I heard many good things about License to Quill from someone whose taste I trust (my dearest fan ;-), and being a historical fiction fan the book held a natural interest.

Finally a full-length novel in Djèlí Clark's steampunk Cairo series!

I previously read and loved Houlihan's d'Bois novels, so was interested to explore his other writing.

I adored the previous Alex Southerland novels, so when I got the ARC for this one I practically squealed with joy. It was worth the wait!

This novella won both Hugo and Nebula, a big distinction. I like to occasionally read what's the art-critics like in the genre, so delved in.

As a lover of fantasy and detectives I've long had Glen Cook's Garrett Files on my TBR. This review is for the first in the series, but I expect to read through it this year.

I've long had Maddox Roberts' SPQR series on my TBR list (ever since I started reading Roman whodunits - Lindsey Davis, Steven Saylor, et al), but it took some time to get to this series.

I love the Corvinus mysteries, so was excited to see a new one out.

I loved Holt's more fantasy works (especially under his KJ Parker pen-name), so was eager to try his pure historical fiction.

I previously enjoyed Djèlí Clark's "The Haunting of Tram Car 015", so was looking forward to more stories set in the same world.
