Ahira's Hangar

I just realized that I forgot one - Kim Harrison's new novel, A Fistful of Charms is now in the stores. That is a series set in a sort of post-apocalyse Cincinnati, featuring a young and beautiful white witch. ******************************************************

Anyone looking out for other new books and have a release date? Please add it to the list!

I know two that I would very much like to see in 2007 would be Martin's A Dance With Dragons and the last book in the Blood and Thorn series by Gregory Keyes. Any books you would really like to see come out? ******************************************************

Dances With Dragons!! *****

Fravashi saying (from the formularies of Osho the Fool) <i></i>

I would dearly love to see it come out, but GRRM has to finish writing it first...then comes the editing and rewrites...I have doubts for 2007. Let's hope for 2008! <i></i>

I had a nice long ramble in a big bookstore for the first time in ages today, and saw these new items. Since it has been awhile since spending an afternoon in a bookstore, I do not know exactly when they came out, other than it has been in the last three months or so. Note that this is a US bookstore, and I cannot vouch for anything involving what might be on the shelves in other countries.

Garth Nix ~ Lady Friday (YAY!!!)
Paul Park ~ The White Tyger - third of a four book series that started with Princess of Roumania and seems to be highly regarded by lots of critics
Hal Duncan ~ Ink - second part of a duology that started with Vellum and seems to be highly regarded by many critics - I think Alan might have read Vellum?

Vent away. I know exactly how you feel. In fact, I even often hold off on completed series. I've spent so many years scouring stores to complete series that are difficult to find or out of print or whatever.

Maybe I should get myself a credit card so I can buy off the internet.

Are early releases becoming a trend?

First the Abercrombie from Amazon. And then last week I got Erikson's Reaper's Gale in the mail from the book club.

If it is a trend, it is a very welcome one!
