I love browsing through the Science Fiction and Fantasy section in bookstores. It’s a different experience now that I’m paying so close attention to what’s being published and reviews of upcoming books. I already share the reviews that I’m reading (see the links under “Reviews by Others” in the right column), but I’d like to do a bit more. I’ve started pulling together a list of books that I really want to review and in the process I’ve also organized them by release date.

If all goes as planned, one of these Mondays I’ll post a list of the Science Fiction and Fantasy (also horror, but I don’t track that genre closely) titles hitting the shelves in the next week or so that I’m excited about. I’m not sure how frequently I’ll do one of these posts, but I’m pretty sure they’ll hit in the morning on Mondays, so that I have the weekend to work on them. To make this first post as good as possible I’d love comments about what books you’re anticipating.

Here’s a quick list of some of the places I’ve been tracking new books, mostly publishers and other review sites:

• Locus list of Publishers
• Books Received by SFsite.com
• Pyr Forthcoming
• The Big Idea on Whatever
• Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review
• Fantasy Book Critic
• Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist
• Urban Fantasy Land
• and plenty more…
