Debut Coverage Elsewhere

I constantly accumulate links to other debut coverage in the sidebar to the left, but every couple of weeks I like to call attention to debut news and reviews on blogs elsewhere. Here's the latest round-up.

Thunderer by Felix Gilman releases today, but Robert is way ahead of me, as usual, with his review. He's already mentioning it as a possible favorite for 2008!

SMD has reviewed another small press novel over at The Fantasy and SciFi Lovin' Book Review. This one is The Longevity Thesis by Jennifer Rahn and he gives it mostly high marks.

Mark Rose over at Bookgasm is somewhat mixed in his review of Interred with Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell.

Over at Grasping for the Wind, John seems to have enjoyed Rosemary Jones's Crypt of the Moaning Diamond. Rosemary also offered me this novel, but at the time, I was booked. I'll probably go ahead and pick it up on my next bookstore trip; John makes it sound fun.

Lawrence over at the Gravel Pit is not wild about Brian Francis Slattery's Spaceman Blues: A Love Song. He calls it the weirdest book he read in 2007.

The prolific Robert has mixed feelings about Across the Face of the World by Russell Kirkpatrick. This is up next on my reading list so I'm feeling a bit of trepidation.

To end on a more positive note, Pat at the Fantasy Hotlist was quite happy with The Devil You Know by Mike Carey. He makes it sound like it might be more my cup of tea than I thought it would be.

I'm expecting two guest reviews in upcoming weeks, plus two interviews (one which I still have to actually write). I should be done with Auralia's Colors in the next day or so. Once I finish it, I'll post my favorites of 2007 list.

Debut Coverage in My Favorite Blogs

I always have links in my sidebar gizmo to the latest stuff that I have noticed on other blogs. However, since the sidebar is easy to ignore, I like to occasionally do a round up of all the debut coverage that I've noticed elsewhere.

Pat has put up a review of Acacia on his Fantasy Hotlist, and it is not entirely favorable. He's garnered some comments that both agree and disagree with him.

There are two related posts up on John Lindqvist's Let Me In, one at the Fantasy and SciFi Lovin' Book Review, written by TexasBoyBlue, and the other at TexasBoyBlue's Of Science Fiction.

Chris the Book Swede has invited Jennifer Rardin, author of Once Bitten, Twice Shy, to do his Favorite Quote feature this week. She picked a Mark Twain quote about -- what else? -- laughter.

UPDATE! He also has an interview with Patrick Rothfuss! It's hilarious too!

SQT is giving away a copy of Darwin's Paradox by Nina Munteanu over at her Fantasy and SciFi Lovin' Book Review. Hurry! The deadline for the contest is tomorrow.

Jennifer Rardin becomes an early Debut Graduate with her recent release of Another One Bites the Dust, and Kimberly Swan over at Darque Reviews has a review.
