Stacking the Shelves

I have been trying to keep my To Be Read list down to a reasonable limit this year, not least because I set up an ambitious Great Nineteenth-Century Reading Project that included about as many books as I was expecting to read! I am not even 50% of the way through that list (but that’s another story), and have read many more besides (jotted down in my 2023 list).

But obviously the TBR pile keeps growing!

So here’s what I’ve added to NetGalley and my bookshelves this week:

• Holmes, Marple, and Poe (James Patterson and Brian Sitts)
• The Meiji Guillotine Murders (Futaro Yamada)
• The Instrumentalist (Harriet Constable)
• Erewhon (Samuel Butler)
• The Difference Engine (William Gibson and Bruce Sterling)
