Random quote: It is my conviction that the human race is no proper target for harsh words and bitter criticisms, and that the only justifiable feeling towards it is compassion; it did not invent itself, and it had nothing to do with the planning of its weak and foolish character. -- Mark Twain (The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 2)

They're not in yet.  I've collected the images and one of our Uber Users will come along shortly to add the books to the DB.  I only commented before so they wouldn't waste time hunting down the cover art since I already have it.  Sorry for the confusion.

Okay, I've added skeleton records for the books (there are 20 of them!) right now, and will get back and do the Amazon/Audible links and the synopses as I can (or another Uber can feel free to do that, too). ISFDB isn't cooperating right now -- I managed to get the series page, but couldn't get the individual book pages -- so I've put them all in as Published by Starblaze and will have to fix the Publishers later, too.

It doesn't appear as though there's been an anthology of the associated short fiction.

I added synopsis, excerpt, and cover image. Thanks, IS for the help.  Only thing left is the pub info.

Could someone please add Lois McMaster Bujold's "Penric's Demon" - I realize it's a novella, but it is available in hardcover from Subterranean Press and is up for a Hugo.

Grr - finally found it. It's not in the series with the rest, but just the title in a list. NOT easy to find.

It is marked as being in the same series, and if you search on "Chalion", or click "The Chalion Series" on any of the books in the series, it will come up (and of course, it comes up in a search for either or both words of the title). It also shows up with the rest of the books if you look under the SF/F/H Series feature for Fantasy beginning with the letter C.

However, because it is short fiction rather than a novel, it does not appear grouped with the novels on the author's page -- it appears in the list of their short fiction at the bottom of the page.

HI, could you please add Paul Cornell's The Lost Child of Lychford? It's out in November. Also the last in VE Schwab's Shades of magic trilogy-due in February next year. Or is it too early to ask??
Thanks!

Could you add "Marrow Island" by Alexis M. Smith, and also add her to the Woman Authors list? Thanks.

Here's the Amazon listing for "Marrow Island"

Some more 2016 books I've purchased/pre-ordered recently which I'd love to have added:

Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge - Paul Krueger
Waypoint Kangaroo - Curtis Chen
New Pompeii - Daniel Godfrey
The Suicide Motor Club - Christopher Buehlman
A Green and Ancient Light - Frederic Durbin
Silent Hall - N S Dolkart

I really have to stop buying books!
Thanks

Bertram Chandler - the John Grimes series Thanks a bunch!

These are in:

Philip Wylie - The End of the Dream
Quinn Reade - Quest of the Dark Lady
John Jakes - Mention My Name in Atlantis
Del DowDell - Warlord of Ghandor
Gardner Fox - Hunter out of Time

Already in under variant titles:

C.L. Moore - Black God's Kiss. This one is a variant of Jirel of Joiry. The collection has been published under four different names that I am aware of but more only ever wrote six Jirel stories.
Edward P. Bradbury (AKA Michael Moorcock) - Barbarians of Mars. This one is in under the title Masters of the Pit (Moorcock).

 David J. Lake is a pain to enter and the book you request is one in a series. I will come back for this one later.

Dray Prescott Series and John Grimes series. Depending on how you count the Presscott series has 50+ booke and Grimes 30+. It ain't happening right now. I will see if one of the other uberuseers fancies a project.

 I prefer not to enter books until about two months before publication. Mostly for practical reasons. Publication schedules change, cover art may not be definitive, no excerpts are available yet, it is often unclear if the will be an audio book edition etc. It's easier to for us to wait a bit and get all the information in in one go. Also, with the exception of the people who have access to ARCs, members can't actually read those novels yet. I'd rather put something it that is of more immediate use.

I'll keep an eye on both titles. They will be added a little closer to the publication date.

We turned a request for these down before because they are e-book only some time back I think. They are up for discussion in the uberuser forum. Know that all the individual Tor.com stories have been added to the database. You can always label the individual stories as read.
