This month Robert Thompson provided most of the book titles with additions by Cindy Hannikman, Liviu Suciu and Mihir Wanchoo. We are featuring 60 books. This month there were considerably more new sff releases but we tried to limit ourselves to a reasonable number and we chose the books most in tune with what's reviewed here.
The release dates are US unless marked otherwise and the books are first edition unless noted differently. The dates are on a best known basis so they are not guaranteed; same about the edition information. Since information sometimes is out of date even in the Amazon/Book Depository links we use for listings, books get delayed or sometimes even released earlier, we would truly appreciate if you would send us an email about any listing with incorrect information.
Sometimes a cover image is not available at the time of the post and also sometimes covers change unexpectedly so while we generally use the Amazon one when available and cross check with Google Images, the ultimate bookstore cover may be different.

Have any of you read Devil is in the Details? It sounds either really good or really bad. Wondering which :)
One more comment - I've read Think of a Number, and while I loved it (as did some of my colleagues) it is not sff, just a really good mystery-thriller.
Both of these look like Mihir's choices so he may comment on them.
Even at 60 books - which I selected from a considerably lengthier list - and it is impossible to cover all, but we try to have the books of interest to us and/or the ones closest such
Hi Anne
Thanks for your comments, I'll be trying to review both the books over here. If you like here's a lengthy excerpt of "A Devil in the Details" http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780451463432,00.html?sym=EXC
"Think of a number" is a supposedly good debut & I would love to hear your thoughts about it on FB. We try to cover as many genres as we can as evidenced by Liviu & Cindy's reviews(even though we are called Fantasybookcritic) Thanks & have a fun I-Day weekend.
Mihir
I'm interested in A Devil in the Details by K.A. Stewart myself. Heard that fans of Dresden should enjoy it.
Will look forward to a review if you guys end up doing one.
@ B.
I'll try to review this one if I get the arc copy. From what I read in the excerpt, the book seems intriguing.

Hey Mihir and the rest:
I'm actually reading A Devil in the Details right now, and I'm liking it so far. Even if you end up not liking the concept, you can tell that the author will be one to keep an eye out in the genre. The main character's voice is a good one, and the situation of champion vs. demon is more interesting than one is led to believe.
