But is it really good value if I already have 8 unread books? Or is it just a bunch more things to go on my TBR and never be read?
I enjoyed the Recluce books, but maybe feel they're going off the boil up in the mid-teens where I stalled. I'm less keen on the SF; what I've read has been a mixed bag (and I'm not sure if I've read any of the books in the bundle).
I'll need to think about it.

I recall reading the first couple of Recluce back when they were originally published, and didn't think much of them. They didn't stay in my paper library for long and I've never felt the desire to continue with the series. So I'm probably going to pass on this bundle - I got the Mercedes Lackey Valdemar bundle earlier this year, and the recent Williams and McGuire bundles, but we already had all the Malazan books anyway and himself wasn't that interested in the Esselmont titles.
I have picked up some of the audio bundles - the recent one with Bujold's Sharing Knife series (although not including Book 4 or the novella) and the Ringworld series, and the earlier one with Martha Wells' Murderbot series. Even though half the audiobooks aren't something I'd read at all, the price points are good for the audio titles I am interested in.
