New Tim Powers is always cool — that one looks pretty thin though.
The new Tim Powers novella “After Many a Summer” by Subterranean Press must be mine! Luckily, past me pre-ordered it, so that’s easily accomplished.
I know nothing about it, but the titles alone are calling me toward both The Blighted Stars and The Library of Broken Worlds.
In the Lives of Puppets – I have no idea what it’s about, but I’ve really enjoyed the previous two books by TJ Klune, so I figure I’ll like this one too.
I want to read Dragonfall – the Big Idea post by the author really caught my interest.
By the title alone, I want to go get a copy of The Library of Broken Worlds.
The Tim Powers book is calling to me. Ever since I picked up Dinner at Deviants Palace off the shelf in bookstore many years ago, Time Powers books have called to me.
Wow, a big thick short story collection!
Tim Powers always. And a title with libraries and broken worlds. I must go to the book store!
More K.J. Parker stories! A Tim Powers! Alaya Dawn Johnson’s THE LIBRARY OF BROKEN WORLDS–I’ve loved her books before and the title is a huge draw. IN THE LIVES OF PUPPETS, just because.
The Courtney LeBlanc is a very solid book of poetry that I happened to have pre-ordered after seeing some of her poetry online. This is the first book of poetry I’ve bought since college, but I suspect it won’t be the last
Dragonfall and Library of Broken Worlds
