ON SHELVES
AN ARTIFICIAL NIGHT by Seanan McGuire

"The plot of this novel is so proper Fantasy as to be barely Urban at all... It is so very, VERY good." -- Rachel Hyland
DEATH MOST DEFINITE by Trent Jamieson

"This isn’t Dead Like Me… in this mythology, dealing with death pays quite nicely, due to a well managed stock portfolio and diversified business model." -- Rachel Hyland
FLAMING DOVE by Daniel Arenson

"I wonder if I’d have enjoyed this novel as much had I not seen and adored Legion and Supernatural Season 5?" -- Rachel Hyland
STARGATE SG-1 #15: THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE by Steven Savile

"Trust me, if it saves you $8 and the time and effort it takes to read this garbage, you'll thank me for the spoiling." -- Geonn Cannon
STARGATE SG-1 #16: FOUR DRAGONS by Diana Dru Botsford

"If you want a good Stargate adventure (and why wouldn’t you?) you could do worse than Four Dragons. A lot worse."  --  Geonn Cannon

ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card

"Ender's Game is one of those books you know you should read… then one day you pick it up, and you wonder why you waited so long." -- Sara Paige
HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE by J. K. Rowling

"The publishers were probably happy to give Rowling free reign, with very little editing… she was, after all, their license to print money." -- Cathy Thomson
JONATHAN STRANGE AND MR. NORRELL by Susanna Clarke

"After the first hundred pages, I was beginning to grit my teeth and contemplate how much weight I would gain if I rewarded myself with chocolate every ten pages." -- Rachel Day
PALADIN OF SOULS by Lois McMaster Bujold

"With Ista, who is flat-out forty, Bujold has tapped into the -- gah, I hate the word zeitgeist, but that’s what Bujold has tapped into." -- Kate Nagy
STARSHIP TROOPERS by Robert Heinlein

"The book is much different from, and much better than, the movie. In fact, if you wish to completely ignore the existence of the movie altogether you have my blessing." -- K. Burtt
WHERE LATE THE SWEET BIRDS SANG by Kate Wilhelm

"This book takes you places you never quite imagined it might when first you picked it up." -- Rachel Hyland
