I’ve got a few reviews coming up – I’m reading Promises In Death now and will definitely be posting about it – but for now…
Here’s what a trip to two bookstores yielded:
From left to right:
The Shadow Queen – Anne Bishop
The Cry of the Icemark – Stuart Hill
The Better to Hold You – Alisa Sheckley
The Swan Maiden – Jules Watson
And that bag? It’s even more gorgeous in person. The peacock is handpainted on the fabric. It looks small, but I was able to fit those four books in there with room to spare.
The Bishop book is a coup because it’s official release isn’t until next week; I grabbed it off the shelf the moment I saw it. And it feels like I’ve been wanting The Swan Maiden for forever. I flipped to a random page and loved the little I read. Not a single library in my consortium has the Sheckley book so it seemed sensible at the time to just buy it. AndThe Cry of the Icemark? Total impulse. But it looks good and the girl on the cover is beautiful, don’t you think?
So that was my day in books, and I’d say it was a good one!
