Summer doldrums
This time of year seems to be rather slow for new books, at least from my favorite authors. It seems like there is a cluster of books that come out in May, then another cluster in August, then October. Thus my June and July purchases tend to be a lot of backlist books. This past month, I picked up a number of Elliot Kay's books (really liked Poor Man's Fight), To the Gates of Richmond by Stephen Sears, Jim Butcher's Codex series, some backlist history books and John Ringo Black Tide series.
This buying pattern is one of the differences that ebook stores have brought about for me. Most brink and morter stores only carried a limited selection of backlist books, so I probably won't have bought the Elliot Kay books, the Codex books or the Black Tide series.
