Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews
Over the past couple of weeks I broke my book buying ban in a big way, here's the result:
Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales edited by Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant - Short stories from a great selections of authors.
The Art of the English Murder: From Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Homes to Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock by Lucy Worsely -non-fiction book that is right up my alley.
Unmade (The Lynburn Legacy #3) by Sarah Rees Brennan - In the middle of this, it's so good though I'm braced for heartbreak.
Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins - Finally got my hands on this gorgeous book
The Infinite Sea (The Fifth Wave #2) by Rick Yancey - I've already read it, it's amazing. Review to come.
Acceptance (Southern Reach Trilogy #3) by Jeff Vandermeer - The final novel in this creepy/fascinating trilogy, I still need to read Authority.
I'm excited for all these reads, they should keep me busy for a while. Meanwhile, I've decided adopt a new policy for myself on acquiring new books, whether for review, library, or the bookstore: for every five I read/review I can obtain one new book. Hopefully this will cut down on the TBR, if I stick with it.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted by Tynga's Reviews where I share books acquired recently.
This stack right here is from the past month, a product of a couple of pre-orders, a visit to my favorite independent used bookstore, and another bookstore visit prompted by my need to escape a rainstorm and an inability to leave without buying something:
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
The Islands of Chaldea by Diana Wynne Jones and Ursula Jones
The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis
The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey
Euphoria by Lily King
Alias Hook by Lisa Jensen
Conversion by Katherine Howe
The Quick by Lauren Owen
Also a couple of titles from Netgalley:

The Vault of Dreamers by Caragh M. O'Brien
I think I'm set for book buying for the summer, but I'll probably be at the library next week looking for something new.
