It's one of the first really chilly nights here in the balmy southland of Philadelphia, and my thoughts turn to finding some place to go see the foliage, burning candles, fuzzy sweaters, and curling up with some new books.
Tonight after a long day at work, longsword rehearsal and a rather mediocre class, I went to Border's to recover with coffee and browsing. And inevitably, there's now an even longer list of books to look for at the library:
-The Whiskey Rebels by David Liss, author of the Coffee Trader and A Conspiracy of Paper
-Espresso Shot by Cleo Coyle, airy, fun, and designed to make you crave good coffee
-The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday by Alexander McCall Smith, not really a mystery, but fakes it well
-Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce - I was sure this one was due out this month, but now Amazon says 4/09. Rats.
-Roanoke by Margaret Lawrence - okay, it's not due out until January, but it's her first novel since 2001, and I'm impatient!
-A Stranger to Command by Sherwood Smith, prequel to the Crown Duel/Court Duel series
-The Shanghai Tunnel by Sharan Newman, best known for her Catherine LeVandeur series
-The Conjurer and Deception's Daughter by Cordelia Frances Biddle, of the Philadelphia Biddles
...and more, but these should get me started.
