I had to run errands today. So I also did my library returns on the same round which, (not so) coincidentally, takes me past Borders. I got Voice of the Gods.
And now? Now I am ignoring it. Because Borders also had fresh shiny copies of Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs - the third Mercy Thompson novel. MINE.
I am way, way less than impressed with the cover. I've never gotten the impression from the author's descriptions that Mercy was the tattooed lady; the only tattoo I ever remember any book telling us she had was a paw-print on her stomach. She practically has sleeves of tattoos, literally, in this rendering.
But I didn't buy the book for its cover, and illogical as the image seems overall, I don't care if it turns out to be accurate or not. I just want the story, and I have that.
I think I vanish into a book again now.

But I also got Captain's Fury so neither has really been started.
Still, first chapter at least is still good!

Okay, I have a minor twitch about Iron Kissed, but I still consider it utterly rereadable.
Thank you!!!
