New acquisitions

Short post this time, mostly just to list books that I've received in the past week or so (either via purchase or review copies sent by publishers), but I will note that I will have a bit more time over the next week or so for reading/reviewing for reasons I don't care to go into detail now, except to say that I've come to the realization that I need a new career path. But enough of that and on with the spec fic-related books received this month:


Forrest Aguirre (ed.), Leviathan 4: Cities

Keith Brooke and Nick Gevers (eds.), Infinity Plus: The Anthology

Stephen Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke, Firstborn (ARC)

Alan DeNiro, Skinny Dipping in the Lake of the Dead

Edward Whittemore, Nile Shadows; Jericho Mosaic

Glen Hirshberg, American Morons

Naomi Novik, Throne of Jade; Black Powder War; Empire of Ivory (review copy)

M. Rickert, Map of Dreams

Geoff Ryman, Air

Jeff Somers, The Electric Church

Jo Walton, Farthing


This is in addition to about another half-dozen or so non spec fic fiction and non-fiction books that I've purchased. Lots of things to read during what is shaping up to be one of the more difficult times in my "melodramatic"-sounding life story. But tomorrow shall be a better day. Unless my recent troubles with my vision are worse than typical worsening of myopia, but that'll be a worry for another day.
