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! And 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. The Stacking the Shelves meme was originally hosted at Team Tynga’s Reviews. For the last few years it’s been co-hosted at Team Tynga’s and here at Reading Reality. Reading Reality became the one and only host of Stacking the Shelves when Team Tynga’s Reviews closed its virtual doors in 2021.
This past week I bought 2 new books to read: Dear Abigail and The Secret Keeper of Jaipur. Dear Abigail is a biography of Abigail Adams and her two sisters. Abigail Smith Adams, Mary Smith Cranch and Elizabeth "Betsey" Smith Shaw were the daughters of Reverend William Smith and his wife Elizabeth. The book begins with the marriage of Mary to Richard Cranch presumably because that is when Mary left the family home and the sisters began writing to each other. If Abigail had not married John Adams their story may not ever have been told.
The Secret Keeper of Jaipur is the second novel in Alka Joshi's Jaipur Trilogy. The series is about henna artist Lakshmi Kumar. In this installment of the series Lakshmi arranges for her protege Malik to intern at Jaipur Palace. Lakshmi is now running the Healing Garden but most of the story is about Malik. Power and money still control Jaipur, evidenced by the police blaming a balcony collapse on an easy target. Malik senses the wrong person was arrested and seeks to uncover the truth.
