I've still got a few in the pile though, so thought I'd get rid of two in the next batch. I'm also thinking about an 'End of the World' theme later - but certainly won't be adding his latest series to that list!

I'll be diving into my usual bunch of fairly random stuff which will take me into the early part of next year......<br /><br />After that, my next themed batch will be Alternate History so that inevitably means Turtledove. I'll use him as the themes bookends and then mix up the centre bit as much as possible - though a surprising amount of alt-history stuff seems to be based in WW2 for some reason...<br /><br />Oh, and after reading the piece on your other site I think you'll be interested in some of the politically left-wing stuff I have coming up next year too. Nothing too specific yet but it will be a largely European take on things which might make an interesting contrast to your reading of American authors on the subject.CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.com
