Odds ‘n ends over the week about books and reading that caught my eye. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:

  • Four Series That Could Be the Next Big Thing in Paranormal Fantasy — Paul Goat Allen talks about 4 series that can step into the spots left by/being left by Sookie Stackhouse, Rachel Morgan and others. One of which I’m on board with, 1 of which I don’t get the appeal of, and 2 I’m clueless about. You have a take on it?
  • Spying Concerns Driving Writers To Self-Censor — A disturbing note: “A newly released finds that a number of American writers avoid or are considering avoiding controversial topics for fear of government surveillance”
  • This Tweet from Jim Butcher could possibly be the best thing I’ve read in weeks.
    This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:

  • Fiddlehead by Cherie Priest — so bittersweet — a new Clockwork Century novel — yay! the last Clockwork Century novel — boo!. Priest talks about the release.
  • Chimera by Kelly Meding — Meding’s MetaWars series is one of my favorites in the last couple of years, I’m so eager to sink my teeth into this one.
  • The Theory of Opposites by Allison Winn Scotch — Don’t know anything about this (honestly, haven’t even read that link) all I know is that Scotch is going to deliver a good read, full of charm and heart.
