My household goods were delivered on Thursday and I’ve been busy unpacking. The delivery guy made a comment on the number of boxes of books I had. He did have to carry them downstairs to the basement library.
I also got cable and internet connection set up. I was suppose to have that done last weekend, but there were technical difficulties.
The new commute is pretty painless — and it would be even less painful if it wasn’t so hot and humid. I like the new building and I can live with the new setup.
Have I got any reading done? No. Too tired when I’ve had free time. However, I think I read when I’m doing the laundry, instead of unpacking. And yet . . . most of the boxes in the basement are full of books — so, who knows? I haven’t seen some of them in YEARS! They’ve been in storage.

Has this ever happened to you?
Your browsing through your feed reader (or whatever) and you come across a book cover for a book that’s not out yet, but the couple on the front looks just like/reminds you of characters from a totally different book??
It happened to me recently. I was just minding my own business and suddenly, there they were:
The hero had short blond hair and well-muscled. The heroine had long brown hair and it looked like she could wield a sword. It was them. . .
Kate and Curran.
The cover reminded a little of the scene in Magic Strikes, near the end of Chapter 27. They just defeated a silver golem and both are wounded. Kate chews him out and Curran swoops her into his arms and asks if she had been worried about him.
Here’s the book cover. Cassie Ryan’s Seducing the Succubus. Added to the wishlist.
“Kiss me and I’ll kill you,” [Kate] warned.
“It might be worth it,” [Curran] said softly.

Today, Ilona Andrews posted the cover of the follow-up to On the Edge on her site. I thought this would be a good occasion to do a post featuring the covers of books I’m looking forward to reading. Most are ‘next in the series’. A couple of the books are for series I haven’t started but have the first book and the second is on order (Aguirre’s Corine Solomon series, Devoti’s Amazon series, Carriger’s Alexia Tarabotti series, Singh’s Guardian series — the books intrigued me enough to chance buying/ordering the second):
Hell Fire by Ann Aguirre
Demonkeepers by Jessica Andersen
Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews
