Most Looking Forward To hosted by Pages of Forbidden Love
1~ What book are you most looking forward to based on summary alone? I hate the cover but I am looking forward to the book: Death Warmed Over by Kevin J. Anderson
Ever since The Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it’s been hell being a detective—especially for zombie P.I. Dan Chambeaux. Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching.
Now he’s back from the dead and back in business—with a case load that’s downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, seek restitution from a publisher for not using “spell check” on its magical tomes. And he’s got to figure out a very personal question—Who killed him?
For Dan Chambeaux, it’s all in a day’s work. (Still, does ***everybody*** [delete: the media] have to call him “Shamble”?) Funny, fresh, and irresistible, this cadaverous caper puts the P.I. in R.I.P….with a vengeance.
2~ What book are you most looking forward to based on cover art alone? I have 2! One is super cute and the other is super hot!

Wow, clearly crime novels are the way to go for book spine poetry! I’ve seen some great haikus so far with Karin Slaughter and Kathy Reichs in there…
I love the cover of Murder Unmentionable! So cute. Plus, it’s a cozy mystery set in a lingerie shop!
I’d sure stare at the Burton cover too ;)
I don’t think I’m ever going camping with you…ever. Or maybe I will, as long as I get a flashlight after you tell your creepy-ass campfire story.
Whoa, I think I need to check out Murder Unmentionable, it does look super cute =D And wow, you are reading pretty fast, I am impressed.
Here’s my Bout of Books post.
Sana @ artsy musings of a bibliophile
Uh yea… that Jaci Burton one is one I’d pick based on the cover! :)
Oh and the last time I went camping… a bear walked through the camp. You sure you’d want to go with me? :D
You are doing awesome and some great reads. Loved the Hollows and Beautiful Disaster oh and anything Aggie is awesome!
Love your haiku too! I was eying up my crime shelf for a while but didn’t spot the Kathy Reichs otherwise mine could have been similar!
I couldn’t even attmept Bout of Books I have had two sets of company over the last ten days. They just left and I have five days until another batch rolls in! Some great titles! I am a big fan of the Kim Harrison series. The first book is a bit slow but the series gets better and better! I put that sexy hot Playing to Win in an upcoming Friday Forecast and I was thinking of you! Also can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Blood Bath and Beyond! Have a great weekend!
Heart SICK. WTF?
I go to google it and I’m all like… That’s not the book on Felicia’s blog! Apparently I was still too enraptured by the abs above it.
Just sayin.
Oooh and what’s you think of Beautiful Disaster???
Dude! I have SUCKED during Bout of Books! I really thought I’d have all this TIME bc the girls started school!
Shhhhyea… The first week- I’ve been there for SIX freaking after school things.
Heart Strings looks super fab though!!!!
As does the book with the yummy man candy on it… I didn’t get to catch the title as I was too busy ogling his abs. *shrugs*
Bwaahaha..love it girl.
BTW–I want to play to win too. Yummy.
A bit dark haiku, but I like it!
I love A.C.!! I’m partial to Poirot, but Miss Marple is good, too :)
Murder Unmentionable looks interesting!
Oh, and I love your haiku! :)
Happy reading~
I am currently reading Beautiful Diasaster. I am seriously thinking of buying Playing hurt for the cover alone too. Happy reading
Oh, your Hiaku is kind of chilling! You’re doing great with the readathon, four books is awesome. Good luck with the rest of the weekend =)
Oh my gosh Playing to Win! Is it September yet? I seriously need that book, her books are HOT. And the covers? *wipes away drool* This one may be my favorite yet, along with book one:)
I agree! The others were good but this one is the best! :)
Thanks for entering my challenge! I just love the cover for Playing to Win! I wish I had poster size covers from the entire series to hang up on my wall…not sure what the boyfriend would think about that but it would be a wall of sexy fictional men. :)
That whole series is VERY Swoon worthy! Plus it is coming out just in time for football season *swoon*!
(Tell the boyfriend you are really just supporting sports you can’t help it they have no shirts on)
