Throwback Thursday (51)

Let's talk about those books already on the shelves, yours or the stores.

I have a post for books I'm looking forward to coming out;

Looking Forward To...
But what about all those wonderful books that are ALREADY on the shelves.

Whether it be on your shelf waiting to be read or on the shelves in the stores waiting for you to give it a good home.

So, I thought I would share a book a week that is just waiting for me to travel through it's world.

Now... where do I start? Lets go by Published Date on the books...

This Week:

Oh, many of you know I'm an anthology lover.  I love those short stories with just tastes of what new authors, and already loved authors, have to share with us.  This one was on the TOP of my list before it was released and when it hit the shelves I jumped to go get it.  And darn that time issue for not giving me the time to get caught up to read this.  I REALLY want to get to it, and it's with my hearts desire of Fantasy stories.

  2. I have to be honest, I don't like the cover. The composition is horrid. HOwever, the book sounds interesting. I love monsters! :)

  4. It's been a great long while since I read any sword and sorcery; perhaps the shorter pieces in this anthology will be enough for me.

  5. I like anthologies for the same reason. I love the opportunity to try a sample from an author I've been wanting to read. :)

    This one looks like it has a wide range of authors to try. Very cool. Hope you enjoy.
