Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

I am enjoying this challenge so much. Thanks for setting it. I feel like it has focused my reading for the year and where I initially wondered if I could manage 12 new authors in the year it seems I am well ahead of target.

The list you have is an excellent starting point but it has pushed me to look further afield too.

I have a review ready for 'Clutch by J. A. Huss' once you get a chance to add it.

Thanks for all the work and time you put into the site.

Rhondak101 - 2013-03-08 2:07 PM Could you please add Cinder by Marissa Meyer and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer? Thanks.

On the list, Rhonda!

Kata - 2013-03-09 11:47 AM I stayed up until 2 in the morning to finish A Natural History of Dragons. it is a beautiful story about a young woman following a passion.

I've got this one ready to go along with some other books by Brennan. Almost there.

knobren - 2013-03-11 3:04 AM If you find some time, I'd love to see more books from Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, as well as her Alpha and Omega series. I have all of those books. I just finished her newest book, Frost Burned, and I loved it. :-)

I could have sworn I had that whole series in the DB! It's on the list now.

cmbellerive - 2013-03-14 9:40 AM I have a review of "Hidden City" by Michelle Sagara West ready to go whenever you get a chance to add her! (Mainly, because I had just picked up the book when I discovered this challenge, so I figured I'd keep going and make it my first read...) In the meantime, on to a new woman of genre fiction! Whee.

Very cool, cm! I've got her House War series on my to do list now.

That's great to hear, dihenydd and thanks for the kind words about WWEnd. We appreciate the feedback.

More books soon.... ish.

I've picked up a couple of books by Miyuki Miyabe -- Brave Story (a manga) and The Book of Heroes. I'm not sure how you all feel about adding manga, and I haven't even started reading it at this point. The Book of Heroes is pretty interesting at 30 pages in, though -- it strikes me as a YA level, though the cover seems geared towards children.

You are most welcome!

Yeah, I don't think we'll be adding manga to the site anytime soon. There's just too much to do in the space we're in now with novels, collections and anthologies etc. to branch out that far. I'm really starting to develop an interest in manga from gallyangel's excellent series though. In case you've not seen it we just posted another installment on the blog that you should check out. I'm easing into the genre with anime right now but someday I'll give a real manga a shot.

And now for some books:

Marie Brennan
Doppelganger
- Warrior
- Witch
Onyx Court
- Midnight Never Come
- In Ashes Lie
- A Star Shall Fall
- With Fate Conspire
A Natural History of Dragons

Fiona Patton
The Branion Realm
- The Stone Prince
- The Painter Knight
- The Granite Shield
- The Golden Sword
Warriors of Estavia
- The Silver Lake
- The Golden Tower
- The Shining City

Jennifer Fallon
Second Sons
- The Lion of Senet
- Eye of the Labyrinth
- Lord of the Shadows
Tide Lords
- The Immortal Prince
- The Gods of Amyrantha
- The Palace of Impossible Dreams
- The Chaos Crystal

@Kata: We finally got Natural History of Dragons added for ya. I'm looking forward to your review!

Hapy reading!

That's fine -- I don't actually enjoy manga art, myself. There's something about the big eyes -- seems to have the opposite effect it's supposed to have on me. I mostly just checked it out to get a better idea of Miyuke Miyabe's work.

However, The Book of Heroes is a novel. Would you be able to add it? It seems to be the only thing I can get through my library of hers that's in English.

This page is getting too long for me to scroll through to see if anybody else has requested this title, but is there any way you can add Point of Hopes, by Melissa Scott and Jill Barnett, to the database sooner rather than later? I read it this month and have my review written, just waiting for it to get in the database so I can add it.

Thanks!

Hey everybody, we've fallen off the pace a bit in adding new authors and books lately. Mostly it's because real life has a way of jacking up my plans but also we've spent a lot of time working on site updates and the Genre Lit-Flick list. Check that out if you've not seen it!

And now, I'm off on vacation for the next week! My apologies to those of you waiting on book additions. We'll get back on track when I return.

Happy reading!

I can't remember if these have already been requested, but could you add the Kate Elliott books, Spirit Gate, Shadow Gate, and Traitors' Gate in the Crossroads series, as well as Cold Magic and Cold Fire, which are the first two books in the Spiritwalker Trilogy? I've started reading Spirit Gate, assuming it would already be in the database. Thanks!
