As the year winds – or perhaps that should be dribbles – to a close, the stacks are definitely getting smaller. Which is probably a good thing. This week’s stack is fun in that I think they’re all pretty – although, as usual, they are pretty in pretty different ways.
The title I’m really, really curious about is Christopher Moore’s Anima Rising. One of my friends loves his work, so I’ve tried to get into it multiple times and bounced off. But this one looks like it might work for me. We’ll see. The cover is certainly gorgeous.
The book I’m particularly looking forward to, or at least to one story in it, is Love in Other Worlds. One of my favorite authors, M.L. Buchman, has a story in the collection titled, “The Hanukkah Pretzel Prophecy” and I’m both curious and looking forward to reading it. Because, well, what could pretzels have to do with Hanukkah? Inquiring minds REALLY want to know!

I agree, they are all pretty in different ways. I would LOVE to know what a pretzel has to do with Hanukkah, you will have to share once you know 🙂 Thanks for hosting week after week. Have a great weekend!

Me too about the pretzel. Normally I expect latkes. And you’re very welcome as this is one of my favorite features and honestly, it helps me too!

One way Witch looks interesting.
It’s the follow up to She Who Knows and that was interesting so I expect this one to be too!

It does, doesn’t it? There are several books I haven’t read mentioned as readalikes so I hope it also leads to more!

Wait, our stacks are supposed to get smaller? I missed that memo. Have a wonderful weekend.

Mine gets smaller cause it’s all ARCs and the people who deal with those are taking time off just like the rest of us. Or at least I hope so for their sakes!
