New Booksies

I have a fairly large haul since my last new booksies post a little while ago. In chronological order...

First up, courtesy of NetGalley, I received:
  • The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke — which I am super looking forward to party because of the title (what's not to like?) and partly because I loved her debut YA book, The Assassin's Curse.
  • Pantomime by Laura Lam — which looks intriguing and I have high hopes for, since I've loved everything I've read from Strange Chemistry.
  • The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord — and intriguing new SF novel. I haven't read all that much recent non-YA SF, hopefully this one won't be disappointing.
  • A Galactic Holiday — a collection of three holiday themed SF-y novellas from Carina Press. Last year's steampunk collection included Wanted: One Scoundrel, so I'm hoping it'll be fun.
And then, rather excitingly, the two latest Twelve Planets ebooks arrived in my inbox:
  • Cracklescape by Margo Lanagan
  • Through Splintered Walls by Kaaron Warren
Both of which I'm looking forward to. All the other collections in the Twelve Planets have been great in a variety of ways so it'll be interesting to see what these two bring to the table.

  2. The Mad Scientist's Daughter looks fabulous (although what is it with all these books called The Such-and-Such's Daughter or The Such-and-Such's Wife?)

  3. Maybe it's supposed to sound romantic or mysterious or something. I just hope it's less depressing than The Time Traveller's Wife (I'm sure it will be).
