Stacking the Shelves (632)

I have a new category for judging book covers this week, because The cover of The Baby Dragon Café goes beyond pretty and straight into ADORABLE. I also can’t wait to read it so I’m really happy that it comes out in January – at least in ebook – so I don’t need to. To compare, Faithbreaker‘s cover is MERELY pretty, perhaps even verging on beautiful, but it is NOT adorable.

The other books I’m most looking forward to, besides that cute Baby Dragon, are The Cat Who Saved the Library and Chaos. Although, come to think of it, a cat attempting to save a library probably would result in chaos. Both books are parts of series where I loved the first books (The Cat Who Saved Books and Calamity, respectively) so I’m happy to see more of both.

The books I’m most curious about are by process of elimination but both truly so in different ways, The Final Stand and Twice as Dead. The Final Stand because I do enjoy the occasional military space opera type SF and I’ve never read either this author nor, I believe anything from this publisher, so I’m intrigued on both counts. I’m seriously curious about Twice as Dead because the cover looks SO “old school” urban fantasy, while the author is best known for his well researched alternate history, so I had to check to make sure this was a new book and not a reprint. It’s new, it’s different for this author, and I’m terribly curious. I also happen to love “old school” urban fantasy so I have hopes this will bring readers – and perhaps even publishers – back to that genre.
