ON SHELVES
GLITTER ROSE by Marianne De Pierres

"These are very simple stories. However, they are not easy. De Pierres is not an author who is going to hold your hand and spell things out for you." -- Kate Nagy
INTRIGUES by Mercedes Lackey

"This book is so, so upsetting. Oh, it’s still good, and is pretty compelling... but the ceaseless insecurity and self-flagellation of our put-upon hero is often very unpleasant to read." -- Rachel Hyland
OUT OF THE DARK by David Weber

"For the first ten chapters, I wasn't sure what to make of this book… But then I think I finally figured out what was happening. This was a joke. A cunning self-parody. There could be no other explanation!." -- Rachel Hyland

IN THE STACKS
Our topic this month: Dragons!
DRAGONSDAWN by Anne McCaffrey

"One thing I had completely forgotten about Dragonsdawn is that it’s true science fiction." -- Kate Nagy
HIS MAJESTY'S DRAGON by Naomi Novik

"This is almost as non-fantasy as a fantasy novel could be; this could perhaps be more accurately labeled as historical fiction or perhaps alternate history... just with dragons." -- K. Burtt
THE ADAMANTINE PALACE by Stephen Deas

"A rogue dragon bringing back the memories of his enslaved kind delivers a fast-paced, brutal dragon tale." -- Cassandra Chin
THE ULTIMATE DRAGON, edited by Byron Preiss, John Betancourt, Keith R.A. DeCandido
 
"So... short story collection. About dragons. That actually sums up the book pretty darn well." -- K. Burtt
Our topic next month: Military SF
