Lots of good-looking books this week. Whether they are good reading books is yet to be determined. Howsomever, there’s one book on here that I remember very fondly, Bride of the Rat God by Barbara Hambly. When I read – and loved – this same author’s Scandal in Babylon a few weeks ago, I didn’t catch that the story was a reworking of Bride. But then, I read Bride when it came out in 1994, so it’s not too surprising that I didn’t remember the details, even though I still have my original paperback. One of these days, when I’m looking for a comfort read, I’m planning to go back and see if it’s as good as I vaguely remember.

I didn’t know that M J Trow had a new series out. I’ll have to keep a look out for that . There are some gorgeous looking books on here.
