And because I can never resist a collage - all of the #julybookmailforme covers; highlighting (enlarging) the four I'm most interested in.

I, Eliza Hamilton | Susan Holloway Scott
post image

So tempted. Think I'll probably love it? But slightly worried I'll hate it?? I feel like it's either gonna be amazing or disappointing. Pubs 9/26. #hamilfan #hamilton.

And that's a wrap for #julybookmailforme! Thanks for playing along. 🙂

Smangela I've enjoyed other Susan Holloway Scott books! 7y
howjessicareads Good to know @Smangela! I've never read anything by her. 7y

Ehh, I read one Joe Gunther book, and didn't love it. Probably not. #julybookmailforme

The King of Fools | Frédéric Dard
post image

Pushkin Vertigo is reprinting a selection of the late Frédéric Dard's crime novels in English. Looks like a fun, fast read! Pubs 9/5. (SERIOUSLY, ALL the books pub 9/5. Do all publishers assume everyone spends the entirety of Labor Day reading...??) #julybookmailforme

Dead in the Water | Denise Swanson
post image

I'm so judgmental, but I must confess that reading about a town named "Scumble River" is not super appealing... pubs 9/5. #julybookmailforme

howjessicareads It's very fun @annamae! 🙂 7y

The first in a planned 10 book series, starring Countess Beatrice von Falklenburg who investigates a series of crimes in the environs of Prague between 1904 and 1914. Kinda interested! It's a favorite era. Pubs 9/5. #julybookmailforme

BookishMarginalia That cover, though. It doesn't inspire... 7y
howjessicareads RIGHT?? @BookishMarginalia. Poisoned Pen covers are almost always so terrible. Le sigh. But I have learned to give them the benefit of the doubt. 7y
SaraRosett @BookishMarginalia @jess.how Totally agree on the PP covers. Interested to hear what you think of it Jess. I have it on request at the library. 7y

Fever | Deon Meyer
post image

I requested this one bc I'm a big fan of Meyer's Benny Griessel series - love the way he evokes contemporary South Africa. But I didn't realize this is a standalone! Set in a post-plague future South Africa, where survivors work together to create a utopian settlement. Super intrigued! Pubs 9/5. #julybookmailforme

An Echo of Murder | Anne Perry

Pubs 9/19. Not really a Perry fan though. #julybookmailforme

The intersection of a couple things I find very interesting! (And timely.) Probably will review - pubs 9/12. #julybookmailforme
