Another month, another batch of new releases… At the moment, there are only two books which I *must* get this month - at least for now!
Charlaine Harris‘ “All Together Dead” is out *happy dance* I do like Sookie and her world. And there are rumours that there is a lot of Eric in this book. [...]

The weekend’s finally here - thank goodness! Let’s put it this way - it hasn’t been one of my better weeks, but it’s over now…
On to book-related news, Jo Beverley’s latest newsletter is out, and she’s just put up excerpts from her latest book “Lady Beware” (June 2007). This is part of her Company of Rogues series, and the book [...]
Posted in Sharon Lee & Steve Miller, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Web news on April 25, 2007 | No Comments »
I posted previously about wanting to get Sharon Lee and Steve Miller’s “Web of the Trident”, which was “indefinitely delayed” for an unspecified reason. I’m now guessing this is why - their publisher Meisha Merlin has closed its doors. Sigh. I’m not sure what that means for future Korval stories. However, the authors are still doing their online [...]

Interview with Jacqueline Carey posted on Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist - she talks about her latest book “Kushiel’s Justice” (June 2007), which is the second book of her Imriel trilogy.
The Annual Cover Contest, which highlights the best (and worst) romance book covers for 2006, is now open for voting (closing date May 11 2007). I’ve voted [...]

Tracy Grant is one of my “Where are they now?” authors. She wrote two books “Daughter of the Game” and “Beneath a Silent Moon”, and then completely vanished from the publishing world. It’s been a while since I read them, so I’ve forgotten the exact details, but I remember what stood out was the fact [...]

Two more books from my TBR pile:
Borrower of the Night (Elizabeth Peters) - First in the Vicky Bliss series. I’m a huge fan of Ms Peters’ Amelia Peabody series, which I only discovered early this year. Having read all the Peabody books, I’m now branching out into her other books (and there are a lot!).
The Vicky [...]
Posted in Eloisa James, Lois McMaster Bujold, Mercedes Lackey, Web news on April 17, 2007 | No Comments »
Eloisa James has posted an excerpt of her upcoming book “Desperate Duchesses” (May 2007) on her website. I believe this book starts off a series of three books. The excerpt reads as though it will very much be an ensemble story, and will set up the background of all the other main characters in her series. [...]

My thoughts on two books I’ve recently read:
Claimed by Shadow (Karen Chance) - Urban fantasy, sequel to “Touch the Dark”. I really liked the first book, so I grabbed this as soon as it came out. Note: Slight spoilers ahead for the first book.
Cassie Palmer’s a clairvoyant who, at the end of the first book, has become the [...]

Well, Amazon appears to have got its act together, and has been flooding my mailbox with books I ordered back in January. I also stopped by the bookstore (before the Amazon parcels started arriving on a daily basis), so I do have plenty to read - errr… 27 books to be exact.
New books in my [...]

Amazon has finally got hold of Vicki Pettersson’s “The Scent of Shadows” - hurray! I’ve been hearing very good things about this book, so am looking forward to reading it - let’s hope Royal Mail doesn’t lose it now…
Interesting cover - the front-cover blurbs placed very prominently are from Diana Gabaldon and Kim Harrison. The blurb for [...]
