Eagerly awaiting...

Post by Edge »

Any upcoming or newly-released book you can't wait to get your paws on?

For me: Terry Pratchett's new Discworld volume, 'Thud!', which was just released yesterday. I NEED it! :x

It's GOOD. Though the editing is atrocious. :?

Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys, available tomorrow!

Some book called Fatal Revenant, you probably wont have heard of it... ;)

That Terry Pratchett one sounds good! I'm always quick to buy anything Pratchett writes, he seems almost unable to write a bad book (except Truckers, Diggers, Wings. Which were boring as hell, but I still read them for some reason.)

Man, am so far behind in my Pratchett's, I've stopped paying attention. Now Edge has ruined my carefully cultivated ignorance: I want it too! ;)

I happened upon her website a few weeks ago. The Temeraire series looks interesting. I'm not a huge fan of the Napoleonic Era, but I read an excerpt from one of the books and it seems like a unique fantasy concept.



I was eagerly awaiting TC Boyle's Talk Talk, but noticed it has been out for a few months now. I guess my wait is over :)
