Is that one of the 500 limited editions from Subterranean of my favorite Steven Erikson novel? *jealous*
Do you get to read all of those or does your library just get bigger and bigger?
That’s a chunky book at the top! – I’d use my Kindle for that, I think. Otherwise, I am intrigued by ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
The Erikson is certainly impressive, and I see it’s the sixth book in a series I’m not familiar with. I am intrigued.
@Susan Beaty: It’s a fantastic epic fantasy series that does take a bit of effort to get into. The writer kind of throws you in the middle of the story without explaining much, but the pay off for pushing through is beautiful…
You have a Holver Alley Crew ARC! Woo! I haven’t even received one yet. (Of course, I haven’t been home in a week, so it might be sitting on my porch…)
For the curious, it’s the first in a new series in my Maradaine setting….

Because People Ask: Book Acquisition Details
Mr.Scalzi should consider just putting this link. on every ARC post.
I bet my other half would like to get your copy of THE HOLVER ALLEY CREW by Marshall Ryan Maresca. I’m amused by Maresca’s comment above. ;-)
I’m definitely going to have to check out that Beauty and the Beast book!
The Bonehunters. The Malazan books are on my TBR list and I own the first three. Have yet to start them.
Tales of the Malazan was epic in all proportions / world building / characters / storyline. Took me a long time to get thru them all, (Couple of years) but I agree the payoff is beautiful as well as unusual. Memortality sound interesting…..
