This week there are two new additions to the TBR pile.
I had been planning to read The Summer Queen and skip this one since it is out of print, but I found a copy of World's End for fairly cheap. It was hard for me to believe since it was much cheaper than most copies I saw at $10 plus it was a signed, numbered hardcover edition with a slipcase that was supposed to be like new. That sounded too good to be true, but I got it this past week and it really is all that AND in excellent condition. So I was very happy. This one is also much, much shorter than The Summer Queen so it will not take long to read it first.
This was another review copy that just showed up one day unexpectedly. Spider's Bite is the first book in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. It was just released and the next two books in the series will also be released this year (Web of Lies in June and Venom in October). I do like assassins and I've been hearing good things about this book so I'm considering giving it a try. The first chapter is available on the author's website.

Don't you just love it when that happens? I remember being over the moon when I found a hardcover copy of The Virtu (I've since found a MMP version, also very reasonably priced).
I can't wait to see what you think of Bone Crossed!
Orannia - Oh yes, I do love that! I thought it must be in worse condition than they said for that price, but I figured it was cheap enough that I'd take that chance. So I was very pleased to see it really did look like it could be new.
I can't wait to read Bone Crossed and that is why I'm reading it as soon as I finish what I am reading now. It's been a long wait! I may not be strong enough to wait for the next book to come to paperback if this one is as good as the rest.
