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. Happy reading y'all!
The Crime at Black Dudley by Margery Allingham (Albert Campion Book One)
Free today on Amazon Kindle
I see this author a lot as a Golden Age mystery writer. And I have heard about this series with Albert Campion. So it's worth a shot, especially since it is free to buy on Kindle this weekend. It looks like your typical country house murder mystery, guests caught inside with the killer. But I'm a sucker for these kinds of Golden Age books. And I prefer to start with book one in series reads too.
An Uncivil War by David Field (The Medieval Saga Book Three)
Free with my Kindle Unlimited Trial
I love David Field's books, especially the history based ones. I have read most of this series but not the ones on The Anarchy (this one), Henry II, or Richard I. I skipped them because I knew so much already about those subjects and wanted to focus on the Norman Conquest and Simon de Montfort books. But I saw this one this weekend and just for kicks started it and can't put it down. It's really good and I've actually learned some new things. Looking forward to continuing with these three I've missed.
The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick (Eleanor of Aquitaine Book One)
Libby borrow: Free
As if I don't have enough books about Eleanor....I impulsively borrowed this from Libby Friday night and started it. I will probably take awhile to read it but I just wanted to start as it is a goal of mine to read this series and the Chadwick Marshal books as well. I never get tired of Henry, Eleanor, and her family and love the way different authors take the same material and make it their own.
