have no experience of any of these authors. I'm particularly looking forwards to Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, which sounds like it will be a very British version of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and also to John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things because I genuinely have no idea what to expect from it.
If you want to take part in Stacking the Shelves, I've included the guidelines set by Tynga's Reviews below:
Guidelines:
- Create your own Stacking The Shelves post. You can use the official graphic or your own, but please link back to Tynga’s Reviews so more people can join the fun!
- You can set your post any way you want, simple book list, covers, pictures, vlog, the sky is the limit!
- Visit Tynga’s Reviews on Saturday and add your link so others can visit you!
- Don't forget to visit the other participants and see what's on their shelves.

Love Lilith Saintcrow <3 Happy reading!
I've not read any Lilith Saintcrow, but Rivers of London is ace (in a British Dresden Files way) and John Connolly's Book of Lost Things is just too utterly splendid for words. Very dark though. Verrry dark.
If you like Dresden and Aaronovitch, can I recommend Paul Cornell's London Falling?
