This was a very good week. I bought one book that I’ve been looking forward to for a while, and I got 5 review copies that all look wonderful! Half are fantasy, and the other half are science fiction books. Here’s some information on them in case you want to check any of them out. The Scar by Sergey and Marina Dyachenko This is a translation of a Russian fantasy novel written by a husband and wife. Sergey and Marina […]

Songs of the Earth by Elspeth Cooper This is a debut novel and the first volume in a new series, The Wild Hunt. Songs of the Earth was released in the UK last year, and it is going to be released in the US […]

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.
