Summertime is an excellent time to peruse some new short stories. The Nebula Awards Showcase 2009 is a great collection of stories, they are all award nominees, and all beautifully written. There are also several chapters on the state of SFF today, and also coverage of award nominated movies. I'd also recommend Legends which is a collection of novellas from several famous authors, such as Anne McCaffrey, Robert Jordan, George R.R. Martin, Raymond Feist., etc . The novellas are actually new stories set in the worlds that these authors have made famous. This is where Robert Jordan's New Spring was first published.
Speaking of Robert Jordan, The Gathering Storm, Pt 1 of The Memory of Light is scheduled to be released November 3, 2009. The Memory of Light is the 3 part conclusion to The Wheel of Time, and is being completed by Brandon Sanderson, per www.Tor.com. Tor is also running a re- read of the whole series, to be completed at approximately the same time as the release. HCPL's catalog of available titles is here, and it includes the book on cd version (for those tiresome commutes) and also the link to our downloadable audiobook, that you can transfer to your mp3 player. Happy Reading!!
