Location: Rockford, IL		There are three more books in Barbara Hambly's James Asher Cronicles series: Traveling With the Dead, Blood Maidens, and The Magistrates of Hell.
Your list of Anne McCaffrey books is woefully thin - would you like a complete list? I think I have them all.

More missing women: Diana Pharaoh Francis, Diana L. Paxson, Fiona Patton.

Location: Rockford, IL		Lynn Flewelling is also missing from your list.
She wrote the Tamir trilogy and the Nightrunner series.

Kate Elliot's newer books are also missing - The Crossroads trilogy and the Spritwalker trilogy.

Location: The Wilds of Washington		abebooks.com has just blogged a top 50 essential SF book list.

http://www.abebooks.com/books/features/50-essential-science-fiction...

I've already looked and there are a few books on the list we don't have in the database.
Just adding those few would be lodes easier than the whole thing as a new list but that's your call.

Location: Rockford, IL		I still don't see Michelle Sagara (Chronicles of Elantra series, Queen of the Dead series) / Michelle West (Huntbrothers, Sun Sword series, House War series) in your list of women writers. Seems a shame to be missing such an excellent and prolific writer.

Location: Dallas, Texas		We haven't gotten around to all the book/author requests yet but we're working on them.  For WoGF books/authos we're paying more attention to the thread dedicated to them than to this thread which is for general book requests.  I've got all these on the to do list.  If there is one you are reading or will be reading next for the challenge let us know in the other thread and we'll move them up the list.  Thanks for the requests and for your patience.

Location: UK		@ Galleyangel.I am a huge fan of Diana Wynne Jones.Lots of her so called juvenile stuff is very enjoyable for adults too,like the Howls Moving Castle sequence.Have you ever come across her Rough Guide to Fantasy book,the Hugo non fiction winner? It purports to be a guide to Fantasyland,but is really a wicked sendup of all the fantasy tropes/cliches.There must have been a lot of red faced authors if they read this book.Great stuff! Wynne Jones was massively popular in the UK,and it was so sad when she died in 2011.I would definitely recommend her as a witty and original writer for both children and adults.

Location: Zagreb		I know you are busy with WoGF, but I just found and picked the book in library.
I'm not sure if this book won any award, and translation to english is pretty new (2010) and it's famous thanks to computer game. The book is: Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033.
Its about Moscow Metro after nuclear holocaust.

Here is a goodread link:

Location: Canada		Delighted to see the number of female genre writers in the database increasing, and happy to see this take priority.
Hopefully you will soon get around to the missing Katharine Kerr novels I noted several months back. I appreciate it is a lot of work that you do.
Disappointed, however, that what seems like the entire bibliography of new authors with no awards nominations seems to get uploaded ahead of missing books from multiple award winners (Card, Niven, etc) that I also noted along with the Kerr novels (thanks for uploading Niven's Children of earth series, though). Also, Vernor Vinge's "Tatya Grimm's World" and "The Witling" are very good reads.
Regardless of this little grumble, the site is still one of my most important resources on the web.

Location: scotland		Could the following Dean Koontz novels be added. I have read these and they are my favourite novels of his not in the database. I will then add reviews for all of them and I would recommend all of these.

Watchers.

From the Corner of his Eye.

Intensity.

Icebound.

The Face.

Seize the Night. (This is the follow up to Fear Nothing. The series is called Moonlight Bay.)

There are many others I would like to see added. He has written 50-60 novels. But these are the one's I would to submit my reviews for.

Thanks

Given that you have virtually every other Neal Asher book, could you add "The Engineer Reconditioned"?
