Stacking the Shelves: January/February 2026

Hosted by Reading Reality, Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, whether they be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, ARCs, gifts and of course e-books! And audiobooks. Don’t forget audiobooks!

In other words, if you can read it or if it can be read to you – no matter how you got it – it belongs in Stacking the Shelves.

Let’s take a peek at what I purchased, downloaded or received in January/February.

I haven’t picked up any ARCs this year so far…and I’m probably going to be very careful of what I choose to apply for.

What books did you add to your shelves this month? What are you looking forward to reading soon?
