Mogsy’s Book Haul

Among Thieves and Sworn in Steel – a long, long time ago…well, okay, it only feels like a long, long time ago, I read the excellent debut Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick. I’ve waited the last two years for the sequel Sworn in Steel, putting it on my anticipated lists for 2012 and 2013 only to be disappointed. But now it’s FINALLY HERE!!! Words cannot describe how excited I am. I’ll be writing a review for the book tour closer to release date, and was sent a package with both books by the publisher.

Night Owls – I’ll also be doing a tour review of Night Owls next month. I’ve been seeing some great things about this fun looking urban fantasy already, so I’m really looking forward to it.

The Waking Engine – I wrote a review of this a couple weeks back, and even though the style of the writing and story isn’t exactly my cup of tea, I think it’s a really well written book and I’m not surprised at all at the praise it has gotten already since its release earlier this month. My thanks to Tor Books for this!

Night Broken – Mercy Thompson is one of my favorite urban fantasy series so I was pretty psyched when I received a review copy. I will be getting to this post haste after I finish off a couple more books in my Review Copy Cleanup reading list.

Stolen Crown – I’m a little surprised that I hadn’t heard of this until recently, since according to Goodreads Stolen Crown is actually the 17th book in the long-running Mithgar series. I’ll admit that was a little intimidating when asked to review this, but I told the publisher I would be willing to give it a shot! It certainly looks very interesting.

And now the digital pile, which is much lighter since I featured my NetGalley haul last week. 

Lineage – B.J. Keeton is a very cool gamer friend of mine, and he is working on a trilogy of books called the Technomage Archive. I’ve read and enjoyed the first book Birthright which he funded through a very successful Kickstarter, and he was awesome enough to send me a review copy of the second. I’m ready to dive in!

Chimera Vector – I was sent a complimentary copy of this awesome looking book by the author, who found me through Goodreads because of our mutual love of Myke Cole’s Control Point!

vN – Angry Robot had a sale recently, bringing bunch of their ebooks down to $1.99. I’d read a lot of them already but not this one, and I’ve always been curious about it. How could I resist? For that price I picked up the ebook and the audiobook bundle.
