Stacking the Shelves #46

 

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of. Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Enjoy your reading this week!

Borrowed from Libby App:

I waited over a month for this one! I was excited to see it finally available. This author is very popular and this is her latest. Set in two different time periods it's not a novel I'd usually read but it involves Egyptian archaeology, museums, and a mystery so it looks intriguing. I'm on chapter 5 already and still hooked so I'm hoping I'm not disappointed. Looking at her other books I'm not sure if I'd like the settings but if this one is well written I might give them a try. It jumps back and forth between two main characters, Charlotte and Annie. Charlotte lives and works in 1970's New York and Annie lives in the same era. But we will be transported back to the 1930's to hear Charlotte's story. Traveling to Egypt something sinister happens and we will spend the book finding out what.

This is a book I will flip through and read when I need a break and just want to read a random chapter. It details all the major Queens of Scotland from Lady MacBeth to Anne. I'll just probably read it from week to week slowly and not necessarily in order. But that is nice as novels can sometimes take up so much of my time I don't read as much non fiction. This is in keeping with my goal to change that this year. I don't know a lot about the Queens of Scotland so I'm looking forward to a mini biography of each one.

Borrowed from Kindle Unlimited: 

This is book one in a mystery series I'd not seen before. It involves a sixteenth century Scottish lawyer, Hew Cullen, who is trying to solve a case of the murder of a teenager and accusations of misconduct by a Professor at the St. Andrews University. I love books set in Scotland and I love mysteries even more so I'm hoping this one is good. There are four more in the series too if I am wanting to continue.
