This month we are featuring 42 books. There are probably twice as many new sff and related releases this month but we are limiting ourselves to books that will be reviewed here or are similar with such. For the full schedule of April titles known to us, you can consult the Upcoming Releases page.
The release dates are US unless marked otherwise, though for books released in the UK and US in the same month but on different dates we use the earliest date without comment and they 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 Since information sometimes is out of date even in the Amazon/Book Depository links we use for listings, books get delayed or sometimes even released earlier, we would truly appreciate if you would send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.

Wants them all!
Thanks for an EXCELLENT blogpost.
Argh. Suffering from too many wants now.
I hate/love you guys!
Oh that was a great spread!
Thank you.
Sea of Ghosts was a damn good read, and so far Among Thieves is proving to be excellent. Hmm, seems I haven't got enough books though :P
Congratulations on your blog. Well done! My novel, DREAM KEEPER, is due to be released in a few months time. My publisher in the US has set up a site where it is available at a pre-release price. I am hoping in the future I will be fortunate enough to have my novel reviewed by you. I will be definitely following your informative blog. Thanks again!
Blast those writers and publishers! They're going to continue to keep my wallet thin. So great stuff coming out, this is really turning out to be a stellar year for SFF.
By the way love the site's new look.
Wow. Some titles I'll definitely have to check out further. Always love these monthly posts, even though they cause my wish list to grow like a Peep in a microwave.
P.S. - Digging the new design for the blog. Pretty.
Thanks for the comments everyone! April is definitely a great month for new releases :D
Jamie, be sure to let us know what you think of Among Thieves. It's probably my favorite fantasy debut of the year so far.
Diane, thanks for the heads up regarding your novel. We'll let you know if we're interested in covering it...
