Last week’s stack consisted of a whole bunch of September books, so it’s probably not a surprise that these are mostly October books – except for Miss Percy. I needed to work ahead because we’re away for a few days and I couldn’t let a Saturday go by without a Stacking the Shelves – even if it’s not much of one. Next week’s stack will probably be HUGE!

These are all September books. I’ve been kind of hanging onto this stack – although not in the literal sense because books are heavy – because I knew there were a couple of weekends coming up where I’d be away and this stack would give me the opportunity to get it done ahead and have it ready to go on the day.

Today is that day. One of those days, anyway.

The prettiest cover – although the book inside seems a bit dark – is Next Stop. The two books I’m most intrigued by are First Lady of Laughs – because I think I remember seeing Jean Carroll on TV when I was a child – and Night Owls because it looks like a really cool fantasy. We’ll see, sooner or later, in the months ahead!

Yet another short stack. They’ll start getting bigger/taller soon, I think. I’m starting to accumulate candidates for the stack that do not yet have covers, pretty or otherwise, to liven up this post. (It kind of feels like I’m saying that Xmas is coming. More books! YAY!)

A short stack doesn’t mean that there aren’t pretty and/or interesting books in the stack. This week’s pretty cover is But Not Too Bold. The book I’m most looking forward to is Shattering Dawn, because I adore the author’s Arcane Society/Harmony series(es) and all of the spinoffs and tangents thereof. The one I’m most curious about  is Our Rotten Hearts, because the author’s previous book, A Tip for the Hangman, was utterly fantastic and I’m hoping for something equally so. I’m also really curious about the premise, the idea of seeing Oliver Twist‘s story through the ‘villain’ Fagin’s perspective.

We’ll certainly see in the months ahead!

But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
Einstein’s Tutor by Lee Phillips

Yet another short stack. ‘Tis the season, clearly. This is a stack that generates more curiosity and anticipation than it invokes pretty – at least for moi – but your mileage may vary. The two books I’m anticipating the most are Blood and Magic and The Hermit Next Door. The one that has my curiosity bump itching is Camp Jeff.

For Review:
Blood and Magic (Goddess with a Blade #8) by Lauren Dane
The Boy with the Star Tattoo by Talia Carner
Camp Jeff by Tova Reich

This week’s stack is short. Like really, REALLY short. Summer just isn’t a big time for new books. Two of the books in this stack won’t be published until 2025 – in the winter.

The two with the prettiest covers this week are also two of the creepiest – A Harvest of Hearts and Out of the Drowning Deep. OTOH, Dead in the Frame is the book I’m most anticipating as the Pentecost and Parker series is ALWAYS a treat!

For Review:
Dead in the Frame (Pentecost and Parker #5) by Stephen Spotswood
A Harvest of Hearts by Andrea Eames
Out of the Drowning Deep by A.C. Wise
Stone (Sentinel Security #7) by Anna Hackett
