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

dalex - 2016-07-16 8:59 PM Thank you for adding my requests, valashain. Here are a few more... The Life of Elves by Muriel Barbery The Slynx by Tatyana Tolstaya White Walls: Collected Stories by Tatyana Tolstaya An Accident of Stars by Foz Meadows (August 2) Good Morning, Midnight by Lily Brooks-Dalton (August 9) The Gate of Sorrows by Miyuki Miyabe (August 16) The Family Plot by Cherie Priest (September 20)

I need to do some research on the Tolsatay books, having some trouble finding the original publications and the first English publication. The rest is in.

daxxh - 2016-07-16 7:46 PM Can someone add Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson? There's lots of King Arthur books on the site and this is another. I'd like to read it for the Discoveries in Genre Challenge. Thanks!

This one is a pain in the arse to add. There must two dozen different editions, all with a different table of content. I had a stab at it but I don't vouch for its accuracy.

Location: Sheffield, UK		Greetings

Is there a chance somebody could add 'Red Queen' by Christina Henry? It's the sequel to 'Alice', so that one will probably need updating to show it as part of a series as well.

Many thanks in advance.

Please add SL Huang's Plastic Smile.

Books 3 and 4 have been added.

Dlw28 - 2016-07-30 3:47 PM
Also Jodi Taylor's novella The First Damn Thing.

I'm the one who's been adding in these novels, because I read them, too. However, she's got several pieces of e-book-only short fiction, including this one, which I think are probably outside the parameters of the short fiction we've been adding.

We may revisit this policy in the future at some point, and if so, I'll keep these short ebooks in mind for additions.
