Books for September

September is an excellent month for new releases – books I want:
Diana Gabaldon’s “An Echo in the Bone” (umm… I’m going to say historical fantasy): I can’t believe that we are finally getting the next book in Ms Gabaldon’s Outlander series.  It’s been way too long since the last one (and no, I’m not doing [...]

Books for July

Halfway through July and my sidebar is still displaying “May Books I Want”.  I feel slightly embarrassed.  I may even update it later today.
Anyway, here are the July books I want.  Rather unusually, there are three historical romances to start off:
Mary Jo Putney’s “Loving a Lost Lord” (historical romance):  A straight historical romance from [...]

Me = Bad Blogger

Real life completely gets in the way. 
Ah, anyway, bank holiday weekend – hurray!  Dawdling home, I decided to stop by the library (rare occurrence, trust me) and came out with these two books:
John Scalzi’s “The Last Colony” (military SF):  I have the first two books in this very loose trilogy (or is it [...]

Books for May

So after the fantastic month that was April (no, I haven’t posted my thoughts on any of the April releases in detail, and yes, I still have the Ann Aguirre and Jo Beverley left to read), here are the May new releases I’m anticipating:
 
First up, Diana Peterfreund’s “Tap & Gown”, the fourth and final [...]

Books for October

Books I’m planning on getting this month:
Karen Chance’s “Midnight’s Daughter” (urban fantasy):  I’m a big fan of Ms Chance’s Cassie Palmer series, and this title is the first in a new-but-related series and is set after the third Cassie book (“Embrace the Night”).  Dorina Basarab is a dhampir (human-vampire mix, apparently) who occasionally has [...]

Books for May

Okay, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to post covers properly for this post.  I’m not liking the WordPress upgrade much. (ETA: No, I still can’t insert pictures directly - this is driving me mad!)
Anyway, May books I’m looking forward to:
Charlaine Harris‘ “From Dead to Worse” (urban fantasy) – I’ve been a [...]

Around the Web

Patricia Briggs posted a January update on her website.  Have I mentioned that I just loved her latest Mercy book, ”Iron Kissed”?  It was everything an urban fantasy should be.  And I was so rooting for the guy she picked.  Heh.  I’m really pleased she didn’t drag on that love triangle.  I’m not entirely sure if it was [...]

Around the Web

Despite me not completely loving the last two books in the series, Charlaine Harris‘ Sookie Stackhouse series remains one of my favourite urban fantasy series out there.  Ms Harris has put up an excerpt for the latest Sookie story “From Dead to Worse” (May 2008).  Also another kooky cartoon-like cover.
Another of my favourite urban fantasy [...]

Books for October

New releases coming out this month that I want:
Lisa Kleypas‘ “Mine Til Midnight” (historical romance) – While I wasn’t hugely keen on her contemporary debut “Sugar Daddy” (I say that, but I’m probably still going to get its sequel), I loved her Wallflowers quartet.  So I’m obviously going to get Cam Rohan’s story.  Oh, this [...]

September books I want

A bit late with this one, but anyway, here are the books coming out this month that I’m planning on getting / have bought.  Not that many this month, really.
“Caressed by Ice” by Nalini Singh (Paranormal romance) – Despite the rather awful cover, I’ve been looking forward to this one.  It’s the third in her Psy-Changeling [...]
