I keep missing the pretty in these stacks. Have book covers just gotten less pretty, or have I just been making less pretty choices? It’s a puzzlement.
The one pretty – or at least almost pretty – cover is Entwined. There’s something about the cover of Broken Truths that I find esthetically pleasing – and intriguing – but I wouldn’t call it pretty. I just like the art deco style of the thing.
The books I’m looking the most forward to reading are Murder at the Spirit Lounge and The Silver Hand. They’re both second books in series where I really loved the first book, so I have high hopes for them. OTOH the book I’m the most curious about is Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel. The “new Poirot” series has been a mixed bag so I’m really curious to see how the “new Marple” series turns out.
I’m in the middle of Out of Her League right now, and so far it’s been terrific. If it sticks the dismount it will be one of next week’s favorites. I can tell.
What about you? What can you tell us about what’s in YOUR stack this week?

They may not be the prettiest of books, but they are pretty unique covers, especially Entwined. One of my most anticipated releases released this past week, so it is in my stack, plus a few regency books that I am excited to get my hands on. Have a great weekend!
You too. Reading is always a great way to spend part of the weekend at least!

Precious Children looks so incredibly creepy!
Aicha and Entwined look pretty nice as well.
I hope you enjoy reading these 🙂
Agreed about Precious Children. Her previous book, One Level Down, turned out to be creepy too, but the cover didn’t make it nearly as obvious! Have a good reading time yourself!

Nice list. Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel looks really good. Hope you have a great week!
I have hopes about that one. And concerns. But lots of hopes. Have a great week!

Love the cover for The Sea Hides Its Dead
Thanks for another great addition of Stacking The Shelves! I have found so many great reads that I would most likely not have found, if it wasn’t for your posts!
