Top 25 most-anticipated books of June 2014

Posted on 2014-06-05 at 18:40 by Sam

Everyone has their own lists, but here’s ours: what we're most looking forward to this month, in chronological order of release, with audiobook information if we know about it. (I tried holding the list to 10 as I managed for last month's preview, but after a second pass cutting as much as I was close to happy with, I was still in the 30s. Trimming further to 25 was hard enough!)

In the interests of time (and blog clutter) I'm going to do most "daily" Whispersync Deal posts only on Facebook/Twitter. But! As it's May 1, there's a whole crop of monthly deals to scan through. Which I have. As far as I can tell, they're valid through May 31.

In the 20 Kindle Books for $2 Each listings I found a couple of good ones, starting with Seanan McGuire's Indexing, read by Mary Robinette Kowal, for $2 Kindle plus $1.99 Whispersync for Voice upgrade. "For most people, the story of their lives is

Release Week: Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam, Kim Stanley Robinson's Shaman, Toby Barlow's Babayaga, and Seanan McGuire's Chimes at Midnight

AUGUST 28-SEPTEMBER 3, 2013: September kicks off with two of my most anticipated titles of the year, Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam and Kim Stanley Robinson's Shaman. It also brings news from The Hugo Awards at this weekend's World Science Fiction Convention in San Antonio, where Mur Lafferty (The Shambling Guide to New York City) won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Author, and John Scalzi's Redshirts was named Best Novel. This week does not, however, bring all the audiobooks that were hoped for: in

Release Week: Robert Jackson Bennett, Seanan McGuire, Joel Rosenberg, and A.A. Attanasio

Two of 2012's most missing audiobooks and two backlist books from two of my favorite authors highlight the pre-Thanksgiving release week.

The Troupe By Robert Jackson Bennett, Narrated by Luis Moreno for Recorded Books -- Length: 18 hrs and 6 mins -- Published in February in print and ebook by Orbit, it's been a leading contender for "most missing audiobook" all year for me, and leads off the Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2012 - SF/F/H list: "Best-selling author Robert Jackson Bennett has won widespread

Release week: Clockwork Angels, Ashes of Honor, Infidel, Battle Royale, and Felix J. Palma

September kicks off with quite a vengeance with new audio of both new, newly translated, and long-running series. As usual I have my “seen but not heard” complaints, led in a big way by the new widely-praised Tad Williams urban fantasy novel The Dirty Streets of Heaven and the Cory Doctorow/Charles Stross joint The Rapture of the Nerds but, I guess, you can’t have everything.

Out on September 1 was Clockwork Angels: The Novel By Kevin J. Anderson, Narrated by Neil Peart for Brilliance Audio. “International
