📬 I do have form for entirely missing release promo on books 🫣 Other times I manage to go blissfully unaware of companion books in a series 😯
So I went “ooOoO” in the case of “Memory” by @lindanagata.bsky.social when I saw the below 👇 promo recently!

A paperback edition of Janny Wurts’ “Song of the Mysteries” sat on a table.
📬 I see a lot of hypewagon for the initial hardback release of a book, but a bit less for the paperback edition ~1y later.
Turns out I had entirely missed the paperback release of @jannywurts.bsky.social’s “Song of the Mysteries” back in April! 😳😲

📬 Picked up a copy of @garethlpowell.bsky.social’s “Who Will You Save” from @titanbooks.bsky.social.
I’ve got a fair few of them now 🤗 Who will I save? I am not sure yet 🫣

A paperback edition of Annie Jacobsen’s “Nuclear War: A Scenario” sat on a table.
📬 Before The @bunkerpod.bsky.social were on 🦋 I listened to “'Beyond terrifying' - What a nuclear war would really be like”, about a book that @nndroid.bsky.social described as “This is without doubt the most terrifying book I’ve ever read.”
😳

📬 Through the year @scifiscavenger.bsky.social has mentioned @caspargeon.bsky.social’s “The Immeasurable Heaven”.
It was hearing them chat about it together that fully tipped it onto my wishlist.
And lo, here it is, via @solarisbooks.bsky.social 🤗

📬 Quite some while ago @hannahfearn.bsky.social and @nndroid.bsky.social interviewed Eliza Filby on @bunkerpod.bsky.social & had a superb chat about the #BankOfMumAndDad.
Filby’s book #Inheritocracy has arrived in paperback, and now my shelves 🤗

📬 Yet another purchase related to @andyjohnson.xyz’s podcast, this time a conversation with @sfgeek.bsky.social and @kdsbooks.bsky.social spawned off in the comments👇
Comparisons between “The Demolished Man” and “The Stars My Destination” were made.

📬 Recently @andyjohnson.xyz highlighted a Stephen Baxter that I abruptly realised I was missing from my collection (he has his own shelf in my Library).
It turns out there’s a collected edition of the “Mammoth” trilogy which suited me just fine.

📬 I’ve been a bad, bad boy and done a #BookHaul 🤭
Mostly SFF plus a couple of non-fictions too.
I’ll toot up separately about some of these when I dig out some additional linkage and folks whom I want to mention.

Three paperback books arranged in a row on a table. They are MMP editions of the “Orbitsville” trilogy by Bob Shaw. From the left we have “Orbitsville”, “Orbitsville Departure” and “Orbitsville Judgement”.
The back covers of each of the “Orbitsville” books, again side-by-side on a table.
The spines of all three books are edged up a little to demonstrate how that of “Judgement” has faded at the spine and slightly around the edges compared to the similar “Departure”.
📬 Oh my, what are *these* that have just landed on m 🚪 mat today 🤭
Why it’s more books for my TBR, courtesy of @andyjohnson.xyz’s recent podcast rec. ☝️🥳
Used via WoB, pretty good nick with unbroken spines, though “Judgement” has a sun faded spine.

📬 Oh, hello, new #BookMail just in 🤗
This is “After the Syzygy”, which I read about over on @alankdell.bsky.social’s blog and thought sounded really interesting.
And suddenly it arrived! 😲 Fancy that! 🤭
Nice and short, will defo be read imminently.

📺 This chat between @scifiscavenger.bsky.social and @sueburke.bsky.social reminded me to go hunting for “Dual Memory” which arrived in paperback a few months ago.
I still have a while to wait for “Usurpation” in p/b, but that gives me time for a series reread.
