It’s inevitable (unfortunately)

- So, I guess I'm the supervillain?

- I don't think about you that way at all, Emma.

A mix for the businessman and the barista, who would probably hate several of these tracks.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, which is all about sharing the books that you’ve acquired in the past week!

It’s been a while since I joined in with Stacking the Shelves; it’s partly because I’ve not been blogging regularly for the last few months but also because I’m not buying so many books at the moment (although I did acquire rather a lot of books in May, hence this haul!).

So, here are all the books that I got in May…

The Wanderers by Meg Howrey

I’ve read really mixed reviews of this book but it still sounds really appealing to me so I decided to buy a copy.

Don’t Make a Sound by David Jackson

I really like David Jackson’s previous novels and this new crime thriller sounds brilliant so I couldn’t resist buying this. I hope to read this soon as it’s a kindle book and I can fit it in around the print books that I’m reading for my 20 Books of Summer challenge.

The Man Who Didn’t Call by Rosie Walsh

I didn’t think this was my kind of read but I kept hearing great things about it so I bought it and read it straight away; I honestly couldn’t put it down and really enjoyed it.

The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton

I couldn’t resist treating myself to this hardback as I love Sharon Bolton’s writing as have been waiting for this book to be released.

Big Bones by Laura Dockrill

I’ve seen quite a bit of hype around this book and I had to get a copy to see what the fuss is all about. It does sound like a lovely YA novel with a body positive message.

Exit West by Mohsin Hamid

I’ve been interested in reading this for a while but have read mixed reviews about it so couldn’t decide. It ended up in a kindle deal recently so it seemed a good time to buy it!

Only Fools and Stories by David Jason

I love David Jason – especially his roles as Del Boy and Inspector Frost so I bought this book as soon as I saw it. I think it’ll be a nice book to curl up with one evening and I’m looking forward to it.

Left and Leaving by Jo Verity

I’ve been sorting through my huge wish list recently and when I re-read the blurb for this book it sounded really good so I bought it on kindle.

You, Me and Everything by Catherine Isaac

I just bought this the other day because it was on offer for kindle at 99p and I decided to give it a go as I’ve seen lots of good reviews of it.

The Poetry Pharmacy by William Sieghart

This was a bargain buy that I was really happy to spot as I was sorting through my wish list and discovered it was the kindle daily deal on that very day so I snapped it up! I think this will be a lovely book to dip in and out of, and if I enjoy it I will buy a physical copy.

The Songs of Us by Emma Cooper

I saw the author tweet that it was her ebook publication day this week so I went straight to Amazon and one-clicked as it sounds like a really intriguing premise. I hope to get to this one over the summer as it sounds like a good, summer read.

The Lying Game by Ruth Ware

The premise of this book grabbed me as soon as I read the blurb so I had to get a copy. This is another ebook purchase so I’m hoping to read it in between my planned print summer reads in the coming weeks.

Fatal Weekend by Tom Rubython

I was a huge fan of Ayrton Senna and so after watching some documentaries about him on the anniversary of his death earlier in May I decided to look and see if there were any new biographies of him. I found this one so bought it and read it straight away. It was a decent read but not the best biography of Senna.

The Reservoir Tapes by Jon McGregor

I got Reservoir 13 for my birthday earlier this year and whilst I haven’t read it yet I still couldn’t resist buying this book as I do love Jon McGregor’s writing. I hope to get to both books before too much longer.

Ivy and Abe by Elizabeth Enfield

This is a review book that I got from NetGalley, I think it’s due out later this month so I plan on reading it soon. It sounds like a lovely, comfort read and I feel sure I’ll enjoy it.

The Date by Louise Jensen

This is another NetGalley book also due out later this month. I love Louise Jensen’s writing so I couldn’t resist downloading this one. I’ll definitely be getting to this very, very soon!

Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh

I’ve had my eye on this book ever since I first heard about it earlier this year so I was thrilled when my wish was granted on NetGalley recently. I actually read it as soon as I downloaded it and thought it was brilliant. I’ll be posting my review soon.

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

I love Lisa Jewell’s writing so this was another book that I requested on NetGalley as soon as I heard about it. It sounds like a great read so I’m eager to get to it soon. I think it’s due out in July so not too long to wait.

Snap by Belinda Bauer

I was thrilled when I was sent a copy of this in the post. I read the novel in one sitting earlier this week and I loved every minute that I spent reading it. I’m hoping to finish and post my review in the next week or so but I can say that I highly recommend Snap!

Toxic by Nicci Cloke

I adore the cover of this book and when I read the blurb I was very keen to get my hands on a copy as soon as possible. I was so happy when NetGalley approved my request! I’ll be reading this a little bit nearer publication date as it’s not due out until the end of July.

Falling Short by Lex Coulton

This book arrived as a total surprise recently and it sounds like a really good read so I’m adding it to my TBR. Hopefully I’ll get to it soon!

Did you get any new books recently? I’d love to know. Have you read any of the books in my book haul? Are there any that you recommend me getting to sooner rather than later? Feel free to leave a link to your own stacking the shelves post in the comments! 🙂

I think that might be what the Summer Special's for. It's gonna have to have a pretty awesome "previously on" segment...

Also, when the team meets up with the future squad, I want Black Saturn himself to be literally the only one on the team who's surprised that Future!Groaner and Future!Saturn are married. He's SO blown away by this revelation, but everyone else is just like...

Rex: I think we all saw this coming.

Cooch: I thought you two were already fuckin. Who knew

Lex: I knew from the moment you started bitching to me about him. Because that's exactly how you used to bitch about me.

Robobot: there was always a statistically high probability that the two of you were destined to be together

American Ranger: I should be more surprised, but honestly? An octopus woman just used my body for pleasure, the woman I love merged with her immortal other half and can no longer reside upon the mortal realm, and apparently I became the WORST president EVER and killed my best friend, RUINING my team, which is pretty much the closest thing I have to a family anymore. So long as you are both fully consenting adults, I don't give a fuck. This is officially the WORST day of my life.

Black Saturn: But he's my NEMESIS! !! I mean sure, we made out once, and I guess he's pretty hot, but like! Nemeses do that, right?

Future!Groaner: Well I mean, they can, but when the apocolypse's upon you you kinda have ta watch eachother's backs, ya know? There's no room for extra hate. There's just...

Future!Saturn: *wrapping his arms around Future!Groaner* Looooooove!

Future!Groaner: *fondly* aw cram it ya old softy~

And then they make out. And almost everyone's grossed out, except Saturn, who's just like "BUT WE'RE N E M E S E S!!!"

Future!Groaner: Yeah but only in like, the Jhonathan Coulton sense of the word.

Future!Saturn: I always thought Miike Snow was more applicable to us.

Future!Groaner: Oh yeah, I love that music video!

Honestly I could go on forever with this just take it.

OMG THE LATEST EPISODE OF SUPERMANSION! I really hope that’s not the season finale holy shit! I hope this means we see future!Black Saturn and future!Groaner again! Maybe it’ll give Present!Saturn a hint toward him marrying groaner! Oh god I hope!
