This stack encompasses a whole lot of pretty, quite a lot of interesting, and all in all, a considerably amount of pretty interesting in one way or another. It also doesn’t scratch the surface of all the books I picked up at Worldcon, but I’ll be parcelling those out in various stacks for weeks!
The purely, honest-to-goodness pretty covers are, IMHO, The Glass Slide World, The Hearth Witch’s Guide to Magic & Murder, Overdue, Soyangri Book Kitchen and Tea & Alchemy – that last one in spite of the skull prominently displayed. I’m also personally finding The Door on the Sea to be gorgeous, because the art is very reminiscent of the beautiful work that is EVERYWHERE in Alaska and its an aesthetic that I miss seeing – which I was most definitely reminded of on our trip.
The book I picked up for the title is absolutely Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World. I can’t wait to see what that one’s about. The one that I’m most curious about it Hole in the Sky because a bunch of us in my reading group were debating whether it was, or was not, SF. I think it’s SF but the blurb was a bit equivocal and it tasks ALL OF US.
The books I can’t wait to read are Mirage City, Mockingbird Court, A Mouthful of Dust and the aforementioned Tea & Alchemy. The books I’ve already read because I simply couldn’t wait are Legalist , Queen Demon and The Witching Moon Manor.
What about you? Which titles are you most looking forward to in YOUR stack?

So many pretty covers. I have to be strong when I’m at the bookstore, not to fall for them. LOL.
“Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself”, which is pretty much me and bookstores and book lists and anything to do with books. There is no “bookaholics anonymous” because no one wants to be cured! LOLOL

Great covers! I really need to get back on track with the Shady Hollow series. I enjoyed the first one. 🙂

They’re terrific. Possibly best not to consume all at once, but when one is in the right mood they REALLY hit the spot!
