Stacking the Shelves (1)

This week I'll be linking up with other book bloggers with my first Stacking the Shelves post. According to the reviewers at Tynga's Reviews who host the meme:

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

Since I'm on a self-imposed book purchase ban, the books I receive will be freebies, library books, swaps, gifts, and review copies. Yes, I said “review copies”. I saw a mention in an online forum that Warren Adler was giving away copies of American Quartet to all who requested a copy at Netgalley. While I was on the Netgalley site, I picked out a couple of additional books to read and review. And, two library books that I had put requests on came in this week. I won't bother listing the various Kindle freebies that I picked up at Amazon—many of which I may not read.

From Netgalley:

American Quartet by Warren Adler. (Thank you Mr. Adler and Stonehouse Productions.
