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!
A Gambling Man by Jenny Uglow
Free with Kindle points
I do not know much about the Stuart Restoration. That whole period of the James/Charles' is murky to me at best and anything concerning Oliver Cromwell forget about it, lol. So I saw this and thought it looked interesting. I probably won't get to it for awhile (I've been sucked back into a book on The Anarchy again) but eventually it's a time period I'd like to know more about.
Murder Under the Mistletoe by Erica Ruth Neubauer (A Jane Wunderly Mystery Book 4.5)
Free: Libby Audiobook borrow
Yes, the holidays just ended but.....this is book 4.5 of this series and I'm ready to read on so I don't want to skip this one. From reading the summary it will include things I won't want to skip with the next full book. I don't necessarily want to read a Christmas book in February but this one is short and on audio. I'm sure it will be fun. Jane is spending the holidays at her fiance's home, Barnard Castle. Of course a murder occurs and they must work to find out who is responsible. How can you go wrong with castles, snow, Christmas, and a murder mystery?
The King's Coat by Dewey Lambdin (An Alan Lewrie Naval Adventure Book One)
Free with Kindle points
I love books set at sea and this looks good. The first in a series started in 1989 so almost an "old" book, lol. It is about a young man, seventeen year old Alan Lewrie who is sent to sea in the year 1780 by his father who is hoping to instill a sense of discipline in him. He is headed to America and finds he loves being on the ship and the life of a sailor. The summary eludes to a "surprise," but no hint of what that is. I am intrigued!
