ACQUIRING: More Christmas Books

OK, here's some books I picked up/received while I was in AZ for Christmas (where it rained; do you hear me? it rained in AZ when I was there! grrr). Sorry that it's not tilted correctly, you'll have to turn your monitor on its side to look at them:



In the image, you'll see Stephen King's Lisey's Story, Margo Langan's White Time, Ysaubeau Wilce's Flora Segunda, and Denny DeMartino's Wayward Moon. Of these books, I received the King book from my in-laws as a gift and I bought the other three.

The DeMartino has a longer story as to why I bought it that I'll get into sometime later this year (short version: it's a pseudonym of an overlooked author I like), the Langan was an impulse buy at a used bookstore, and the Wilce is something I was inspired to get after recently reading her novella in July's F&SF. I'll be going to her reading at KGB in about a week, so I wanted to get a sense of what her writing was like. Yowza! It's fricking great! This book is set in the same world as the F&SF piece. It is a YA or younger book, but that shouldn't deter people wanting to read more in that world.
