Skin Game release date countdown:

A little late, since it was Shabbos and I couldn't post.

I will post an update in a few hours, too.


I'm actually surprised at you, Lea, for not beating me to it.

Anyway, I was just reading about you -- I just finished Bombshells, and it was pretty awesome!

Spoiler:
I always wondered just what Molly could've done for the svartalves, that they owed her so much.

Wow, Fury of the Demon was a real winner! Yay Diana Rowland!!

GoodReads has some reviews here if you're interested.

Next, Sand Omnibus by Hugh Howey.

Book Description
Publication Date: January 9, 2014
The old world is buried. A new one has been forged atop the shifting dunes. Here in this land of howling wind and infernal sand, four siblings find themselves scattered and lost. Their father was a sand diver, one of the elite few who could travel deep beneath the desert floor and bring up the relics and scraps that keep their people alive. But their father is gone. And the world he left behind might be next.

Welcome to the world of Sand, the first new novel from New York Times bestselling author Hugh Howey since his publication of the Silo Saga. Unrelated to those works, which looked at a dystopian world under totalitarian rule, Sand is an exploration of lawlessness. Here is a land ignored. Here is a people left to fend for themselves. Adjust your ker and take a last, deep breath before you enter.

I picked up the "Wool Omnibus" a couple of months back, so I think that's next on my TBR list.

Watch out! Hugh is addictive to many folks! But the price structure of his ebooks makes that an inexpensive addiction!

Oh definitely. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. I might re-read them later this year because I enjoyed them so much

The World of Kurt Vonnegut: Peace in Amber (Kindle Worlds Short Story)
by Hugh Howey

Publication Date: January 14, 2014

Hugh Howey was a boat captain living aboard a seventy-four-foot yacht in the shadow of the Twin Towers on the morning of September 11, 2001.

Imprisoned and put on display in a glass-domed zoo on the planet Tralfamadore, adult film actress Montana Wildhack is left alone with her thoughts and her occasional lover Billy Pilgrim.

Inspired by Kurt Vonneguts masterpiece Slaughterhouse Five, Howey uses this short story to weave his own personal Dresden experience with Wildhacks private hell. In Peace in Amber, he examines the struggle to determine what to control, when to surrender, and how to discern those things we cannot change.
Thought some of you folks might be interested in the above posts.

Enjoy it when you do! I just finished it and it was quite a good read! I enjoyed it immensely!

*Oh, and it's free to borrow if you're a member at Amazon. Sand Omnibus was my free borrowed book for January and I just returned it.

Next, a re-read of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!

Maybe there's a chance, I believe that Hugh Howey recently included the Netherlands in a book tour. Which 4 books written by Jim Butcher have been translated?

Haven't heard that. Apparently they translated Silo only so far.

Translated are: Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril and Welcome to the Jungle. Since the novels were translated by a small publisher (no longer in existence), I have given up hope for more Jim Butcher fans in the Netherlands unless any of the bigger publishers pick it up. Most fantasy that is published here nowadays is those Twilight, youth fantasy books which do not interest me at all. But apparently that sells...
Oh, and the very big, classical ones of course like Jordan, Martin and alike.
