The pretty covers in this week’s stack are also pretty interesting, and in a couple of cases downright creepy. OTOH next week is Halloween so THAT’S not exactly out-of-season. Speaking of seasons it is starting to feel like fall around here, at least on alternate days. The nights are down in the high 50s and low 60s, but the afternoons can get plenty hot in the sun.
Back to the books. Always! Those pretty and pretty interesting COVERS are How a Game Lives, Lives of Bitter Rain, Our Vicious Oaths, The Satisfaction Cafe and Savage Blooms.
How a Game Lives is also one of the books I’m most curious about, along with The Tower and the Ruin, while for a completely different reason, Circle of Days. Game and The Tower are both books Galen and I were talking about reviewing together, while Circle of Days has my curiosity bump itching because it’s about the building of Stonehenge. I’ve been to Stonehenge several times, and it’s a truly uncanny place so I’m looking forward to seeing how an author captures some of that feeling AND handles the history of which we know very little at all and aren’t all that sure about what we think we do know.
The book I’m most looking forward to reading – in the immediate term at least – is Edge. The whole Detective Harriet Foster series, starting with Hide, has been fantastic. It’s just a terrific police procedural thriller series and its set in Chicago which I always love to visit, fictionally or IRL. However, I’m glad, at least based on the cover, that Harriet’s Chicago has moved on from the frozen wind chill of winter from the previous book, Echo, to what looks like spring. Reading about Chicago’s winter DURING the winter is just too much winter!
What about you? What’s catching your eye in YOUR stack this week?

There are some good seasonal covers there!
It is more autumnal here too. More leaves on the ground and darker mornings.
Have a great weekend!
The falling leaves make GREAT kitty television. They are all riveted to the windows. I’m not looking forward to going off Daylight Savings Time when those darker mornings switch to darker evenings.
Have a terrific week!
