This is, pretty much in its entirety, a shelf of curiosity. Both Ann Cleeves’ mysteries and Joe Abercrombie’s dark fantasies have been recommended to me – and frequently at that – but I’ve never managed to shoehorn either into the towering TBR pile until now. While The Adventures of Mary Darling just sounds fascinating with […]
Saying that I didn’t get much this week is like saying water is wet. And it’s really weirding me out. To be honest, originally there was only one book on this list. Well, there was only one book after I moved the four books that don’t have covers yet to next week’s stack. Again. I […]
This stack has pretty covers and pretty cool covers as well! I think the prettiest covers are The Geographer’s Map to Romance and Pets in Space 9, although they are clearly not pretty in the same way at all. Ill-Fated Fortune is also pretty, but mostly it makes me pretty hungry when I look at […]
A slightly shorter stack this week. I do have a few more, but no covers to go with them – so they’ll be waiting a bit. But the books with covers I do have are an interesting bunch. The pretty covers are The December Market and Greenteeth. The book I’m most looking forward to is […]
I’m doing this a couple of days early this week because Hurricane Helene – not that she’ll still be an actual hurricane by the time she reaches Atlanta. But we will get LOTS of wind and rain, which has the potential for falling trees and downed power lines, so I’m running ahead a bit just […]
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 […]
Unlike last week’s stack, this time there are definitely some covers that are outright pretty, The Concealment of Endless Light, The Page Turner, and Rules for Ghosting. The books I’m really curious about are Kills Well With Others and Where the Axe is Buried. Kills Well With Others because it’s the follow-up to the marvelous […]
It’s not so much that this stack is shorter as it is that the stack of books for which I have covers is shorter. Some of the stuff that’s not being published until next year has eARCs available but no cover art yet. And so it goes. I’m not sure that “pretty” is a word […]
There are a few, let’s call them themes, in this week’s stack. There are two books about books, two books with pretty much the same premise, some really pretty covers with very similar color schemes, more pretty covers, and one book I just can’t wait to read. In no particular order, the books about books […]
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. […]
