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:
- Recent Reads: The Great Way — You may remember I was pushing the Kickstarter campaign for Harry Connolly’s The Great Way awhile back — well, fantasy author C. E. Murphy’s read it and offered a very positive review. Can’t wait!
- One-Star Book Reviews — This tumblr is a very funny collection of bits from one-star reviews found online. Have to admit, that I agree with a couple of them — the one linked here is my favorite.
- The Lock In Audiobook: Two Versions, Two Narrators — John Scalzi’s The Lock In will be released next month, as well as two versions of the audiobook. Scalzi assures us that it’s appropriate for this novel for reasons we’ll get later. Very intriguing. I don’t normally think about getting audiobooks as new releases, but mayyyyyybe this time.
- The lists of new releases for the week that I looked at were long (and next week looks like a doozy, too), so I’m probably overlooking some winners, but here are This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:
- Premonitions by Jamie Schultz — Seanan McGuire described this as Leverage meets InCryptid. Which basically means this is a must read for me.
- Artful by Peter David — “the previously untold story of the Artful Dodger, hunter of vampyres and other nasty things.” David’s strongest when he’s putting his own spin on something we already know. This should be a really good one.
