Totally with you on Bradbury. One of the most talented writer of the 20th century. "Somewhere a band is playing" is still one of my all time favorite short-story... People often talk about Fahrenheit 451, but for me it's "Dandelion Wine" that really showcases his talent and genius.

I guess you skipped the gym the day you had to fetch that haul out of Half Price Books? Seems like it would have been enough of a workout. Song for Arbonne, Anansi Boys, Kagen the Damned, Jasmine Throne are all great reads. And I second the opinion that Brent Weeks' Lightbringer is underrated. The series kind of went weird towards the end but still a lot to enjoy. I have to check out Rob J. Hayes very soon!

On my old channel I had to start telling people that I would be happy to feature their book on the channel if they sent it to me but I couldn't guarantee a review. And I didn't get probably near what you get. For me it was once I felt like I had to read something I didn't feel like reading it, and wouldn't read other things because I should be reading this thing and it would just put me in a slump. I'll most likely have the same policy with this new channel if I get to the point where authors are reaching out. I'll be happy to feature, but can't guarantee a review.

I don't know how you guys can even attempt to keep up with review copies. I know Daniel Greene is like a year behind on shouting out indie books, so shoutouts that are bit sooner can be very beneficial just so they're on people's radars. Tom Orange has been talked about the Vampire books a lot lately. I will be interesting to see if you think the same given your concerns. Overall a great haul and I think we would only be surprised if it was less than a dozen books. I'm mostly only moving stuff from my wishlist to my short list if Audilbe has a 2 for 1 credit sale (It's so long that I rarely just use 1 credit for 1 book until it's close to the end of the year and I need to use the credits). In April that was The Ocean at the End of the Lane and The Shadow of the Torturer. I moved 10 over this month. No eBooks last month.
