The Flint/Barber for sure. Don’t recognize any of the other authors, and while they may be very good, I’m 80 years old and barely have time to keep up with authors I know I’ll like.
I’m looking forward to the second book in the SIlvers series by Price.
Jenny Lawsons book. The first two are hillarious, looking forward to the third one.
The One Memory of Flora Banks…mostly for the atavistic chill it gives my currently fogged brain and fear of dementia.
John, how are your art chops? Plan to color Jenny’s book?
The first title amuses me.
I was hearing something about Benford’s THE BERLINE PROJECT just last night; I’m a little intrigued, though straight alt history isn’t really my thing.
Whoops, and this is why I should click the Preview button. Sorry, I meant BERLIN, not BERLINE. (blush)
Benford has a new book? Alt history of the Manhattan Project? I’m so there!
Oooh, Dave Kellett’s Drive!
Nice to see a Bud Sparhawk short story collection. If it includes some of his non-Analog work I’ll get a bonus of reading some new-to-me tales.
The Berlin Project sounds promising.
‘Strange the Dreamer’ by Laini Taylor I’m looking forward to reading this one.
Does anyone else find it strange that the thickest book has the smallest spine print?
Thank you, other commenters, for your suggestions on additions to my TBR pile.
It is lovely to see a copy of DRIVE before all those KickStarter copies start arriving. You can also read DRIVE as a webcomic: http://www.drivecomic.com/archive/090815.html
A new Benford book would be on the top of my list. Its been a while too
I’m down with a new Benford offering! Miss him.
Oooh, I’m looking forward to Jenny Lawson’s new book!
Eric Flint for the goal!
Europe will never be the same after the injection of the UMWA into the center of the continent!
Thank Dawg!
Ooh, the Laini Taylor book sounds good!
