1/ Network
Effect by Martha Wells – I love the Murderbot novellas and cannot wait to dive
into a full-length novel. Grumpy cyborg with anxiety problems for prefers to
escape into media rather than interact with people. Start with All Systems Red.
You won’t be sorry.
2/ Penric’s Travels
by Lois McMaster Bujold – In her retirement one of my favourite authors,
Bujold, has started writing connected novellas. This is an omnibus of 4, 5, and
6 of the Penric novellas. I’ve read them as ebooks, but couldn’t resist the
cover art on the print edition.
3/ Chaos
Reigning by Jessie Mihalik – I loved the first two books in this SFR trilogy, Polaris
Rising and Aurora Blazing, so am looking forward to book three.
4/ Minimum
Wage Magic by Rachel Aaron – I have been waiting years for this to release in
paperback. This is a spinoff series to Heartstrikers which I really enjoyed.
5/ Fiery Crown
by Jeffe Kennedy – Quality fantasy romance. Book one was The Orchid Throne.
6/ A
Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kaye – This came out in hard cover last year
and I’ve been impatiently waiting for the trade paperback to come out. Kaye is
a marvelous fantasy writer and master of the scene.
7/ Ballad of
Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins – This one is a bit iffy. I’m not keen
on making over President Snow as a hero and prequels are always the risky
(since the ending can’t be happy), but Ms. Collins is such an exceptional
writer I’m willing to give this a try.
What new releases are you looking forward to this month?
