In a pretty creepy way, there’s an awful lot of pretty in this batch. Just think, Halloween is just two months away!
Honestly, I’m trying not to think about that part. Monday is Labor Day, and it seems like the year is on a fast slide from that point onwards – until it crashes head first into January 2 and it’s two or three months of unrelieved winter to get through.
But there are a bunch of pretty covers in this batch, In the Veins of the Drowning, The Keeper of Magical Things, The Lies They Told, Sisters of Fortune and even The Works of Vermin – although both the title and blurb for that last one also give me the shudders.
The books that I picked up for the title are The Ex-Boyfriend’s Favorite Recipe Funeral Committee because WTF? and Murder at the Wham Bam Club because that title is one hell of a teaser.
The books I’m most looking forward to are Air Force One, because I love the Miranda Chase series and I’m REALLY sorry to see it end, and Red City because I’ve heard rumors that it might scratch my Jade City itch. I’ve already read The Keeper of Magical Things and it was every bit as marvelous as its predecessor, The Teller of Small Fortunes. The book I’m terribly curious about is The Last Spirits of Manhattan.
I can’t wait to read ALL of them! What about you, what books are you looking forward to in YOUR stack?
