Coming Soon: Kalimpura by Jay Lake!

Title: Kalimpura

Series: Green #3

Author: Jay Lake

Release Date: January 29, 2013

I’ve heard millions of times that you can’t judge a book by its cover… I totally threw that out the window with this series. I bought book #1 (Green) totally because of its gorgeous cover, but have yet to read it. I am hoping it gets chosen in December’s Your Pick for Nik! book club (nominations including this series will be posted sometime next week). In any case, the plot sounds fascinating and I hope it lives up to my expectations. Has anybody out there read it yet? It is worth reading?

Coming Soon: Imager’s Battalion by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

Title: Imager’s Battalion

Author: L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

Series: Imager’s Portfolio #6

Release Date: January 22, 2013

Imagers are people who can envision something and make it real – an overall concept that sounds fascinating. Modesitt is a well-sustained author who tends to sit below my radar, as I found him a bit long-winded (I read “Soprano Sorceress” series). This new one intrigues me enough give him another try. Are there any Modesitt fans out there? Is this a series you consider worth reading?

Coming Soon: “Ever After” by Kim Harrison

Title: Ever After

Series: Rachel Morgan #11

Author: Kim Harrison

Release Date: January 22, 2013

As mentioned in a post for book #1, “Dead Witch Walking”, Kim Harrison is my go-to author for excellent urban fantasy. I love this series, and can’t wait to find out what happens next! January can’t come quick enough this year. :)

Coming Soon: Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

Title: Through the Ever Night

Series: Under the Never Sky #2

Author: Veronica Rossi

Release Date: January 8, 2013

It would seem that post-apocolyptic novels are hot right now (go figure), and this series ranks right up there with some of the best-selling titles. The synopses actually speak to some original ideas that help these books stand out from their competition. I very much look forward to reading them!

Coming Soon: A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan

Title: A Memory of Light

Series: Wheel of Time #14

Author: Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson

Release Date: January 8, 2013

I think this one deserves a repost, although I’ve yet to talk to an avid fan who hasn’t been counting down for months. In any case:

The final volume of the Wheel of Time series is almost upon us! If you haven’t read Robert Jordan yet, now’s your chance! You only have to wait two months for the conclusion, not 20 years like the poor folk who’ve been following the series from the beginning.

Coming Soon: Rise by Andrea Cremer

Title: Rise

Series: Nightshade (Prequel #2)

Author: Andrea Cremer

Release Date: January 8, 2013

As a prequel series of the Nightshade trilogy, Ember’s story promises to be just as good as Calla’s was, and I can’t wait to see how it develops. So far, the format is incredibly similar to other books on the market, but I still liked it. I’m a sucker for a good teen romance, even one I’ve read a thousand times.
