So my STS post will feature all the books I've been one-clicking on Amazon. And since I am currently technically a displaced person (all my things are packed up on a boat and I don't have a home to call my own at the moment), I'm not currently buying any physical books. Now, I already have a monthly post I do featuring the books I get in the mail (and it's a lot because I have a serious Goodreads First Reads giveaway addiction), and I'm posting my monthly Read-A-Thon posts again too, which covers the books I receive through Netgalley.

(Titles link to Amazon via Amazon Affiliate links) Jeffers (who with Wells reprised Lassie Come Home) will surely captivate readers of all ages with her lustrous color art. She parts company with Field altogether in creating different adventures for Hitty: her Hitty goes South during the Civil War, crosses paths with a freed slave and, many episodes later, ends up not in a shop, awaiting new destinations (as in the original), but as the prize possession of that former slave's granddaughter. Wells adjusts the prose for '90s sensibilities (e.g., there are no longer any ""heathens"" or ""savages,"" and whaling is said to ""seem cruel and heartless, at the time it was necessary. Mountain-ash wood, Hitty confides, is said to bring luck and to have ""power against mischief"" indeed, as Hitty travels from owner to owner, she emerges from some precarious spots (a shipwreck in the South Seas, a gutter in Bombay). As in Field's version, this Hitty begins her memoirs in 1829 Maine as an old peddler carves her out of a piece of mountain ash from Kilkenny, Ireland. Field's 1930 Newbery Medal-winning classic about a doll with a taste for adventure gets resized, relocated and redecorated in this handsome storybook adaptation. Spine a bit creased, minor edge wear and rubbing, binding fairly tight. Sixth in the Amelia Peabody Mystery series. "The last camel is dead, and Egyptologist Amelia Peabody, her dashing husband, Emerson, and precocious son, Ramses, are in dire straits on the sun-scorched desert sands. It was last Saturday that a lone gunman entered a Lane. Amelia and Emerson leave the calm of Victorian England in search of an estranged fathers son and a lost kingdom buried deep in. While five women died inside the Tinley Park Lane Bryant store. Synopsis About this title Join our plucky Victorian Egyptologist, together with her devastatingly handsome and brilliant husband Radcliffe, in another exciting escapade. Months before, back in cool, green England, Viscount Blacktower had approached them to find his son and his son's new bride, who have been missing in war-torn Sudan for over a decade. They survive the rigours of the desert, the death of their camels, and the perfidy of their guides, only to find themselves taken prisoner in a lost city and civilisation. An enigmatic message scrawled on papyrus and a cryptic map had been delivered to Blacktower, awakening his hope that the couple was still alive. Neither Amelia nor Emerson believe the message is authentic, but the treasure map proves an irresistible temptation. Now, deep in Nubia's vast wasteland, they discover too late how much treachery is afoot (and on camelback). And survival depends on Amelia's solving a mystery as old as ancient Egypt and as timeless as greed and revenge. American-born seventeen-year-old Maya Aziz is torn between worlds.
