Ordered:
Lock In - John Scalzi
Mirror Empire - Kameron Hurley
They're both released next week, though I think the UK edition of Mirror Empire is the week after. I actually have Hurley's God's War on my pile unread, with the rest of that trilogy still to buy, but there's enough positive buzz on this new series that I'm eager to get in right away.
Actually, now I think of it there are also a couple of Scalzi books I've bought and not read yet, too...

Got a delivery yesterday, my one missing Culture novel, The Hydrogen Sonata, as well as Feersum Endjin, completing my collection of Iain M Banks books.
Also Foxglove Summer, the 5th Peter Grant book by Ben Aaronovitch. (A sort of contemporary magical realism I guess, I recommend them as a fun read. If I have one criticism, it's a minor over-use of pop-culture references. But just a minor one.)

Well, purely by chance I wondered into a bookshop yesterday and found Fall Of Light, the next Kharkanas book by Ericson.
I only found out it existed a few days ago here on the Watch, so I couldn't resist.
Of course, this might imperil my planned Bakker re-read, since I will have to read Forge Of Darkness again as well.

I've read that one, now waiting for the 3rd. I presume there will be a 3rd one? There's been nothing about the Edur yet, although grey skin hinted at in FOL.Avatar wrote:Well, purely by chance I wondered into a bookshop yesterday and found Fall Of Light, the next Kharkanas book by Ericson.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!
