No.



I am looking forward to several of the "Year's Best Anthologies" next month though!

Which ones? For the short stories, aren't they out already?

I'll second the Twelve by Cronin. I really liked the first one.

I'm also awaiting Winter, the sequel to Fall of Giants by Follet. I hadn't read Fall of Giants, being disappointed with reviews, but I am anxious to see reviews for Winter. If there is a general uptick from Fall of Giants, I'll probably read both.

How could Winter be a Fall book? Now I'm really confused.

Yes, my tongue is firmly in my cheek. I am most definitely joking.
Joking or not, I am confused when the seasons start. The Winter solstice is Dec 21st, so is that the start of winter? If so, the 1st Dec is still Fall.

Anyway. I am waiting to read Robert B. Parker's Fool Me Twice (Jesse Stone #11), which is due out mid-Sept. Is that Summer or Fall? I know not, and care less.

I find the collective lack of respect for equinoxes and solstices in this thread alarming—not to mention slightly appalling.

Just in case it's necessary...

How could the Winter Solstice be the start of Winter? I prefer to go by month:

March, April, May: Spring
June, July, August: Summer
September, October, November: Autumn (OK, "Fall", if you insist.)
December, January, February: Winter

As for me - I'm looking forward to
1635: The Papal Stakes in September
Captain Vorpatril's Alliance in October
and
Darkship Renegades in December.

But not I must stop looking at the Baen ebooks sites, or my TBR list will balloon impossibly. Perhaps in January I'll splash out a bit.

Winter is generally regarded as starting at the solstice: 21st December, so 1st December is still autumn .

By month seems a bit random to me. Aren't there any "official" start dates. I have tried looking it up and am not much clearer. And HarryT seems to disagree with you about the Solstice thing, making me feel a little less stupid...

And I quote from one article "The start of winter—the winter solstice—is the shortest day of the year, when the Sun reaches its most southern point in the sky at local noon."

Doesn't matter, the world ends on December 21st anyway. I've chartered a flight to the planet Mongo. I'm taking the black-and-white version piloted by Buster Crabbe and propelled by buzzing sparklers.
