The Nightmare Stacks and Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory both look intriguing.
Ooh- the Brooks, of course!
Yummm, A new Charles Stross Laundry Files entry!
Is The Nightmare Stacks a new Laundry novel? Very jealous if so!
Yep, seekingcymbeline, that logo in the middle is the official Laundry File Novel seal of approval.
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for that copy of Nightmare Stacks today
Oh, hey, a new Laundry Files book means I’ll finally buy last year’s edition. I’m cheap…er….thrifty like that.
In that stack I only know Brooks and Stross. I will be looking for both of those.
STROSS!
Joining the queue for a new Charlie Stross book. (In my case, it’s going to have to be a paperback edition of the last one out, because I can’t afford the better part of $50 for hardbacks these days)
loved the recent K.J. Parker story, so look forward to this one.
New Laundry Files novel…Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so awesome.
Also curious to check out Disturbia by David Schow.
Ooh, can’t wait until the next Laundry Files novel comes out for the rest of us. I’ll have to take a look at some of the others in the stack.
Nightmare Stacks!
*SQUEE!*
Goodness, I must admit to a touch of jealousy when I see your stack of ARCs. We get a fair number at nerdsonearth.com HQ, but it pales in comparison to what Scalzi HQ is pulling in. Going to the mailbox must be fun for you!
But to the question, Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory sounds interesting, because c’mon, and Terry Brooks is also welcome.
Stross! I’m a little behind on Laundry Files, but I’ll catch back up as soon as I’ve finished up this damn Masters degree.
Stross. Pre-ordered it. Because Laundry.
Those E. Catherine Tobler books look GREAT!
I’m curious to try Snakewood by Adrian Selby.
Laundryverse!
Time to do the Laundry!
Clearly you can’t read The Nightmare Stacks *and* Snakewood at the same time. I propose you give one of them to me.
Stross and The God Wave – that’s an interesting title, makes me want to know what it’s about right away. Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory sounds interesting, but also like it might be a dry academic book – though I figure it’s not – that’s just how the title comes across.
Ooh, “Breath of Earth” by Beth Cato.
Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory, and the God Wave – both titles I would pick up immediately in a book store. PAMT looks to be a tongue in cheek title, with some fun in it. The God Wave sounds like it might take itself too seriously.
jdcarabella – “Stross and The God Wave” sounds like a German New Wave/Thrash band.
I’ll definitely read The Nightmare Stacks as I never pass on a Laundry novel. The Smaller Evil and Practical Applications for Multiverse Theory also look intriguing.
