There are a couple of really pretty covers this time around! Both The Bookshop Below and Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore are lovely.
But the book on this list that I’m REALLY looking forward to is A Case of Life and Limb. I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed the first book in the series, A Case of Mice and Murder, so I’ve been looking forward to this one for months. I have it in audio as well, and can’t decide how to dive in. That I’m going to dive in is NOT a question.
The two titles I’m quite curious about are The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective and Upton Arms – but not for the same thing. Marigold Cottages looks like an American variation on The Thursday Murder Club – and someone in my reading group has already read it and said it was good fun. Upton Arms is ‘old skool’ urban fantasy in the most literal sense. It’s about a ‘retirement home’ for immortals who may not be able to die but turn out to be not nearly as immune to the vicissitudes of age as they had once thought. It’s just taken a whole lot longer for those aches and pains to affect them. Then again, as immortals, they’re also going to have to put up with their ‘declining’ years a LOT longer. That one is either going to be really good or really terrible – and I’m terribly curious as to which.
The one book in this stack that I have already read is Violet Thistlewaite, and it was every bit as lovely as its cover.
What about you? What looks interesting in YOUR stack this week?

I agree with you on the pretty covers.
I love The Thursday Murder Club so I would probably like a variant on it too!
Enjoy whichever media you choose to read A Case of Life and Limb.
Have a great weekend!
I know just what you mean. The new Thursday Murder Club is somewhere in the virtually towering TBR pile and I can hear it climbing the stack! Have a terrific week!
