A slightly less ginormous stack this time around – even if it is no less splendiferous in its offerings. There are several really beautiful covers this time around, including Children of Gods and Fighting Men, Glance, and Upon a Starlit Tide. The two books that I’m most curious about are Picks and Shovels and Symbiote. Picks and Shovels because as much as I loved Doctorow’s first Martin Hench book, Red Team Blues, I didn’t expect the thing to stretch to a second book – which it did with The Bezzle. That there’s now a third makes me wonder where this technostalgia trip is going.
I’m curious about Symbiote because of the author’s c.v. which includes stints as a Space Shuttle engineer and in Antarctica.
And the book I’m most looking forward to, in a peculiar way, is Season of Death – no matter how off-putting the title might be. I’m loving the Barker & Llewelyn series, but I just finished book 8 (Hell Bay) and this is book 16. I’m looking forward to seeing how the series goes but I don’t want to get there TOO fast because then I’ll have to wait each year for the next one!

I’m not totally sure about Marigold Mind Laundry, but if The Library Game looks interesting you might want to try the first book in the series, Under Lock and Skeleton Key.
Have a great week yourself!

You have a great list here, Marlene. Have a wonderful weekend 😊
So many interesting possibilities here! The Lady Astronaut series is definitely grabbing my attention.

I loved the first two Lady Astronaut books (The Calculating Stars and The Fated Sky) SO HARD. I really want to go back but keep getting stuck in the ‘so many books so little time’ thing. Because so many books, so little time.

Lots of good books to read! Hope you have a great week!
I do hate waiting for the next book in a series to come out! I finished the first 3 books of a series this week and realized the next book wasn’t out yet and it made me sad. I am assuming there will be another book. Enjoy your books!

Yeah, that’s the hard part about being all caught up with a series. There’s usually a long wait for the next one. Have a great week. 🙂
Picks and Shovels has me curious.
