November 2014 – Page 4 – Escape Reality, Read Fiction!

I love weeks when all the review books are in the “good to great” range, instead of in the “OK to good” range. It makes for an excellent week.

Speaking of good books, it’s that time of year when the “Best of the Year” lists come out. My first one has already been published, well, sort of. Library Journal has published its overall best of the year list online, but the annotated versions of the specific genre lists will be trickled out in November. I’m the author of the “Best E-Original Romance” section of the list. I didn’t make a note of when it was scheduled to appear, but Galen checked on each of my authors on twitter to see what they said as they found out. Too fun! I swear this is my favorite thing to do every Fall.

Speaking of things to do every year, or nearly; we’re moving again. We’re headed back to Atlanta after Thanksgiving (and hopefully before Xmas). It’s hard to believe that we just did this two years ago, and that we’re doing it again. (I never expected my life to be choreographed to Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again, I just don’t like country music that much.) We have to pack the books again OMG.

Coming Next Week:

Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie (review)
Core Punch by Pauline Baird Jones (review)
The French Executioner by C.C. Humphreys (blog tour review)
Manipulation by Eden Winters (guest review by Cryselle)
Not Quite Forever by Catherine Bybee (blog tour review)

This was a pretty quiet week in the shelves; I think it’s still the winter lull. The big push for new titles is in the Spring (March, April, May) and in the Fall (September, October). Winter and Summer are generally pretty quiet.

Since NetGalley and Edelweiss are mostly working into the January/February 2015 timeframe at this point, there just isn’t any there there. So to speak. Which gives me a chance to get to work on my “Best of the Year” lists.
