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!
Blood On the Tracks: Railway Mysteries by Martin Edwards (Editor)
(Kindle purchase)
This book is part of the British Library Crime Classics series that are being reissued. It contains a collection of mysteries, all set on trains, by some of the leading authors of the twentieth century. I know there are so many of these books, more than I could ever read, (over a hundred), but this one appealed to me because of the train setting. That's always a favorite of mine. Some of the authors I know like, Arthur Conan Doyle, but most are new to me. I like being able to read one as I feel like it as most are short.
(Kindle purchase)
This was on sale for 99 cents and I was interested based on the title. I'm not sure what it means by "new" history but wondered enough to get it. And I love timeline books with short summaries or bios that I can refer to for quick information. This runs to Elizabeth II so it covers every monarch. I'll probably flip through and read about the ones I am most interested in first.
Murder Under the Mistletoe by Erica Ruth Neubauer (A Jane Wunderly Mystery Book 4.5)
(Libby audiobook borrow)
Having just finished through book 4 in this series, I thought I'd read the middle stand alone Christmas one before starting book 5. I'm sure there are things I'll learn about the characters that will be helpful to know. And Christmas in summer is always fun! It's called book 4.5 because it's shorter and a "gap" book. Should be fun.
