This is a not too ridiculously tall stack where everything turned out to be in pairs – not that it started out that way!
The two prettiest book covers, IMHO, are Hammajang Luck and The Serpent Called Mercy. Tea You at the Altar should have been a contender, but that slightly turned view that seems to be all that’s available at the moment makes the image too small to get the full effect. OTOH, it’s one of the two books I’m most looking forward to out of this week’s batch, with The Railway Conspiracy as the second in that category.
The two titles that I’m most curious about – although in entirely different ways, are the audiobook of The Atrocity Archives and the Mark Twain biography.
I’ve always meant to read Charles Stross’s Laundry Files series, of which The Atrocity Archives is the first book. But I was looking for a not-too-long audiobook to start this morning and saw that the narrator for this first book, along with most of the rest of the series, is one of my favorite videogame voice actors – and that made my decision for me.
The other book I’m really curious about is Ron Chernow’s Mark Twain biography. I don’t read a lot of biographies, and this book is an absolute doorstop at 1,200 pages, but I listened to Chernow’s Ulysses S. Grant biography at the same length and was utterly riveted – so I have high hopes for this book. (If Chernow’s name sounds familiar, that’s because he was the author of the Alexander Hamilton biography that Lin-Manuel Miranda used as the basis for the play Hamilton.

You might like the first book in the series, Big Trouble on Sullivan’s Island. That’s my fave in the series so far! And it’s cover was VERY pretty, too.

I’m really looking forward to the release of Overcaptain in November and finding out about Alyiakal. I hope that you enjoy all of these Marlene.
I looked on Modesitt’s website and he’s finished the next Grand Illusions book, which will hopefully come out in 2026 if not sooner. Hopefully sooner. I really LOVE that series!

1,200 pages 😱 that would take me years to get through 😂
Have a great weekend!

It would me too, but listening to the Grant book FELT surprisingly fast although I think it actually took me a couple of months!

Mark Twain’s biography sounds good, although long. I listened to Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton and enjoyed it. Have a great week! 🙂
