October means autumn is well and truly upon us: perfect for curling up with a hot drink, warm socks and a good book. There’s a glut of interesting new releases coming our way this month to tempt us away from the familiarity of our TBR too – check out my picks to Make Some Room for…

September is always a busy month in publishing, and this year is no exception. My apologies to the many titles I’ve ruthlessly ignored – and the many I’ve been ignorantly unaware of – in compiling my list of intriguing releases to make some room for this month…
Some pitches are irresistible. Try this one on for size: lesbian space pirates brought to you by Aliette de Bodard. Right? RIGHT? Good news – Aliette de Bodard’s novel-length space opera is flying to shelves near you this November, and I’m delighted to be part of the crew presenting The Red Scholar’s Wake gorgeous cover today.
Back in 2013, bloggers seemed to talk more fantasy than science fiction. In response, Rinn Reads set up SciFiMonth, a month-long celebration of the genre. Fast forward to 2022 and sign up for our TENTH annual event is now open! Come geek out with the finest crew of genre lovers as we celebrate the joys and horrors of but what if this November. Sure, we enjoy SF all year round – but SciFiMonth is when we enjoy it together.
It’s the heart of summer and you know what that means? It’s perfect weather to sit in the shade reading some new releases with a cooling drink. And it just so happens there’s some books heading our way imminently that I think you should make some room for…
Before we get too deep into July, it’s time to pause and examine the month’s most exciting releases (in my opinion; your mileage may vary). What intriguing new titles will be clamouring for you to make some room on your shelves?
Much to my own surprise, I seem to be down to between 1 and 7 books left to read for the Subjective Chaos Kind of Awards shortlists (depending on how many series I finish). I’ve now finished reading the novella nominees, so time for a quick round-up of the last two and a muse over where that leaves me…
I usually try to look at upcoming releases ahead of the month actually starting, but I ran out of puff towards the end of Wyrd & Wonder so I’m playing catch up today (what’s that? You thought I’d forgotten? Not a chance, your TBR is never safe around here). As ever, there’s lots coming our way, but these are the titles I’m most interested to make some room for…
Have you reinforced your shelves recently? You may want to consider it – May is stacked with intriguing releases to tempt even the strictest book buyer into adding to their TBR. Me, I’m a pushover so my shelves are bracing for impact! Time to run down the titles you might want to make some room…
It never rains but it pours: if March showered us with excellent releases, the April forecast is for a deluge that includes a few titles I’ve been looking forward to all year (and the tree editions of several books whose e-release I celebrated last month). It’s time to make some (more) room…
I can’t think what’s coming out in March, I thought. Must be a quiet month, I thought. Calm before the storm, I thought. Ahahaha, no, I just hadn’t been paying attention. Reinforce your shelves, friends, because March releases are on their way to tantalise you. Get ready to make some room for more than just one more.
Generations past, the robots of Panga achieved sentience and were unhappy with their lot. When humanity gave them their freedom, they disappeared into the wilderness. Now, they are ready to make contact again – and a restless young tea monk will be asked the biggest question: what makes humanity happy?
2022 looks to be another year where (unsurprisingly after the much-discussed Book Crisis of Winter 2021) some releases are being delayed or having separate digital and physical releases. The good news? There’s plenty of interesting titles heading our way next month! If there’s always room for one more, these are the ones I’m most tempted by.
If I’m brutally honest, there’s one book coming out this month that I’m more excited about than all the rest, but as usual there’s several intriguing titles heading our way. If there’s always room for one more, these are the ones I recommend you take a look at.
The day was due to be stressful enough when the only order of business was impressing a restaurant critic. One exploding space station later, winning a Nikkelin Orb will have to wait – assuming Captain Niko Larson and her crew can survive a petulant bioship, a vengeful pirate king and a side of imperial politics…
