Hugo nominee haul I

I'm sure you've noticed that I've not been posting much lately. I'm hoping to start changing that soon as well as providing an update; suffice it to say for the moment that it's been a hell of a month, with some obnoxious happenings at work, but I'm about to go on a much-needed vacation.

It's getting close to Hugo season, which of course is time for more book orders. I made the first of two expected orders to pick up the Hugo nominees for this year as well as a few other things that looked interesting, even though I've not been doing well so far this year at reading. The contents of this order:

Steven Brust — Iorich (sff)
Pamela Dean — The Secret Country (sff)
Pamela Dean — The Hidden Land (sff)
Rosmeary Kirstein — The Steerswoman's Road (sff)
Ellen Klages — White Sands, Red Menace (mainstream)
Michael Lewis — Panic (non-fiction)
Sarah Monette — Corambis (sff)
Cherie Priest — Boneshaker (sff)
Robert J. Sawyer — WWW: Wake (sff)
John Scalzi — The God Engines (sff)
Catherynne M. Valente — Palimpsest (sff)

I'm hoping to get a lot of reading and reviewing done over the next week, but I'm hoping more than that to do absolutely anything I feel like doing.
