Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of. Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Enjoy your reading this week!

I love this author for non-fiction and she's been featured on podcasts I love. She has a style of writing that is narrative and gets to the point but is also rich in details. This book is one of a kind, narrowing in on the Beaumonts and their influence throughout the Crusader period. I am looking forward to all the new information and research in it!

This author has a wonderful podcast he runs with another author, Sharon Bennett Connelly. It's called A Slice of Medieval and this is his latest book. It is a non-fiction, straightforward guide to all things Wars of the Roses and even though I'm well schooled in that period now, I enjoy his style of conversation on the show episodes and hopefully that transfers to print. He said he wanted to take a series of episodes for the layperson who doesn't know anything and put it in book form. I know a ton about it all but I love the period and am always happy to re-read about it!

This author was interviewed about her books on A Slice of Medieval's podcasts recently and it was fascinating hearing her explain about how she writes historical fiction and about her character creation for this series. It is set during the Wars of the Roses and the heroine is determined to save her family home from civil war. It came out in January and is part of The Tarnished Crown series. I probably won't get around to starting it anytime soon but I'd like to read it this year before book two comes out.
