Stacking The Shelves and Mailbox Monday are a pair of weekly memes that are about sharing the books that came your way over the past week, and which you've added to your shelves - whether they be physical or virtual, borrowed or bought, or for pleasure or review.
I've been focusing on striking a better balance between upcoming titles and my personal TBR shelves, so only 1 new addition this week.
Find Virgil (A Novel of Revenge) by Frank FreudbergPublished November 14th 2013 by Inside Job Media
Get inside the mind of a serial killer as you never have before. Is Martin Muntor a villain or a victim?
Can you imagine rooting for a madman to succeed in a terroristic plot to kill hundreds of people? Second-hand smoke gave Muntor lung cancer, and he's mad. Very mad ... and he's going to do something about it. It's 1995, and the tobacco industry thinks it's invincible.
But is it?
Muntor devises an ingenious strategy to put cigarette companies out of business, and he doesn't care how many people he has to take with him in order to do it.
Hapless private investigator Tommy Rhoads has to find Muntor, and fast. But that's not going to be so easy. Muntor's smart and has nothing to lose, and the FBI doesn't want Rhoads's help. Rhoads has a lot at stake -- personally and professionally -- and is desperate to stop the killer.
Who's right, and who's wrong? Read Find Virgil now, and go along for the wild ride. You'll never forget it.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is another weekly meme, this time focused on what books are spending the most time in your hands and in your head, as opposed to what's been added to your shelf.
With an eye towards my scheduled reviews for the next few weeks, I'm currently turning pages with:
• Justice 4.1 by Jim Webster Join intergalactic investigator Haldar Drom as he cleans up criminal scum.• The Ghoul Archipelago by Stephen Kozeniewski Zombies, a freighter rescue, billionaire madmen, cargo cults, and post-apocalyptic gruesome horror.• The House of the Four Winds by Mercedes Lackey and James MalloryI've always looked to Lackey for classic fantasy, and her collaborations with Mallory have been outstanding . . . plus it has pirates!
What's topping your shelves this week?
