This week’s stack just didn’t go in much for pretty covers, did it? Although any stack with two Phryne Fisher books in it can’t be all bad on that front. I was having a terrible book bounce problem at the end of this week, so when the later of the two books, Murder in Williamstown, […]
My annual Blogo-Birthday Celebration has come to an end for another year. But the giveaways are all still active so please check out all the posts and possibilities! And we have books! More books! Always books! (I also have a cat’s tail in my face.) The most interesting title in this week’s batch is Better […]
Happy April Fools’ Day! Here’s wishing you a day of jokes that are actually funny, and pranks that sit on the right side of the balance between embarrassment and laughter. There’s no fooling around about the books on this list. There are LOTS of pretty covers to drool over, along with a few titles that […]
Well, this stack is certainly…eclectic to say the least. I picked up The Right Stuff because of The New Guys, Summer in Orcus because of Illuminations and Midnight, Water City (Water City Trilogy #1) because of Eventide, Water City (Water City Trilogy #2). Books are kind of like potato chips, in that I can’t grab […]
I’m looking forward to several books in this batch, but in completely different ways. The Court War because the first book, The Godstone – which at the time wasn’t obviously the first of anything – was a compelling hot mess and I want to see where things go next. Mammoths at the Gates because the […]
After diving back into the Sebastian St. Cyr series a couple of weeks ago I decided to just go ahead and get the few in the middle that I had neither read nor already acquired. I know I’ll be getting around to them eventually so I figured I might as well just give in to […]
This week’s stack is just chock full of really pretty covers, especially, Under the Tamarind Tree, Where Peace is Lost and Where There Was Fire. Also two books I’m already planning to read at the first opportunity, Payback in Death (In Death #57) and most especially Thornhedge because T. Kingfisher. Honestly, everything looks fascinating and […]
This time around the covers are mostly more interesting than they are pretty. But they are VERY interesting indeed. The book I’m most looking forward to reading is The Road to Roswell by Connie Willis. Some of her early books are among my all-time favorites, especially Bellwether – which I still reread every now and […]
Fair warning, it’s looking a lot like the stacks are going to be getting bigger from here on out for a while. But the net will be cast wide over even more genres, so it should at least be interesting! For Review: Biting the Hand by Julia Lee Chain Gang All Stars by Nana Kwame […]
This is a bit of an eclectic stack, particularly for being so short. I’ve had both Dual Memory and The Housekeepers for quite a while but the covers have just dropped. Also, in last week’s stack I included The Book that Wouldn’t Burn because I wasn’t sure whether the cover was final or not but […]
