Book of the Week: Victory of Eagles.

Shocking as it sounds, we’re replacing Shatnerquake with Naomi Novik’s Victory of Eagles, which has finally come out in paperback. It’s the latest in the Temeraire series, so read the other books first.

‘Shatnerquake.’

Shatnerquake

From the product description:

William Shatner? William Shatner. WILLIAM SHATNER!!! It’s the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner.

I roll to disbelieve.

PS: Of course it’s the goram Book of the Week.

Book of the Week: The Quotable Will Rogers.

And so we remove The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld and replace it with The Quotable Will Rogers, for no other reason than I just referenced it and it amuses me to do so.

Hey, I’m goofy that way.

Book of the Week: The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld.

We remove The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression and replace it with The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld, which I imagine is a good deal more cheerful.

Well, I have all the Discworld novels, after all. So I’ve already read every word in the book. Just… in different order, that’s all.

Book of the week, plus upcoming books.

And so we remove The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress and replace it with the John Adams biography. But I also want to note that the following three books will be coming out very soon:

…and I’m looking forward to all three.
