A Short List

We’ve gotten a fair few deliveries recently…

Here’s some of them!

Shadow Queen
This is the latest book set in the Black Jewels world. It doesn’t have the pure brilliance of the original trilogy, but fans of the Black Jewels will find this to be book to be devoured!

From Dead to Worse - Sookie Stackhouse!
The next book in this well-deserving-of-multiple-reads series!
If you did ever want the full box set of most (it doesn’t have the most recent one or two) of the series, make sure you let us know because we can get that for you too!

The Hidden City
Yes, I’ve already mentioned this. But it is well worth mentioning again because it is a really really really good fantasy novel that I will happily recommend to all.
It is *not* a fast paced book. But let’s face it, a lot of the time, the more recent “fast-paced” books have been pretty shitty because “fast paced” is all that they have going for it. ;)
*THIS* book, regardless of what you might think about the pacing, is good.

Outcast: Fate of the Jedi #1
This is the first book in the new Star Wars novel series: Fate of the Jedi.
It chronicles the events after Jacen had died (whoops spoiler alert), and the mis-trust that the Republic begins to feel for the Jedi…
(Yes, I can see some of you thinking: again!?)

Undead on Arrival This is L.A. Banks’ latest book in her Crimson Moon series.

Ruby Dice by Catherine Asaro

When the Tide Rises by David Drake

Storm from the Shadows by David Weber
The latest book by Weber (and one of 3 to be released this year if the rumours are to be believed), this is the next book in the Saganami Isles series!

“Temporal Void” has arrived! (And other books)

Peter F Hamilton’s Temporal Void has just arrived!
It’s the second book in his Void trilogy (the first is The Dreaming Void). I’ve got no idea what the second book is going to be about (or like), but if the first book were any indication, I suspect I’ll be reading it most of tonight and tomorrow and enjoying every single bit of it…
Come on in if you want it. Give us a call if you can’t make it in!

We did get a small amount of other books… The interesting ones are:
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
1634: The Baltic War by David Weber and Eric Flint
Nation by Terry Pratchett.

One other book that TONS of people have been waiting for and asking about: Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Yes, we’ve finally gotten it back in. No, we’re not expecting to run out anytime soon. Yes, we have regularly been wrong about that…
