Is it just me, or does it feel vaguely wrong that it’s STILL May but Memorial Day is already behind us? Something about this weekend still being May but Monday is NOT Memorial Day is just not right.
Speaking of not right things, it feels like we’ve definitely entered the “cute” cover era. The “pretty” cover era feels like it’s over. Of course, that could just be because I don’t read a lot of literary fiction which tends more in that direction. Although the cover of The Eagle in the Mountain is gorgeous in its own way. That’s a style we saw a lot of when we lived in Alaska and I do kind of miss seeing it everywhere.
Find Me Where It Ends has the distinction of being the cutest horror or horror-adjacent cover I’ve ever seen. Whether the book lives up to it is yet to be determined.
The book with the best title – or at least the title that most grabbed my attention – is World’s Okayest Oracle (Reluctantly) Seeks Demon. There’s something about that parenthetical (Reluctantly) that makes me smile every time I see it.
What about you? What’s tweaking your curiosity in your stack this week?

It’s not Singing Hills but it still looks interesting. Also a bit on the creepy side.

I kinda want to try the Cassandra Khaw, though I’ve been sort of 50/50 on whether I’ve liked her work in the past.
And of course I’ve goooot to get to the new Nghi Vo; auto-read!

Vo’s Singing Hills is an autoread for me. I’m hit or miss on her other work. I loved Khaw’s Nothing But Blackened Teeth but I’m mixed on most. We’ll both see, won’t we?

I agree with you about May. I can’t believe we had an entire week of May after Memorial Day. Your books look good. I hope you enjoy them. Have a great week!
I’m glad it’s not just me. It feels like it should be June already but tomorrow will take care of that. Have a great week yourself!

Yes, it does feel weird that Monday is not Memorial Day! I have been thinking the same thing. Have a great first week of June! 🙂
You too! Thanks for commenting!

Hehe World’s Okayest Oracle (Reluctantly) Seeks Demon is such a funny title, I’m curious! I want to read Silver & Blood too! I have not read any Nghi Vo books yet but so many of them catch my attention and that cover for The Scarlet Ball is stunningly eye-catching with the creepy smoke-hands.
Some great looking books. Thanks for sharing
