Woo hoo! WITCHY EYE by DJ Butler, and LITTLE GREEN MEN!
Waking Gods! I’ve got the audiobook pre-ordered; loved Sleeping Giants.
Sylvain Neuvel – the sequel to Sleeping Giants!
Ditto on the Sylvain Neuvel but I like Ryk E. Spoor’s stuff too. I don’t recognize anything else but the Flint and I stopped reading those after 2 or 3 (just got to be too many to keep up with, I liked them but didn’t love them).
The Biggest Bounty sounds interesting. Koscienski & Pisano.
[Deleted for being off-topic. JVP, you’ve been here long enough to know this want an appropriate comment on this thread – JS]
The spine of that third book from the top looks interesting- I would definitely pull it off the shelf for a look.
Just looked up Witchy Eye and that looks really good. Time to pester my library…
Your tweet: “My event is on the other side of the curtain.”
You know, I’m not sure if I want to know what event is taking place behind that curtain. It sounds vaguely salacious.
Ring of Fire, I crave it!
Ring of Fire is waiting at my local bookstore for me to collect (and pay for).
I have Sylvain Neuvel’s Sleeping Giants on order. if good then Waking Giants goes on to my list.
Rick E Spoor – maybe. The first two of this trilogy didn’t grab me, but I may get this one when it arrives on the shelf.
There are enough writers I like in the Little Green Men anthology for me to pick it up.
Who am I kidding? Seanan McGuire is in it. That’s enough.
Ring of Fire junkie here.
Another Ring of Fire fan here, looking forward to buying that in the UK
What do you do with all the books you recieve? Read and store? Store and forget? WHY do you get so many? I joined the community late and am no doubt missing some backstory.
I’m about ⅔ through the Spoor and am enjoying it thoroughly. Have had Ring of Fire IV in hardcover since last year. I like those books. Pretty much the whole 163X series; some are better than others, but I can’t think of any I haven’t at least enjoyed enough not to begrudge the time or money.
SHADOW RUN is the most classically cool title as such.

I slightly expanded my political snark, but if this is not the right place and time, I’m find with bookspinepr0n
Do you read all of these or get to a point where you toss them aside if they don’t grab you? How fast a reader are you?
