[Chris]

I've pre-ordered a copy of Warriors and seriously looking forward to the new GRRM Dunk & Egg story. I'll read the rest too - looks like a great collection.

I'm also looking to get The Warded Man at some point soon.

[Kelly]

I generally enjoy Rudy Rucker's stuff, but I'm just having a hard time picking up anything to read right now. Happens every couple of years or so, I just seem to read myself out. Heh.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon]

Will be picking up The Warded Man, if not this month than next.

Also, I'm a bit behind in my Dresden reading, but I'll be continuing with that at some point.
And I've read both Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck: A Love Story, so I'll probably be picking up Bite Me, but probably not 'til it comes out in paperback.
Lastly, I enjoyed the first 5 books of the Amber cycle, and I'm interested in reading more Zelazny, so I'm glad to see his stuff is coming out in reprint for me to pick up, too.

[Kerry]

I'm looking forward to Shalador's Lady and The Last Stormlord.

[Ron]

I don't have that book by Kage Baker (her passing is so sad) so I'll nab it when I see it. A new Greg Egan novel is great news for hard sf fans, but I'll likely wait until it's in paper. A new Gene Wolfe book, ditto for fantasy. Sisimka, we agree on many things but Rudy Rucker is not one of them, and I'll be skipping this collection. I generally enjoy Charles Stross but the "Merchant Princes" series left me cold; someone please tell me if it suddenly gets good. The best news I see on the list is the republication of Hugh Cook's "The Walrus and the Warwolf." Cook was a very strange New Zealander (sadly blinded then deaded by cancer not long ago)who wrote a massive ten-volume fantasy series unlike anything I've come across, and I haven't read most of it; for instance the books are supposed to be simultaneous rather than sequential. The books are very hard to find in North America and I hope this is the start of an effort to fix that.

[Anton]

I already got my copy of A Local Habitation.

I read Butcher's Turn Coat when it first came out, but with the new Harry installment coming out next month, maybe I'll reread it.

Perhaps I will pick up The Warded Man as well. I've heard many good things about it.

[Ken]

Couple of books on the list

Peter Hamilton
Jim Butcher
Micheal Moorcock
I already have the Michelle West book, reading it now

[Kathi, Moderator & Book Lover]

I'll pick up the Kage Baker book when I see it.
I won Pulse by Jeremy Robinson in FirstReads and it's up next for me to read when I finish Memory.
Some of the others are on my list already--Butcher's Turn Coat and Elliott's Traitors' Gate.
I picked up a couple Hugh Cook fantasies a long time ago at a used book story, but I hardly ever see them. Maybe I'll check this out, if it's part of that series.

[Jacinda]

I'll read the Kage Baker book when the library gets it.

[Phoenixfalls]

I'm going to be getting (and thereafter reading) Not Less Than Gods as soon as I can afford it -- at the latest, I'll make sure someone gives it to me for my birthday in May. ;)

Other than that, quiet month for me. . .

[Phoenixfalls]

Yay, just got Not Less Than Gods; Borders helped me out by sending a 40% off coupon. ;)

And, even better, turns out it'll fit in one of my SF Challenge categories, so I don't have to feel guilty about reading it right away. ;)
