I’m really looking forward to More Than Fools Fill Graves, a novella from the Gentleman Bastards series by Scott Lynch that’s supposed to release sometime this year 🤞
And also Holly by Stephen King. The character has really grown on me, especially since watching The Outsider adaptation!

Can’t wait for Alecto the Ninth!

Gideon the ninth is a masterpiece! Selling pitch: lesbian necromancers in space.

Each one of the three books released until now is great in completely different ways. This fantasy and scifi series spans through mystery, horror, epic, while talking about abuse and mental problems.

I have Gideon the Ninth on my holds list, only a month to go! Which book has the horror? 👀

[-] Eq0@literature.cafe 3 points 1 year ago

You are in for a treat! One of the few books I re-read, and plan on re-reading again when Alecto comes out.

I’d say mostly Gideon, but Harrow has a fair share as well, just a bit more splatter.

Starter Villain, by John Scalzi.

I can't wait! Everything he writes is awesome, and I get some belly laughs from at least a few things in each of his books.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Is it part of a series? I’ve never heard of Scalzi before!

Old Man's War is book one of six, but there's short stories and mini chapters and stuff, so it's hard to count. Also, I'd wager he has another book or two to write in the series.

I only read of him Old man’s war and I thought it was incredibly poorly written. Are his other books better? Or are they good in spite of the writing?

I'm anxiously awaiting the English translation of Haruki Murakami's latest, The City and Its Uncertain Walls.

Ah, he wrote Kafka on the Shore! I’ve heard good things about it.

What’s his new book about? Intriguing title 🤔

[-] myrmidex@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

I have no idea whatsoever, I like to dive in untainted. 😃

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

NICE, definitely the way to go!

Still hyped for book 5 of Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archives. Might have to reread book 4 when that released though, I've started to forgot what happened in it.

I was not aware Scott Lynch is writing a novella! Now I'm looking forward to that too.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Apparently he had some contract stuff and owes his publisher a few books, he talked about it on his substack earlier this year.

I need to listen to Sanderson! I’ve got Elantris up soon, but I might have to give it a bit because I’ve also got like 2 other books up at the same time 😆

I want that new twilight book mainly because I wanna witness the chaos it creates

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

LOL I didn’t know they were doing more!

[-] gabe@literature.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

An entirely new book is apparently planned and I am so ready for the chaos
