Welcome back to Back Shelf Books for another Sunday Post!
I need your help this week! Every Saturday I post reviews for backlist books – I call them Back Shelf Reviews. This week, I don’t have one planned yet. With the rest of my blog week mostly scheduled, I want a good backlist book to read and review. So, I need your recommendations! The only requirement is that the book be at least one year past its publication date. It can be any genre and from any author. Let me know your ideas in the comments!
As always, I’m linking up with Readerbuzz for The Sunday Salon, Reading Reality for Stacking the Shelves, and The Caffeinated Reviewer for The Sunday Post.

Upcoming Posts & Reviews
I have quite the spread of reviews coming up this week! Into the Bargain is a historical fantasy indie book and Cursed Cruise is a YA horror. Ghostlore and Cat Fight are both collected volumes of comics, but they are wildly different.
What I Read This Week
Okay, this list looks massive. What it amounts to in reality is 2 books I was nearly finished with before the week started, 4 graphic novels, 1 audiobook, and one novella.
Currently Reading
I’m currently listening to The Last Bloodcarver by Vanessa Le on audio, and I’m really enjoying it so far. Island Rule by Katie M. Flynn is up next for me on my kindle. Both of these are ARCs from the publishers, so a huge thanks to Macmillan Audio and Gallery.
Stacking the Shelves
This week’s stack has a fun and action-packed vibe. I’m already reading The Last Bloodcarver and it’s great so far. The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh is one of my most anticipated books of the year, so I am thrilled to add it to my kindle!

Weekly Goal & Final Thoughts
February had me a bit overwhelmed, so I’d like to focus on more relaxed reads this week. Also, I’d like to just keep a good pace with my reading and savor the books I read.
