What a mixed bag this stack is! There’s one I’ve already read, The World We Make, for an LJ review, and it is excellent. Not quite as good as the first book, The City We Became, but still excellent. The most intriguing title award goes to The Fortunes of Jaded Women, and the book that tempts me the most – but is one of the furthest out, of course – is The Cliff’s Edge. And there are two calling my name right now, The Shop on Royal Street and The Seventh Bride.
So damn many books, so damn little time! Dammit!

What a great set of books this week. I’ve just picked up my first Mick Herron from the library.
These all look amazing! I also have Thank You for listening and Witchful Thinking on my reading list! I agree there is too little time to read everything I want to read! Have a wonderful week ahead.![My Profile](https://www.readingreality.net/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

I always look forward to your giant stack of books to see what I’ve been missing out or what’s coming out soon. I added the Jemisin (can’t wait!) and the Jamie Ford to my list and Babel is already on it. So many interesting looking titles. You’re a busy reader!![My Profile](https://www.readingreality.net/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)

Malice House and Socialite’s Guide both look good to me. I like that silhouette cover on the Shepherd book too. I’ll have to take a look at that one as well. Bring on the mysteries for fall! š![My Profile](https://www.readingreality.net/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)
