ON SHELVES
GILDED LATTEN BONES by Glen Cook

"The Garrett P.I. series is Sam Spade meets the Discworld, but is more than merely the sum of these parts. These books are gripping and gritty and just a whole heck of a lot of fun." -- Rachel Hyland
PATHFINDER by Orson Scott Card

"I hate time travel." -- Rachel Hyland
SPELLWEAVER by Lynn Kurland

"This is an engaging read, and Ruith and Sarah are as lovable as ever, but overall the book suffers from a bad case of Second Installment Syndrome." -- Kate Nagy
THE DARK GRIFFIN by K. J. Taylor

"There are many books about the boy and his intelligent dog/cat/dragon/horse/robot companion... The Dark Griffin turns some of this on its head." --  Gabrielle Lissauer
TORMENT by Lauren Kate
"Detecting any familiar formulas here? How ‘bout: Girl has brains, modesty, natural beauty, and a supernatural oddity about her, but beyond that her appeal is a bit of a mystery..." --  Cathy Thomson

IN THE STACKS
Our topic this month: Traders
BALANCE OF TRADE by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller

"It is really quite distressing when the story ends, as the reader really wants there to be more. This is both a blessing and a curse, however..." -- K. Burtt
STARDUST by Neil Gaiman

"Stardust is the story about love, and what it takes to find one’s hearts desire. ." -- Sara Paige
THE WITCHES OF KARRES by James H. Schmitz

"For a book that’s nearly a half-century old, The Witches of Karres holds up remarkably well." -- Kate Nagy
TRADING IN DANGER by Elizabeth Moon
 
"I’m not exactly sure what genre Trading in Danger fits into. It has a bit of military science fiction with a hint of space opera but doesn’t descend into cloying sentimentality." -- Amy Gordon
TREASON by Orson Scott Card
 
"The Muellers are regenerative. Like Wolverine-level regenerative." -- K. Burtt
