I’m a little bit nervous about talking about ‘pretty’ covers because we’ve got eyeballs in here! OTOH, that might be the perfect garnish for this post-Halloween Stacking the Shelves!
Although, one of this week’s pretty covers is Her Wicked Roots, and that’s also creepy as hell. But rounding out the pretty list are It’s Different This Time and The Once and Future Queen, which really are quite pretty.
The books I’m most curious about in this stack are The Lost Reliquary, The Rush, and once again, The Once and Future Queen, while the book I’m most looking forward to is (no surprise to anyone) Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing.
What about you? What are you most looking forward to in YOUR stack?

I bought two Christmas books this week. One will be a reread and the other book is the newest release, second in the series. I can’t wait to dive into them, but first to finish the ARCs. Have a fantastic weekend!
I looked at your stack this week and those holiday books DO look like fun. Thanks for participating!
