DANL added a bunch of stuff slated for June release, but it turns out you can't pre-order in advance, otherwise I'd have put that just-released Roberta Gellis historical in the cart yesterday when I decided to get the Burrowes book and bundle from the May selections with the discover15 discount coupon (and their Wishlist function is at present non-functional). All 6 of the May releases seem to be listed on the front of the shop area.

They have added a couple of new older books to at least the Historical Fiction section, which is an encouraging sign, and at some point they put up a Books for International Readers subsection for the stuff they have the rights to distribute worldwide, which is nice as it helps keep people outside the US/maybe-Canada from doing the hover-over and finding out all the books they want are geo-restricted.

Oh, and they have a freebie, in case anyone considering the club want to see how the DRM-free MultiFormat bundle thing works: Summons, paranormal romance tie-in novella by Shona Husk.

I think I'll see if they preannounce anything good for next month's selections as a sneak peek. Out of the current lot, the Galen spy thing looks the most interesting, but her other books seem… somewhat unrealistic*.

* What upper-middle-class Brit twit seriously-for-serious names their daughter Raeven? People will think she's a) a low-class trashy proto-Goth who's been written into the wrong sort of book, and b) has illiterate parents who can't spell a simple 5-letter phonetically-pronounced bird's name. Or that she's using the Napoleonic War Era equivalent of whatever a stripper alias was back in the day.
