Oooohhhh! You have Quantum Night! Color me just a tiny bit green right now. :-)
So John, what do you do with all these books?
Do you have the most amazing library collection of recent sci-fi and fantasy in your basement?
I’m jealous at the thought of all those wonderful Subterranean Press books in the same place…

Morning Star…it’s difficult to see what Pierce Brown can do to top Red Rising and Golden Son, but I’m looking forward to finding out.
I noticed that Quantum Night too. According to Sawyer’s blog it isn’t due out until March. You must be special Scalzi.
I’m too busy re-reading Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen.
Morning Star…have loved that series since I reviewed an ARC of Red Rising.
I heard The Girl from Everywhere was good and am considering buying … let us know your thoughts :)
Can’t wait for Morning Star!
I’m always intrigued by titles first–so I am curious about Highly Illogical Behavior. (That might be my Spock fetish talking though.)
@Pam Adams – I’ve already read it twice. Now I have to go back and re-read all the Miles books to search for hints.
Several of these now on reserve at the library…
Do you usually get non-SF YA stuff? We just got Peas And Carrots at my library, and it looks good, but I had to double check that it doesn’t have aliens or mutants or whatnot like half the other stuff we got in. And I had to look up Highly Illogical Behavior and it appears to be just a classic “Girl loves boyfriend, girl meets agoraphobic boy, girl wants to use agoraphobic boy to get into good college” story.
Looking forward to Quantum Knights.
Counting the hours until Morning Star comes out! The final chapter of the Red Rising trilogy by the awesome Pierce Brown!
You’re a lucky duck! The Last Days of Magic and Morning Star look interesting.
I can’t tell what THE BOOK OF MAGIC is, who it’s by, or who published it. The spine is very nice-looking, but does anyone know what this is?!

– I think!
I’m looking for “Driven” in ebook form now! I’ve been enjoying the “Otherworld” series :)
Alex.: Thanks! Yeah that looks like it! Interesting – not at all what I was thinking it would be, but it looks interesting.
Morning Star! I inhaled Red Rising and Golden Son, and was cranky when I found I had to wait for book three.
I love to read and I like all kinds of books and these sound soooo good. Seeing as I’m only in middle school. Books are my life!
