Looking forward to The Calculating Stars!
Kill the Farm Boy!
Ooh, definitely The Cloven. I really loved The Vorrh & The Erstwhile.
Kill the Farm Boy looks like one of those works with the potential to be either awesome or awful.
I’m thinking Kill the Farm Boy will be awesome
I spy some Polish fantasy near the bottom of that stack.
do you read them? Or only like one out of each stack? Just wondering since you get so many.
Tied between the Calculating Stars and Kill the Farm Boy1
Mary Robinette Koval is a name I’ve heard before… Calculating Stars is an interesting concept, too.
I care not one whit about your ARCs but this is awe-inspiringly beautiful. Did you really catch the green flash, or was it edited?
The Vorrh… I’ve had that lying on the floor by the bed for weeks now. Can’t really pick it up to go on with it, don’t know quite why…
Some books I just hit a stopping point and can’t go on. Sometimes an author I’ve always liked a lot, they start a new thing, I can’t get along with the new thing at all. Go figure!?
Unbury Carol, hmm…
Kill the Farm Boy is definitely an intriguing title. Also I’ll read anything by Mary Robinette Kowal.
I got an ARC of Unbury Carol and started it yesterday. It’s interesting.
New Nicole Kornher-Stace…
One of Us sounds interesting!
@Alex, this is what Scalzi does with the books he gets: https://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/03/08/because-people-ask-book-acquisition-details/
Definitely the Kowall
Kill the Farm Boy and Memory of Fire. Both are VERY high on my list!
Kowal is the only author I’ve heard of and I like her work.
