STACKING THE SHELVES | #62
Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews!

It’s been a wonderful, wild ride, and I’ve met READ MORE

I missed last month’s wrap-up on account of being on vacation, so this one’s a two-fer! Some exciting things have happened in the past two months, both in terms of books and… not. First of all, I started off the year with a couple of truly fantastic reads – my favourite so far being If READ MORE
THE SUNDAY REVIEW | ONE MORE THING – B.J. NOVAK
B.J. Novak’s One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories is an endlessly entertaining, surprisingly sensitive, and startlingly original debut that signals the arrival of a brilliant new voice in American fiction.
