Release Week: Words of Radiance, Ghost Train to New Orleans, Tropic of Serpents, Half Bad, The King in Yellow read by Stefan Rudnicki, and Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West performed by Jonathan Frakes

FEBRUARY 26-MARCH 4, 2014: And here I thought that last week was packed. This week saw almost 200 titles released on March 4 alone, with another 100 on March 3. My picks of this avalanche include an epic fantasy sequel from Brandon Sanderson, an urban fantasy sequel from Mur Lafferty, anthropological dragon memoir fantasy (yes, it exists, it's totally a genre, and yes, it's a sequel), and hey, more fantasy, the highly-anticipated debut Half Bad by Sally Green, and a classic 1895 novel-in-stories, performed

Whispersync Deal Roundup: Night Shade Books, the Baen Free Library, and The Shambling Guide to New York City
Posted on 2014-02-27 at 19:01 by Sam
Thursday, February 27, 2014: I didn't see a particular Kindle Daily Deal title to feature today, so I'll take the time to write up a few more "general" cases. First up, because I understand this to be a limited time offer (though my inquiries as to how long have not yet made it through the aether and spam filter and inbox queue yet, or, most likely, didn't look to be worth answering) is from Night Shade Books, which has put a pretty sizable crop of its titles on sale. (BUT WHERE IS MY JM McDERMOTT? MY KAMER

Sam's Listening Report: February 2013
Posted on 2013-11-21 at 13:00 by Sam
Well... wow. I've really let these reports get way, way out of hand. It's mid-November! Anyway... I'm not really sure how it happened, but though February is the shortest month it was a huge month of listening for me after quite a start to the year in January as well. I also threaded in John Scalzi's episodic The Human Division (which I won't review myself here, since Dave covered these magnificently through his Listen-a-Long). Wonderful books and in a splendid variety, from a crazed serial killer in New

The Shambling Guide to New York City Listen-a-Long: Chapter 5
Posted on 2013-06-04 at 02:46 by Sam
Welcome to the latest installment of The Shambling Guide to New York City Listen-a-Long, covering Chapter 5 of Mur Lafferty’s The Shambling Guide to New York City. As always, before I get into the write-up, a warning, that I’ll repeat each episode, that the discussion here is oh-so-spoilerific, so if that’s a concern, pop over and take the less-than-half-an-hour each to listen to the podcast episodes first. On to…

Release Week: Mur Lafferty's The Shambling Guide to New York City, Chuck Wendig's The Blue Blazes, Emma Newman's Any Other Name, and Hugh Howey's Shift
Posted on 2013-05-29 at 18:33 by Sam
MAY 22-28, 2013: It's a mammoth release week to (more or less) close May, ahead of a gigantic release day Wednesday (today) which I'll cover both in a post of its own and of course in a bit lesser detail in the next release week roundup. It's also a particularly big release week for self-published (a.k.a. "indie") titles again, and while Angry Robot on Brilliance Audio snags two of my picks of the week, my top pick is probably no surprise to anyone at this point. In the "seen but not heard" listings it's
