 Read Chapter One: pdf, epub |
New BooksAdmin. note: I’ve drawn a winner for the Libriomancer giveaway – congratulations to Amanda over on Goodreads! # As some of you might have heard, I have a new book coming out tomorrow. This means I’ll be spending the rest of the week whipping back and forth between TOTAL MELTDOWN and SQUEE-SPLOSION about various book-related things, from an interview at Wired for GeekDad to a giveaway I’m doing at Bitten by Books to reviews and so on. In the meantime though, I wanted to highlight a few of the other books coming out this week. Seawitch [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy], by Kat Richardson. This is the seventh book in Richardson’s popular Greywalker urban fantasy series. You can read an excerpt here. The Unnaturalists [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy], by Tiffany Trent. A new steampunk adventure set “in an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum.” Yes, please! (Also, I love that cover!) Shadowlands [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy], by Violette Malan. This is the sequel to The Mirror Prince, which I enjoyed and reviewed back in 2007. The Grass King’s Concubine [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy], by Kari Sperring. This is set several hundred years after the events of Sperring’s award-winning novel Living With Ghosts. The Spy Princess [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy], a new YA title by Sherwood Smith. Sherwood talks about the process of writing this one – a process that began when she was fifteen years old – in her LiveJournal. You should totally rush over to the bookstore to pick these up. (And hey, while you’re over there, you might as well check out that Libriomancer [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy] book. I hear that one’s fun.) So what books are you looking forward to this month, and what great titles did I miss?

Hi Jim
We got 15 copies of libriomancer here at my work/library. It will be in our branches tomorrow. I got the chance to do a sneak preview of the first couple chapters. Looking forward to tomorrow. Folks it is really good, at least what I read so far.
August 7th is crazy for new releases. I kind of wish they’d been spread out over the last couple weeks and the next couple weeks. There are only so many books I can buy at one time.
Thanks, Ron! That’s great to hear!
There are actually some end-of-August releases too. I think SF Signal had a roundup of more than 100 SF/F titles coming out this month.
*This* is why I want to live forever! It’s the only way I could have a chance of reading everything I want to read!!!

This. This, so much.

I’ve been looking forward to Violetta Vane and Heidi Belleau’s The Druid Stone since I read the rough draft a year ago. It was amazing dark fantasy then–I can’t wait to see what it looks like now that it’s been professionally polished.
