There are some fascinating covers in this week’s stack. Not so much pretty, but a lot of pretty interesting!
Back for Blood somehow manages to be both a bit pretty and a bit pretty creepy in this cover. It looks pretty at first, then you get a good look at the images and it flips to pretty creepy.
Odette Rising looks like the closest cover to really pretty. But I really love the style of The Dungeon Book – and probably the book as well, as that’s the one I’m most curious about. I’m also seriously wondering about Ebenezer Scrooge: Ghost Hunter, but that’s more in the vein of wondering WTF really, really hard.
There are three books here I’m looking forward to read. In fact, I’ve been looking forward to each of them for quite some time at this point. They are Believer, because I fell really hard into the first two books in the series, A Case of Fear and Favor, because the first two books in that series were just such terrific mysteries and Those Who Are Gone because I adore the author’s work and found the first book in this series interesting enough to want to see how it continues.

I only added one to my stack this week, which I am fine with. My mood has been all over the place, and I am struggling to figure out what to read. I hope you enjoy all of these when you get a chance to read them.
Your response to moody reading is probably more sensible than mine. When I can’t figure out what I want to read I tend to download EVERYTHING I see and regret later. I hope you find the right book to break your slump soon!

I actually picked up The Rainy Day Bookshop today at a book fair and looking forward to reading it. You have quite a few books I have not heard about. Thank you for including the links. I need to check them out.
Rainy Day Bookshop looks like a comfort read to me. I’ll be interested to hear what you think about it if you get to it first!
