Enter into Neth Space and you will find thoughts and reviews of books and other media that fit the general definition of speculative fiction. This includes the various genres and sub-genres of fantasy, science fiction, epic fantasy, high fantasy, hard sci-fi, soft sci-fi, new weird, magical realism, cyberpunk, urban fantasy, slipstream, horror, alternative history, SF noir, etc. Thoughts are my own, I'm certainly not a professional, just an avid reader avoiding his day job.

Books Received: Nov. 30 - January 17
It's been a while since I've posted one of these, so here the some books I've received lately. Hopefully I'll get another review written after this big deadline at work passes. No promises.
Books Received: November 30, 2011 - January 17, 2012
I see quite a few books in that pile that I'm interested in reading. I read "Discovery of Witches" a while ago, and the best way I can think of to describe it is as what Twilight could have been, had it been written well, and for adults.
Hmmm...not sure I agree. There are several there that I find interesting.
Control Point - I keep hearing good things, so I plan to give it a read sooner than later.
Planeswalker - I keep hearing great things. I want to see what Mcdonald does in a YA environment.
In The Lion's Mouth - this sounds like good fun. Even though it's part of series, supposedly it stands on its own.
I like Mark Chadbourn's fiction a lot, though I won't get to his anytime soon (I still have a much earlier trilogy to finish up). Mieville is always a winner with me, though I read Embassytown a while back, so this goes into the charity pile. Same for Territory, though I haven't read it yet, I've heard great things and I've had the HB of it for quite a while.
...and this why I always feel so far behind...so many good books to read...so little time to read.

re-load the page. I originally posted the wrong picture (one that was 1 year old).
But I do need to read Discovery of Witches eventually.
One of your rare books received posts where other than CONTROL POINT, which I've already read, nothing strikes my fancy.
