The very last Sunday Post of 2024. Wednesday starts a new year, 2025. And OMG what a year it's been and what a year it's shaping up to be! Fittingly, today's cat picture is of someone peering out...

This is OMG the last and final Stacking the Shelves for 2024. It's a bit on the puny side, isn't it? That's the way things go at the end of the year. Not much new is being published - like, not at...

I try to get this list down to a 'Top 10". Occasionally I succeed, at least sorta/kinda, as I did last year. This year I didn't even get close, because, as sometimes happens in the weekly Stacking...

My Review: I just re-read my review of the previous book in this awesome series, Gryphon, and re-discovered that this book, Wedgetail, was originally supposed to have been published over the summer....

December is officially, or at least officially-ish, half over. Not that December 31st really counts as December since everyone spends the whole day thinking about that last second when the year ends....

A really short stack this time around, and ALL coincidentally at the end of the alphabet. My stacks tend to get short at the end of the year because they're usually all eARCs that I get from NetGal...
