“So many books, so little time.” I could say that every week – and it would be applicable every time! But there are always a couple or three that I’m looking forward to just that teeniest bit more than the others. And that’s true this time around as well. Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is giving me a few of the same vibes as The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter, and I miss that series a LOT. I’m also more than curious about Uncanny Times by Laura Anne Gilman. I LOVED her Retrievers series, but haven’t connected quite as much with her later work. So I have hope. We’ll see. And Nonna Maria and the Case of the Missing Bride just sounds adorable!
