It shouldn’t lean too much this week as there is only one new book to add to the pile! (For now. I am going to the bookstore to have coffee with a friend later today so that could change.) One unsolicited review copy showed up this week. Seven Princes by John R. Fultz This is a debut novel and the first volume in a new series, Books of the Shaper. Seven Princes was just released earlier this month, and the […]

This is a little late this week due to the holidays and all the end of the year posts I wrote instead. I got a lot of books off my wishlist this this year and there’s also one review copy. After this, hopefully I can get back to writing reviews since I need to review a lot of books – Cold Fire by Kate Elliott, The Whitefire Crossing by Courtney Schafer, The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima, Heroes Adfrift […]

This is the actual complete list, not just the books that have covers and descriptions already that I’ve posted about so far. I think I might just keep “Books of 2012” going throughout 2012 as more information comes out on the books coming out later in the year and then just keep going with “Books of 2013” and so on. As usual, I’m sure more books will come to my attention throughout the year that will look interesting, too, but […]
