Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Marlene of Reading Reality. It is all about sharing the books that you have recently added to your bookshelves. These books can be physical books, ebooks and of course audiobooks.

Hello!

So the restricted book buying has completely gone out of the window this month which is worrying as we are still at the beginning of the month. However, I have been in Bath and that is always fatal as Bath has some of my favourite bookshops.

First up are the books I bought at Persephone Books.

I am completely obsessed with Dorothy Whipple so I was determined to get more of her books from the Persephone book collection.

• They Knew Mr Knight by Dorothy Whipple
• Greenbanks by Dorothy Whipple
• They Were Sisters by Dorothy Whipple

Books from Waterstones

• The Three-Body Problem by Cicin Liu – My husband really wants to read this book but we could not get a copy as every bookshop seemed to have sold out. However, after ducking into Waterstones to avoid the rain we managed to get a copy. I also plan on reading it once my husband has read it.
• Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland – I quite enjoyed Sistersong so I thought I would give Holland’s next book a read as well.

Mr B’s Emporium

• What the Greeks Did for Us by Tony Spawforth – I love anything to do with Ancient Greek’s so when I spied this book I knew it was a book I needed to read.
• The Book of Days by Francesca Kay – I haven’t read anything by Francesca Kay but this book looked interesting so I thought I would give it a read.
• Life, Death and Disease in the Middle Ages and Beyond by Professor Alice Roberts – I wrote quite a few essays on ancient diseases and death practices in Ancient Greece and Rome so I’m quite interested to see what they were like in the Middle Ages.

Topping and Company Booksellers

• Queens of the Crusades by Alison Weir – I love Alison Weir and I am always on the hunt for books that I haven’t read yet so I was quite excited when I spotted this.
• Adam Bede by George Eliot – I am trying to read all of George Eliot’s published works and this one is on my list to read next.
• Dying of the Light by George R. R. Martin – I am really enjoying Martin’s sci-fi books so far so I am quite excited to read this next.
• Tuf Voyaging by George R. R. Martin – Another Martin book to read.
• The Book Forger by Jospeh Hone – This was actually my husband’s choice but I fully intend to read it as well.

I have one more week left off from teaching so I hope I might get a lot more reading done and I might tackle some of my new books.

Happy Reading
