Well, that is my list this week. Agree? Disagree? Have some thoughts on my picks? Let us all know!
I love your list. The Wolf and King of Ashes are two books that I kept eyeballing but couldn’t make my mind up about requesting. I was trying to cut down my review books is the reason why. I still like the look of them though.
Hope you enjoy.

I am guessing that the new book by Feist has nothing to do with his Midkemia/Riftwar universe?
