Another Friday, another tasty stack of new books and ARCs that have come to the Scalzi Compound. I see some very fine work in this one — what here is catching your attention? Share your thoughts in the comments!
The Mere Wife and Medusa Uploaded are both on my “to be read as soon as I’m done marking mountains of essays” list.
Heyyyy! The Crescent Stone! One of my most anticipated books of the year! Matt’s great.
Alan Dean Foster? Does that man ever rest? https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/alan-dean-foster/
Oh! The Mere Wife! Definitely looking forward to that, and the follow-up translation of Beowulf.
New Max Gladstone? Why can’t I preorder this?
I’m curious about “Empress of Forever”… can’t find any reference to it online. Does anybody know what it is? Specifically, is it another in the Craft Sequence?
New Max Gladstone? I would also pre-order STAT. Why won’t Tor take my money??
White/Gannon, Anderson/Hoyt, Gladstone.
The top and bottom books grabbed my attention. The Mere Wife – well, I’m a big fan of the Mists of Avalon, where we finally got another angle on Arthur. This seems overdue.
Medusa Uploaded looks fantastic, too. I don’t know why but characters taken for dead kicking ass: it just don’t get more satisfying than that!
Voyage of the Doooooogs!!!!
(Happy to see a new Greg van Eekhout book in the wild soon!)
Heard Maria Dahvana Headley read at ICFA in March and have been looking forward to The Mere Wife ever since.
UNCHARTED is on my list to look into; it sounds interesting. MEDUSA UPLOADED caught me with the excerpt I read, so it’s definitely on my list to get.
I cannot find any publication information on the new Max Gladstone either from Amazon or Tor. John, what is the publication date on the front of the galley?
What is this Double Secret Unannounced Max Gladstone book?!
MERE WIFE!!!! So excited.
